Man who faked death is alive and well in Europe



When Borgwardt didn’t return home from a fishing trip on Green Lake in Wisconsin in early August, local authorities believed he had drowned. But now they believe he is alive and well, instead of at the bottom of the lake.

Investigators discovered Borgwardt had recently transferred money to a foreign bank account, replaced the hard drive on his computer and communicated with a woman in Uzbekistan.

He had also gotten a new passport, which was checked by Canadian authorities the day after he was reported missing, and had taken out a $375,000 life insurance policy earlier in the year, leading investigators to believe Borgwardt faked his death and fled the country.

Investigators believe Borgwardt is in Eastern Europe, but they aren’t sure where.
