Speaker 1 (00:04):
The Will M.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Woody Podcast.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
A man who faked his own death to get out
of his relationship.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
God, that's an extraordinary length to avoid a tough conversation.

Speaker 4 (00:16):
Yeah, well that's it, and I really that's I think
why he did it. I'll get into that a little
bit later on because they haven't found him.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
A woman told me once she was moving back to America,
and then I saw it at the supermarket two weeks later.

Speaker 3 (00:26):
I remember that hurt. That really, Jill, Jill, if you're
still here, Yeah, you're really with hard App.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Yeah yeah, Well I'm sure she didn't go out onto
a lake in a kayak and then fake drowning.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
So fake, so fake drowning.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
So like, did they have like a body organized to
be found, like a John dor.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
No, you know, he didn't go out there with a
cabbage patch doll and with rocks in it.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
No.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
So basically he goes out kayaking. This guy, Ryan Borgwart
is his name, shocking name anyway. So Borgwart out into
the lake on this kayak. He's in a relationship with
this woman. He's also fallen in love with this woman
from Georgia and Eastern Europe. Happened I met her online
she's all his dreams come true? Okay, was it her idea?

(01:15):
What's that you should fake your death? Well maybe I
don't know. So anyway, so his wife then calls the
police and she's.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Really distressed because she found the kayak or he just
went missing at that point, he.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Was on this kayak. She knows that she woke up
and he wasn't home. She can't get a hold of him.
The cops start the investigation. They can't find obviously, they're
looking for the body. Obviously it's a disappearance. So they're diving.
They've got divers dispatched to the lake, they've got helicopters
into the woods, full scale operations untill eventually one of them.

(01:48):
They start going through his laptop after fifty four days,
so they've been looking for a fifty four four days.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
They didn't find kayak or anything.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
They couldn't find anything. Oh so it's really distressing obviously
for everyone. Anyway, they go to his laptop and they
find well, there's a lot of content from this European.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Woman Georgian of a sexual nature. Potentially would he okay?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Anyway, So they eventually reach out to this woman and
they say, look, can you call us because this is
very important.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Oh yes, he's with her. Oh no, yes, at this stage,
how did he get his How did he get a
flight over there?

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Okay, So essentially he gets out of the kayak. He
then drives a rubber dinghy back to the shore, deflates
the dingy, then carries it with him, disposes of the dinghy,
and then catches a bus to the Canadian border.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Oh my god, whereby.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
He then goes into Canada and then takes a flight
over to Georgia.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Wow. Yes, yes, yes, anyway, I've been well done. Impressive.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, you don't conduct it obviously, terrific what he's done.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
But he's thought it through, hasn't he?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yes, And then and he gets contacted by the cops
and then he's like, I've done a really bad thing.
Oh yeah, goes back home and yeah, he said what
you said before. He said, in the end, it came
down to the fact that I couldn't face this feeling
of failure that I had about my own life and
the fact that I was going to really upset someone.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Oh yeah, I think you're still upset her, a bit
mate by your own death.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Absolutely, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
And also he said the Green Lake County Police Force
on a wild goose chase for fifty four days.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Egg on their face a tiny bit maybe, No, well yeah,
egg on their face.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
But like you know, that's that's taxpayers resources. Anyway, he's
got to pay the cops thirty thousand dollars US. Yeah,
fair enough, just for looking for it.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Fair enough. And it looks like he's going to be
in jail for a little while. Oh there you go. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Anyway, just break up with people, I reckon. That's the
message there, I reckon. If you want to with someone,
just tell them.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
It can be a really hard conversation, so I do
understand that. But I think ghosting people is just not okay,
and faking your own death not a good thing to do. Yeah, anyway,
I would love to know on thirty one six' five
what have you actually managed to? Fake have you managed
to pull off a good? FAKE i embarrassed about this.
One Very they're often quite embarrassing because it means you. Cowardly,

(04:12):
yes it means, exactly you haven't faced up to something
and you've had to fake your way out of, it
which again we'll give points for. That there's cute us
BUT i realized that it's embarrassing to admit.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's, Embarrassing BUT i think it's a good moment to
come clean and to put your hand up and Say
i've done it And i'm a better person. Now AND
i would like to Think i'm in that. Category so,
BASICALLY i was with a girl for four years and
were one of those relationships where we didn't pass wind
in front of each, other wouldn't go to the toilet
number twos around each, other which is that kind of.
Thing and there was a particular occasion where she was
in the. Shower she came out AND i had pass.

