Wisconsin Kayaker Allegedly Fakes Death, Escapes to Europe

Authorities in Wisconsin suspect that Ryan Borgwardt, a kayaker reported missing in August, staged his disappearance and fled to Europe. Despite an extensive search, no body was found, and further investigation revealed Borgwardt's name was checked by Canadian law enforcement shortly after his disappearance. Evidence suggests he took out a life insurance policy, communicated with a woman from Uzbekistan, and made financial arrangements to move abroad. Authorities believe Borgwardt is alive and in Eastern Europe, and they are considering charges against him.
