A visconsin man who Kayaking drowned his own And his wife and three children were convicted on Tuesday for obstructing an officer for meeting a woman in Georgia country and sentenced to 89 days in jail, which was the amount at a time when he successfully mislead the law enforcement about his hideout.
The punishment given to Ryan Borgward was almost double until a recommendation was made with the prosecutors.
The 45 -year -old Borgward initially not convicted the misconduct arising out of his detailed escape from the country last August. But under the petition unveiled on Tuesday, Borgward turned its petition into a competition and agreed to pay $ 30,000 in restoration of law enforcement to cover what was spent to find out. A No-Custest Petition is not an entry of crime, but it is believed to be for the purposes of punishment.
Before the sentencing, Borgward said in the court, “I regret deeply on the tasks that night that night and all my family, friends,”.
Prosecutors sentenced Borgword to just 45 days jail from Green Lake County Circuit Judge Mark Slate. But the judge doubled it for about 89 days. The judge said that he was declared missing until the Sheriff Department contacted him abroad.
Slate said, “They obstruct law enforcement for a total of 89 days.”
The judge said that long punishment can serve as a barrier to someone else, which can consider his death and misleading law enforcement.
Borgword was reported to be missing on August 12, 2024, before he told his wife to tell his wife about 100 miles north of Milwoki in the Green Lake in the west.
The officials responding to the report found the Borgward car and the trailer standing on the banks of the lake, and a capsized kayak which was obviously in an area where the water was about 220 feet deep.
His disappearance was first investigated as a possible drowning. But after the 58-day discovery, after failing to find your body, the investigation became widespread.
After informing the officials, the investigation took a turn that the Canadian officials had examined the name of Borgward on August 13, 2024 as per Sheriff Office.
Green Lake chief deputy matte wandalkol told CBS News in November The fact that the name of Borgrate was checked by law enforcement in Canada, when he disappeared “attracted our attention,” because it meant “he had contact with Canadian law enforcement in any way, size or form.”
The subsequent clue, in which he received a new passport three months before the disappearance, motivated investigators to guess that Borgward threw his death to meet a woman from Uzbekistan, with which he was communicating.
A forensic analysis of a laptop that was given to investigators by Borgward’s wife also suspected that she had engineered to disappear some places in Europe.
Investigators approached Borgword in November and convinced him to return to the US in December. He put himself in And was accused of obstructing his body’s discovery. His wife, 22, divorced him after four months.
According to a criminal complaint, Borgward covered a distance of 50 miles from his family home to Green Lake in Waltown on August 11, 2024. During the night, he overturned his kayak on the lake, returned to the edge in an inflatable fleet, which he brought with him – dumping his identity with the lake – an electric bicycle 70 miles. From there, he caught a bus for Toronto, flew to Paris and then “a country in Asia”, before he landed in Georgia in the European country according to criminal complaints.
He told the investigators that a woman picked him up and spent several days in a hotel before he resided in Georgia, according to the complaint.
Green Lake County District Attorney Geraris Laspisa said further, “His entire plan to fake his death to fulfill his selfish desires, to die in the lake and fulfill his selfish desires to sell his death in the lake and sell his death to the world.”
He said that he took out a life insurance policy, applied for a replacement passport and reversed his male sterilization before his death to meet a woman found online a few months ago.
“The defendant did not rely on the determination and dedication of our law enforcement,” Laspisa said.
Borgward’s Attorney, Eric Johnson said that Borgward “deepened” his actions, and he returned to the country “to amend.” He said that Borgward paid $ 30,000 in restoration last week.