(04:42):
WIND i was very sick in the, guts and it
was the smell was, horrible, right really. Bad, okay she came,
Out she's, like what's that? Smell AND i, said, YEP
i can smell it. TOO i think the sewerage has.
Exploded and so THEN i like fully committed to the
bit and the plumber came over and like had to
like search for the sewerage that had Explo, yeah and
then at one point when she was at a new,

(05:02):
SHOT i was.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Able to, say, mate there's nothing.

and get the hell out of.

Speaker 3 (05:07):

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Imagine and it's all born from this coward AROUND i
didn't want to.

Speaker 4 (05:14):

that's called exploiting.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
People is that the definition of that? Word, yeah, okay
and we're against. That Touly.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
DOOLEY a prisoner AT Hmp, bullingdon which is a prison
in THE, Uk will was served some jacket potatoes for.
Lunch right, now the inmate either just as a side or.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Oh, sorry it's just a. Side, yeah giving jacket.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Potatoes i'm not sure sure what the main part of
the meal, was but part of the meal he was
served up was jacket. Potatoes, now the, inmate by the
name Of Nicholas, brock has a very strong issue with jacket.
Potatoes he says it's his least favorite preparation of the.
Potato he would have taken a, chip he would have
taken mashed, potatoes he would have taken roast.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Potatoes he hates jacket.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Stuff like if there's a good cheese going, on or
some bacon or something bit of sour, cream.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Delightful not. Stuffed oh well THEN i don't know stuffing doing,
it then.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
No, stuffing just a just a basic jacket. Potato he
had such a strong issue with the jacket potato that
it is alleged that he said to a prison guard
as gets pretty full, on but he, SAID i will
put a nine milimeter to the back of your.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Head don't THINK i won't do.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
It because he was so angry about the jacket potatoes
that he was that he was served. Up he was
threatening to kill people because you got served jacket. Potatoes
now that's. Outrageous it's probably an unnecessary reaction to being
served jacket, potatoes but it.

Speaker 4 (18:03):
Does suck, when, like you, know like WHEN i was
growing up and mum and dad were both at work
and my older sister would be left like fish cakes
in the fridge and would be, like just give the
boys fish.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Caked damn fish. CAKES i got. Fish no one likes.
FISH i hated fish.

Speaker 4 (18:17):

home till, late And i'd be, like you, know what's
what's for?

Speaker 3 (18:24):

sweet chili sauce in the world.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
You were, drowned yea chili.

Speaker 4 (18:34):
Sauce, Yeah i'd get sufficiently, angry like it's my. Dinner,
yeah sure's nothing worse than a. Crapmeal.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah AND i do agree that there are things in
everyone's lives that make you unnecessarily.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
Angry so for this, guy it's just jacket.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Potatoes he spent his whole life getting unnecessarily angry about jacket.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Potatoes thirteen one oh six five is our.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Number though you don't have to go to the level,
of you, know threatening to kill people might but might think.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
It what makes you unnecessarily? Angry like what in your?
Life do you?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Know just you overreact with anger when it, Happens like
for me, PERSONALLY i JUST i cannot stand. It will
when everyonem with someone usually this is this is my
wife when she, says, hey what do you want for?
Dinner AND i, go, okay here we, go here we, go, yep,

Midchellan, well look at it like there are a few
jobs floating around that it could have picked Up.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Woodrow we are in the midst of what is becoming
an absolute favorite segment of.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Ours someone who shouldn't be.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
Alive we're surprised by by the producers with a story
we don't, know and this person knows that we don't,
know so hopefully we don't seem completely.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
Ignorant But.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
Emma carey is in the studio with this now And,
emma you shouldn't be?

