The Wisconsin husband and father of three accused of hatching an elaborate plan to fake his death before he turned up with a woman in Eastern Europe returned to US soil and was arrested, authorities said Wednesday. Ryan Borgwardt, handcuffed and wearing an orange jumpsuit, appeared Wednesday afternoon before a Green Lake County judge and was charged with obstruction of an officer.

Once he was at that post-Paris destination, Borgwardt emailed “an adult female” who picked him up, and “they stayed at the hotel for a couple of days,” prosecutors said. While the court document didn’t explicitly say where Borgwardt, who had $US5500 cash on him, ended up, prosecutors strongly suggested he was in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
