GREEN LAKE COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Wisconsin man who faked his death in August of 2024 to run away overseas has completed his sentence. 

Records show Ryan Borgwardt is no longer behind bars. 

He was charged with obstruction and sentenced to 89 days in jail, the amount of time he misled police after faking a drowning and flying to the country of Georgia to be with a woman he met online. 

Borgwardt reportedly did extensive planning to disappear, transferring money overseas, taking out a life insurance policy and getting another passport -- even looking up how to successfully disappear and how to fake a drowning.

For 54 days, volunteers and professionals searched the lake by water, air, and land. 

Nearly two months later, investigators discovered his passport had been checked at the Canadian border just two days after his supposed drowning. 

In December of 2024, the sheriff's department convinced Borgwardt to return to Wisconsin and take accountability for his actions.
