Ryan Borgwardt, a 45-year-old man from Wisconsin, who faked his own drowning in Green Lake to flee to Eastern Europe, has returned to the U.S. and is now in custody at the Green Lake County Jail. Borgwardt, who left behind his wife and three children, later sent video evidence proving he was alive and had staged his disappearance. His return was reportedly motivated by a desire to be with his family, according to the local sheriff.