Speaker 9 (35:05):
Alive, yeah definitely should. Not AND i love that you
don't know. This this is going to be great to
get your. Reaction, Okay so this all happened twelve years
ago AND i went, skydiving and have you guys done?

Speaker 11 (35:17):
It first of, all did you like?

Speaker 3 (35:20):
It loved?

Speaker 9 (35:20):
It?

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Love, yeah loved?

Speaker 9 (35:21):
It and as DID. I i absolutely loved. It this
was In, switzerland so we're in the middle of The Swiss.
Alps jumped out of the. Helicopter ally was going great
UNTIL i had never done. It, before SO i had
nothing to compare it.

Speaker 11 (35:33):
To BUT i was.

Speaker 9 (35:34):
Waiting i've seen, videos AND i in the, videos you
see the instructor high fiving you or sometimes giving you
the ropes.

Speaker 11 (35:41):
To steer it around and all that kind of. Thing
but none of that was.

Speaker 9 (35:43):
Happening and we also weren't slowing, down AND i imagined
you would slow down after the first thirty seconds or,
Something AND i, Thought, okay maybe time's just warped while
you're free. Falling maybe it hasn't been that. Long maybe
he's not talking to me because he's. Shy maybe he can't.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
Hear me over the.

Speaker 9 (35:58):
WIND i thought all of the, things SO i didn't
immediately know something was.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
Wrong so, sorry so, sorry, sorry you're you're free?

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Falling were no parachute has popped?

Speaker 11 (36:08):
Up, No BUT i think we're still just in the free.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Fall, sure because you've got nothing to compare it. To, okay, yes, exactly.

Speaker 9 (36:13):
SO i think we're still just in. Freefall and then
the closer when you're when you're really high. Up i'm
not sure if you remember the. Ground it all just
looks the. Same everything's just tiny little dots on the,
ground and it's not until you start to get closer
and everything becomes clear out that you realize just how
fast you're falling because it's in, view and the closer we,
GOT i, thought, okay we, definitely we definitely should be

(36:37):
slowing down by. Now and then the next THING i
saw was something red flashed before my eyes AND i
realized that it was the material of the parachute wrapped
up all in a.

Speaker 11 (36:49):
Ball so it was in front of.

Speaker 9 (36:50):
Us it wasn't above us and, open so the parachute didn't,
open and we just free fell to the.

Speaker 11 (36:58):
Ground what he.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Didn't say anything to you at that, stage so he
didn't know whisper in your ear like.

Speaker 11 (37:04):
We're going to, Die, no.

Speaker 5 (37:07):
Just letting you.

Speaker 9 (37:08):
Know, yeah, no, no, NO i didn't know this at the.
Time but he was actually unconscious for the whole. Fall so,
Yeah so what happened is there's two parachutes inside the instructor's.
Backpack there's the main parachute which comes out when they pull, it,
hopefully and then there's also an emergency, parachute which you shouldn't,

(37:29):
need but it's set to come out at a certain
altitude if for some reason the other parachute isn't.

Speaker 10 (37:35):
Out.

Speaker 9 (37:35):
Yet, yeah and so my instructor pulled our parachute too,
late which meant it started coming out at the exact
same time that the emergency chute was coming out on its.
Own and so because of, that they got old. Tangled
the cords got, tangled and they wrapped around the parachute
so they couldn't. Open but not only, that they actually
wrapped around the instructor's neck and strangled. Him oh, yeah

(37:57):
and so he was unconscious for the whole, fall which
is why he couldn't cut one away or untangle it
or whatever you would normally do in that, situation not
that that normally, happens so it, Was, yeah he wasn't
able to do.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
Anything so then you're falling towards the.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Ground you've seen an unopened parachute in front of, you
so you obviously at this point realize something's very.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Wrong.

Speaker 9 (38:20):
Yeah AND i was just one hundred percent convinced we
were going to, die because if you could feel how
fast we were going and how close the ground, WAS
i just did not think it was possible to.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Survive, wow how how are you still? Here? Emma?

