Authorities have confirmed that the Green Lake County kayaker who went missing earlier this year has been located and is now in custody.
Ryan Borgwardt, who reportedly faked his death in August, was arrested and placed in the Green Lake County Jail.
While his exact charges are still unclear, the sheriff’s office says Borgwardt staged his disappearance by leaving behind his kayak, vehicle, and other items, then escaping using an e-bike, a bus, and eventually a plane.
Last month, the sheriff suggested that Borgwardt might have been in Uzbekistan.
A press conference set for 10:00 a.m. today (December 11th) in Green Lake County is expected to provide more details on the case.
