Sheriff Mark Podoll stated, "Great news, we know that he's alive and well, the bad news is we do not know where Ryan exactly is and he has not yet decided to return home." This highlights the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Ryan Borgwardt's situation, despite the positive news of his well-being.
Borgwardt, through a proof-of-life video, confirmed his safety, stating, "I am safe, secure [with] no problem." This statement emphasizes that he is not in immediate danger, yet raises questions about his choice to remain away.
Podoll mentioned, "He just had personal matters going on and he felt this was the right thing to do," indicating that Borgwardt's motives were personal rather than criminal. This insight offers a deeper understanding of the complexities behind his actions.
The sheriff noted, "Green Lake County will seek restitution, noting that his office spent between $35,000 and $40,000 in Borgwardt's search," which points to the financial implications of the extensive, three-month search effort.