Speaker 9 (38:34):
YEAH i have no, idea no idea how we survived
and people always ask me that how it's physically, possible
AND i have absolutely no. Idea so you hit the, yeah,
yeah we hit the.

Speaker 11 (38:45):
Ground we hit the.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Ground when what before you go?

Speaker 4 (38:48):
On i'm very interested to, know Because i've often thought about.
This i'm sure everyone who's ever been on a plane
has thought about. THIS i always thought that you would
naturally pass out before you hit the ground from, LIKE
i don't, know being overwhelmed fear or.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
Something.

Speaker 9 (39:02):
Yeah, yeah WELL i don't know if that tends to,
happen but, YEAH i didn't get knocked unconscious at, all
either during the fall or the, landing SO i can.
Remember you can remember the whole thing, Perfectly and even
though that was a pretty traumatic thing to be awake
for and not a great memory to, HAVE i feel,
like in, Hindsight i'm actually really really thankful THAT i

(39:24):
can remember, it because it means THAT i will forever
know exactly how it feels to think for certain That
i'm about to, die AND i can remember how SCARED i.
Felt but even more than, THAT i can remember the
strength and the urgency of yearning THAT i felt to,
live and what a waste it was to THINK i
only had ten seconds, left and that seems like a

(39:45):
really obvious thing to, Know but it was until that
MOMENT i didn't realize just how MUCH i wanted to,
live just how MUCH i didn't want to, die and
how much more there WAS i wanted to.

Speaker 11 (39:53):
Do until that.

Speaker 3 (39:54):
MOMENT i hope we can go there and this isn't too.
Traumatic but, so, no it's.

Speaker 11 (39:58):
Fine it's so long. Ago now it's.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Fun you, say you can remember. Everything so was a
chest first on the, ground face.

Speaker 9 (40:06):
FIRST i, Landed, YEAH i landed just on my belly
because my instructor is strapped to my.

Speaker 11 (40:13):
Back he then landed on top of, me.

Speaker 9 (40:17):
Which was quite rude of, him not his. Father but
then we're in the middle of The Swiss. ALPS i
assumed the instructor was dead because he still wasn't, responding but,
thankfully thankfully he. Survived he was still just unconscious at this,
stage BUT i thought it's up to me to go
and find. HELP i tried to stand, up and in

(40:37):
that MOMENT i REALIZED i was completely paralyzed from the waist. Down,
yeah my abs weren't working to roll. OVER i just
tried to wriggle my, toes but nothing.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
Happened oh, Terrifying.

Speaker 11 (40:51):
Yeah very, yeah very. Terrible it was so confusing and.

Speaker 9 (40:54):
Terrifying it just felt so unlike any kind of pain
had experienced before that it felt so all. CONSUMING i remember,
THINKING i wonder if it's possible to die from?

Speaker 3 (41:04):
Pain what did you land? On just?

Speaker 11 (41:09):
Grass just.

Speaker 2 (41:12):
What injuries did you end up with after falling from
a Helic?

Speaker 9 (41:16):
SO i broke my, spine which was the main, thing
and they told ME i had an l one spinal cord,
injury SO i was now a. Paraplegic and then they
told me what? ELSE i broke my, pelvis my, sternum my,
sacrum and a lot of my. Teeth but THAT'S i
was weirdly unscathed in terms of like scratches and.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Limbs so you still? Paralyzed, now AM? I?

Speaker 1 (41:42):
No?

Speaker 3 (41:42):
Yeah did you see ME i swishing?

Speaker 10 (41:48):
Up?

Speaker 11 (41:52):
Yes SO i am so.

Speaker 9 (41:54):
LUCKY i have no idea how again got so lucky
and somehow regained the ability to, walk which they didn't
think would.

Speaker 11 (42:01):
Happen and when people ask me why that, IS i
truly don't.

Speaker 9 (42:07):
Know AND i think some people who maybe don't know
too much about spinal cord injuries have the view of, like,
well it's because you were so determined or so positive
or you worked really hard that you learned to walk.
Again and that's a really lovely, idea AND i know
people mean well by, that but it's just simply not the.

