Ryan Borgwardt, a married father of three, has been missing since August after leaving for a relaxing fishing trip on Green Lake, about an hour north of his home in Watertown, Wisconsin. Investigators now suspect the experienced kayaker faked his own death and fled to Europe via Canada.

When a 45-year-old man failed to return home from a kayak outing on a lake, authorities thought he had drowned. Eventually, a different story emerged.
