A Wisconsin man who faked his own drowning this summer and left his wife and three children has been located in Eastern Europe and is communicating with law enforcement, but he has not committed to returning home, authorities said.
Green Lake County Sheriff Mark Podoll said Thursday that Ryan Borgwardt began communicating with authorities Nov. 11, after they tracked him down. The sheriff showed a video that Borgwardt sent police that day from an undisclosed location.
The sheriff said no criminal charges have been filed and he does not believe they will be necessary while authorities "keep pulling at his heartstrings" to come home.
