On the morning of August 12, Ryan Borgwardt’s wife contacted authorities, reporting that her husband hadn’t returned from a kayaking trip on Green Lake the previous night and wasn’t answering his phone. The Green Lake County Sheriff’s Office began a search around 5:32 p.m., focusing on Borgwardt’s last known location at Green Lake. Deputies soon located his vehicle and trailer parked near Dodge Memorial Park. About an hour later, authorities found a capsized kayak in the western part of the lake, where the water is approximately 220 feet deep. They discovered the life jacket still attached to the kayak, and volunteers joined deputies in the search for Borgwardt. Twenty-four hours into the search, crews deployed a drone and boats to perform a grid search of the lake. As efforts continued, Sheriff Mark Podoll announced that they were focusing on the lake’s deepest areas, covering hundreds of acres with the assistance of Bruce’s Legacy, a nonprofit specializing in search and recovery. The sheriff indicated they were now searching for a body, believing Borgwardt drowned in the lake. Three cadaver dogs and a dive team were brought in to assist with recovery efforts. Sheriff Podoll and his team then shifted their focus to reexamine the investigation from the beginning. They soon discovered that Canadian law enforcement had run Borgwardt’s name on August 13. Although Borgwardt’s passport was initially found at his home, investigators learned he had been issued a new passport on May 22 after reporting the original one lost. Borgwardt’s wife, Emily, provided his laptop for investigation. A digital forensic analysis revealed that Borgwardt had replaced the hard drive and cleared all browser history the day he disappeared. Investigators believe he is now in Europe. Further findings showed Borgwardt transferred funds to a foreign bank, changed his email address, and had been communicating with a woman from Uzbekistan before his disappearance. The investigation also revealed that he had taken out a $375,000 life insurance policy seven months before vanishing and had purchased airline cards. Sheriff Podoll stated, after all they had uncovered, that Borgwardt is “not in our lake.” Joining Nancy Grace today:  Gregory Morse - Partner at the law firm of King Morse, PLLC.

Police arrested Pastor John-Paul Miller on assault charges unrelated to his wife’s suicide. Protesters seeking “Justice for Mica” have been stationed outside Miller’s Solid Rock Church for weeks, and their heckling has apparently affected Miller. When a woman among the protesters called out, “Here, kitty, kitty...” as Miller walked by, Miller allegedly approached her, leaned close, and slapped her baseball cap twice before walking away. Miller now faces third-degree assault and battery charges. Miller’s attorney, Russel Long, called the arrest “outrageous” and claimed that the women recording Miller make taunting comments to bait and provoke him. Long argued that the city of Myrtle Beach has failed to protect Miller and Solid Rock Church by allowing “protesters” to stalk and harass Miller and his congregants, effectively “killing the church.” He expressed concern that Miller’s arrest will only give protesters more motivation and momentum.

The jury took two minutes from entering the courtroom to announce the verdict: Richard Allen, guilty on all charges. Allen was convicted of felony murder for Abby Williams and Libby German, as well as for knowingly and intentionally killing both girls. Judge Gull maintained order in the courtroom, where there were no outbursts, but outside on the streets of Delphi, shouts of "Guilty on all charges" echoed. As Kathy Allen, Richard Allen's wife, left the courthouse, she was heard saying, "This isn't over at all." The jury, composed of seven women and five men, heard 17 days of testimony, including dozens of witnesses, disturbing jailhouse videos of Richard Allen, and photos of Abby and Libby as they were found at the crime scene. They deliberated for 19 hours over parts of four days to reach a unanimous verdict. Richard Allen was found guilty of four counts: two counts of felony murder and two counts of knowingly and intentionally killing Abby Williams and Libby German.

Elisa Lam embarks on a solo trip to California. Despite her parents' protests, she reassures them with a promise to check in daily by phone. She posts on her Tumblr blog, "I have arrived in LaLa Land." She checks into the Cecil Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, planning to stay in her shared hostel-style suite for four days and three nights. Elisa is scheduled to check out of the Cecil Hotel on January 31, but she never does. Her parents grow concerned when Elisa misses her promised daily check-ins. They contact the LAPD, and a search begins for the young university student. Dogs search her room and the hotel rooftop, but there is no sign of Elisa. Two weeks pass with no trace of Elisa Lam. The LAPD releases the last known video footage of her, hoping it will provide new leads. The video shows Elisa pressing multiple elevator buttons, gesturing to someone off-camera, and repeatedly peering down the hallway before retreating into a corner of the elevator. Nineteen days after Elisa Lam’s disappearance, law enforcement still has not found her. Meanwhile, guests at the Cecil Hotel report low water pressure and an unusual, dark taste in the water, which has taken on a muddy, blackish color. A maintenance worker checks the rooftop water tanks and finds one of the four 1,000-gallon tanks open, with Elisa’s body floating face-up inside.  Joining Nancy Grace today:  Kelly Hyman – Trial & Civil Attorney (Miami, FL); TV Legal Analyst; Author: “Build Back Better;” X: @kellyhyman1, TikTok: @kelly.hyman, Instagram: @Kelly_Hyman1  Matthew Mangino – Attorney, Former District Attorney (Lawrence County); Author: “The Executioner’s Toll: The Crimes, Arrests, Trials, Appeals, Last Meals, Final Words and Executions of 46 Persons in the United States;” X: @MatthewTMangino  Caryn L.

It's taken seven years, but the families of Abby Williams and Libby German sat in a courtroom today and heard Richard Allen declared guilty by a 12-person jury.  Allen was convicted on all four charges, two counts of murder and two counts of murder while kidnapping the girls. The jury listened to nearly three weeks of testimony and deliberated a total of 18 hours.  The bodies of teen girls were found near the Monon High Bridge in February 2017, in Delphi. Allen, a Delphi resident and local pharmacy tech was arrested five years after the murders.   Searchers found the two girls dead in a wooded area near the Monon High Bridge. Libby was unclothed and bloodied. Both girls had their throats slit. Allen, who confessed at least 60 times,  showed no emotion or reaction as the verdict was read. He was then cuffed and taken from the courtroom.  Allen’s wife, Kathy Allen, said “this isn’t over at all”  to 13 News as she left the courtroom. Sentencing will be at 9am ET on December 20.