Speaker 3 (42:22):
Case there's so.

Speaker 9 (42:23):
Many people with spinal cord injuries that you know are
the most, positive determined, people and they haven't had that same.

Speaker 11 (42:28):
Chance SO i just got really really lucky with the
way my spinal cord was.

Speaker 9 (42:32):
DAMAGED i didn't heal, completely so a lot of the
muscles in my legs are still a lot weaker than
they used to, be and my calves are still completely,
paralyzed which is, random so that MEANS i can't go
up on my. TOES i still also can't feel from
the waist, down which is.

Speaker 11 (42:49):
Strange so, yeah.

Speaker 9 (42:51):
SO i didn't realize it was possible to have one
without the, other but apparently it is so good.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
The motor neural, pathway but not the. Sensory not the.

Speaker 9 (43:00):
Sensory, Yes and a few days after the, accident AND
i just found out THAT i was never going to walk.
Again before my, ACCIDENT i loved. Running running was my
favorite thing to, do and the morning of the, ACCIDENT
i had told myself THAT i was going to get
up that morning and go for a. RUN i was
just feeling lazy and couldn't be, bothered AND i was

(43:21):
so angry and felt so much, regret and SO i
got out the notes up in my phone and wrote
those five words to, myself AND i, wrote if you,
can you, Must and WHAT i meant specifically was if
you can ever run, again you. MUST i completely forgot
about that note WHEN i found it, again and WHEN
i read, IT i, thought past Young emma was so

(43:42):
wise because even though to this DAY i still can't,
RUN i think those words can apply to so many other.

Speaker 11 (43:48):
Things you can.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
Get emma's Book The Girl Who felt from The sky
By Emma. Carey but em let's talk about This emma's marathon.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
Walk.

Speaker 9 (43:56):
Yeah so earlier this, YEAR i just had this random
moment WHERE I i, thought you don't have to run a.

Speaker 11 (44:02):
Marathon you could walk a, MARATHON i.

Speaker 9 (44:04):
Suppose AND i can't, run BUT i can, Walk so
why CAN'T i still do this dream That i've always.
Had BUT i just really wanted to do it as
a challenge to myself to see how HARD i can
push myself mentally to see how STRONG i can get my,
body but MAINLY i wanted to do. IT i wanted
it to be bigger than me Because i'm so lucky

(44:25):
to have healed and to have the chance to even
walk a, marathon AND i know that so many people
with spinal cord injuries do not have that, Chance and
more than, ANYTHING i want other people to have that
moment THAT i did of taking their first steps. Again
SO i wanted to do it as a fundraising effort
to raise money for The Peri Cross, foundation who were
working towards a cure for spinal cord. Injuries so my

(44:49):
mission is basically to walk.

Speaker 11 (44:50):
For those who.

Speaker 2 (44:51):
Can't what's the main hurdle with walking forty two kilometers for?

Speaker 3 (44:55):
You?

Speaker 9 (44:55):
M so you know how your muscles start to get
fatigued or they start to. BURN i don't feel the,
burn they just kind of.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Stop oh.

Speaker 11 (45:06):
Wow so you never really know when that moment's.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
Coming oh.

Speaker 11 (45:11):
Yeah it's really really.

Speaker 9 (45:13):
Strange LIKE i could be in the gym DOING i don't,
know squats AND i don't have that thing Where i'm,
like oh it's really starting to get hard.

Speaker 11 (45:19):
Now it's just SUDDENLY i GET i, GUESS i guess we're.

Speaker 9 (45:22):
Done, Yeah and SO i think the biggest thing for
me will just be. Endurance because my, muscles even THOUGH
i can't feel, it but they fatigue a lot quicker
than they used. To and BECAUSE i walk with a,
LIMP i get Really i'm quite one lopsided WHEN i,
walk and SO i get really sore, muscles like in

(45:44):
my back and in my hip and everything because it's always.

Speaker 11 (45:47):

endurance and. Strength just my.
