Meet Ryan Borgwardt, a 45-year-old kayaker who recently made a mysterious appearance in a video from an undisclosed location. Ryan had disappeared during a solo kayaking trip in Green Lake, Wisconsin, back in August. His capsized kayak and life jacket were found, triggering a large-scale search and rescue operation involving various resources such as divers, drones, sonar, and specialized dogs. However, as the investigation progressed, authorities began to suspect that something fishy was going on.
According to reports from ABC News, the Green Lake County Sheriff's Department discovered that Ryan's name had been checked by Canadian police on August 13, just a day after his disappearance. This raised a red flag and led investigators to believe that Ryan may have faked his own death and fled the country. It was also revealed that Ryan had obtained a new passport shortly before his disappearance, which further fueled the suspicion.
Further analysis of Ryan's laptop showed a digital trail indicating that he had planned to travel to Europe and had attempted to mislead the authorities. After months of relentless efforts, the authorities were finally able to track down Ryan. However, his exact whereabouts remain a mystery. The sheriff, Mark Podoll, revealed that they were able to make contact with a woman who speaks Russian, and through her, they were able to get in touch with Ryan.
This was a significant breakthrough in the case, as Ryan finally confirmed his identity in a video shared by the police. However, he still refused to disclose his exact location, leaving the authorities to speculate that he may be somewhere in Eastern Europe. According to reports from ABC News, it is believed that Ryan may have faked his death to reunite with a woman he had been in contact with in Uzbekistan.
Despite daily communication with the authorities, Ryan has not spoken to his wife or children. As the holiday season approaches, the sheriff urged Ryan to think about his family and come home for Christmas. He also mentioned that Ryan had not revealed how he was supporting himself in his current location, but speculated that he may have a job as he is a "smart guy."
During the investigation, it was also discovered that Ryan had taken out a $375,000 life insurance policy in January. However, it was for the benefit of his family, not himself. The sheriff added that Ryan's family is eagerly waiting for his return and that there couldn't be a better gift for his children than to have their father back home for Christmas.
