On August 11th, 2024, Ryan Borgwardt went kayaking on Big Green Lake in Wisconsin… and never came back.

His overturned kayak was found drifting in the water, along with his belongings scattered across the surface. In a lake nearly 200 feet deep, investigators feared he had drowned.

For 58 days, search teams combed the lake looking for answers.

But as the investigation unfolded, something didn’t sit right. In this episode of Macabre Mondays, we break down the timeline, the search, and the case that turned out to be far more complicated than it first appeared.
