The sheriff said his office has recommended a number of charges, including obstruction.

They also discovered that Borgwardt also took out a $375,000 life insurance policy in January.

Good try, good effort, Ryan.

It’s takes an exceptional lack of balls to abandon your family via fake death.

I know hindsight is 20/20, Ryan.

But I think we can agree this was a poor decision.

You could have left your family in a million different ways.

You didn’t have to fake your own death to move to Uzbekistan and be with Yasmina.

You would have had to work some things out in court back in the states.

You’d have had to pay some child support.

But there are ways you could have done it.

You even could have lied.

Tell your family you’re going on a work trip.

Say you oughta go to Europe to clear your head.

See how living with your internet crush goes for a while.

If it turns out life in Uzbekistan is everything you dreamed of, then come clean.

Or just keep on lying forever.

You’re be a piece of shit no matter which way you do it.

But anything would have been better than resorting to fake kayak death.

But that’s what you went with.

You decided put an extraordinary amount of effort into abandoning your family in the most cowardly way possible.

Now you’re in custody… now you’ll probably be a felon.

Looking back, I bet that difficult conversation with your wife doesn’t seem so difficult.

Not as difficult as the conversation is now.

When it came out, everybody said it was someone else.

But it was him right?

It has to be.

It looks exactly like him.

Should have listened to TikTok girl, Ryan.

She was wise beyond her years.
