Missing Dad Who Allegedly Faked His Own Death Is Alive

The missing dad who cops say faked his own death is alive. At a news conference, cops played a "proof of life" video of Ryan Borgwardt who authorities say abandoned his family to hook up with his girlfriend from Uzbekistan. Wisconsin sheriff Mark Podoll says his office is now in near-daily contact with Borgwardt, but it's still a mystery where he's hiding out. Inside Edition's Ann Mercogliano has more.

So it was too much to ask for a divorce and move along?!?! You made your children think you died. This is sociopathic behavior. This is wild.

[SamboBaggins]

I wouldn’t want my dad around if he pulled a stunt like that.

[Schelle-djym]

The best gift for his family this Christmas is to be free of him and his lies.

Those poor children. First you think your dad died then you find out nope, he just didn’t want to be your dad anymore. How do you emotionally recover from that?

[dahalofreeek]

Letting your children think that you died is deeply evil.

He pretty much said, “I’m still here and still don’t want you.”

The sheriff cares more about the family than this man does.

[may-op]

Returning is not the best gift for his kids. Poor family.

[ascension.m]

The abandonment issues for his kids will be unparalleled.

[PhoenixPrime]

Can't imagine the kind of hell he put his family through. What a disgusting coward!

[georgiesimmons]

The sheriff needs to stop pleading.Maybe the best gift is not to have that loser of a father in their lives

[hillb]

I feel sorry for the children. All over social media. Can you imagine the embarrassment for them at school.

[krystal]

I wouldn't want somebody who went through such great lengths to show they didn't want me

[esmeraldatotoro]

They better get this man to pay up child support because he’s a total coward for abandoning his kids like that.

[PS-Straya_M]

Absolute creep .. family please move on from this low life CREEP!

[cgrqjqm]

What a coward. Running from his responsibilities of the family he has created. How sad for his kids.

[krystaldaniels]

I hope his wife and kids find much better.

[issy_b_onair]

What kind of dead beat coward puts his family through that.

No matter how miserable he might've been, you show your face and say I'm moving out. You don't abandon your responsibilities.

[purepsyc]

His family should accept that he doesn't want that life anymore and start healing and creating there own. Waste of a man!

[summerchyld]

Why would the girlfriend want someone who would betray and hurt his own kids like that?
