In this true crime story of Love and Murder: Heartbreak to Homicide, host Ky tells you about the bizarre case of Ryan Borgwardt, a 35-year-old father from Wisconsin who disappeared during a solo kayaking trip. Initially presumed drowned after his kayak was found capsized, the investigation took a shocking turn when authorities uncovered evidence suggesting Ryan had orchestrated his own disappearance.

As Ky unravels the details, listeners learn about Ryan's suspicious financial activities, including a substantial transfer to a foreign bank account and the acquisition of a life insurance policy just days before his vanishing act. The episode explores the meticulous planning behind his staged death, from the disappearance of his belongings to his escape route that led him to Uzbekistan.

Join Ky as she navigates through the twists and turns of this case, raising questions about the motives behind Ryan's actions and the impact on his family, particularly his three children left behind.
