After vanishing for nearly three months and leaving his family to believe he had drowned, Wisconsin father Ryan Borgwardt has now been sentenced for faking his own death in an elaborate scheme to start a new life overseas. He disappeared for 89 days—and now he’ll spend that same amount of time behind bars. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down how investigators uncovered the ruse and what the judge ultimately decided.
