Ryan Borgwardt, a Wisconsin man, staged his own drowning in August and fled to Eastern Europe, triggering an extensive international search.
The investigation revealed that Borgwardt moved money into a foreign bank account and communicated with a woman in Uzbekistan before fleeing.
Sheriff Podoll disclosed that Borgwardt had taken out a $375,000 life insurance policy, suggesting a financial motive behind his disappearance.
Borgwardt's return from an undisclosed country ended a months-long saga involving a search operation that initially seemed to be a tragic drowning.
