"KISS AND KILL KILLER CRIES ON STAND, INSULIN NURSE WANTS BOND & FAKE DROWNING DAD'S SICK DETAILS"

"KISS AND KILL KILLER CRIES ON STAND, INSULIN NURSE WANTS BOND & FAKE DROWNING DAD'S SICK DETAILS"

Reid Carter examines killers who cry on cue. Samantha Krebs took the stand in her Kiss and Kill trial, sobbing about self-defense while her handwritten murder plan sat in evidence. Utah nurse Heather Pressdee, who killed her friend with insulin for $10,000 insurance money, wants out on bond because apparently murdering patients is a bondable offense. And new details emerge about Ryan Borgwardt's fake drowning - including the Eastern European mistress and abandoned children who had a funeral for their living father. Thursday proves tears in court are just another performance when the evidence says you're guilty.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.480
Caalaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter. Thursday, September eleventh,

2
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:18.239
twenty twenty five, twenty four years ago. Today America changed forever.

3
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.839
We remember those we lost, we honor their memory, and

4
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.280
we continue forward because that's what they would want. Today

5
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:30.199
on Celebrity Trials, Samantha Krebs took the stand in her

6
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.560
kiss and Kill murder trial and delivered an Oscar worthy

7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.039
performance of tears and lies while her handwritten murder plans

8
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.560
sat in evidence box. Number one, a Utah nurse who

9
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:43.679
killed her friend with insulin for insurance money wants out

10
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.719
on bond because apparently being a medical serial killer shouldn't

11
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:49.880
mean you have to wait in jail for trial. And

12
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.759
remember the Wisconsin kayaker who faked his death to run

13
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:56.280
off with his mistress. New details just emerged and they're

14
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.200
somehow worse than we thought. His kids had a funeral

15
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.119
for their life living father. All that and more on

16
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:11.159
today's Celebrity Trials. Let's start in Kenosha, where Samantha Krebs

17
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.519
spent two days on the stand trying to convince a

18
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:17.480
jury that her detailed, handwritten murder plan was actually just

19
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.640
creative writing. Day four of the trial. Tuesday, Krebs takes

20
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:25.959
the stand in her own defense. She's wearing a conservative

21
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.920
black dress, hair pulled back, tissues already in hand. The

22
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.560
transformation from accused killer to victim begins. Defense attorney Michael

23
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.519
Torres starts with softball questions. Tell us about your childhood,

24
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:43.560
your relationship with Marcus, when did things change? And Crebs

25
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.560
delivers tears, streaming, voice breaking. She paints a picture of

26
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.079
escalating abuse that no one else saw, no one else reported,

27
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.959
no one else witnessed. Marcus wasn't always violent, she testified.

28
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.599
At first he was wonderful, but when he drank, he

29
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:06.359
became a different person, a monster. She described alleged incidents

30
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:12.960
being pushed downstairs, being choked during arguments, being threatened with knives,

31
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:18.240
all conveniently never reported, never photographed, never witnessed. But then

32
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.400
prosecutor Jennifer Walsh got her turn, and the tears dried

33
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:26.000
up real quick. Walsh started with the notes, those damning

34
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:29.120
handwritten notes that laid out the murder step by step,

35
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.599
Miss Krebs, Is this your handwriting? Yes? Did you write

36
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.400
kiss him first so he lets his guard down? Yes?

37
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.919
But did you write call nine one one after ten minutes,

38
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:44.240
so he can't be saved. It was fantasy, yes or no?

39
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.280
Did you write those words yes? Walsh then introduced Kreb's

40
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.240
journal entries. Remember, the defense claimed these notes were fantasy

41
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.919
writing a coping mechanism, but the journal told a different story.

42
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.800
Entry from one week before the murder. Soon, I'll be

43
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.360
free and rich. Just need the courage to follow through.

44
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.680
Entry from three days before. Practiced with the knife today,

45
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:15.080
know exactly where to aim entry from the day before Tomorrow.

46
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.520
Everything changes tomorrow, I become who I meant to be.

47
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:24.520
That's not fantasy. That's planning, that's premeditation. That's murder in

48
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.039
the first degree. Crebs tried to explain, I was writing

49
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:33.599
about leaving him, about being free from abuse, not about killing.

50
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.479
Walsh's response was devastating. Then why did Marcus Chen have

51
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.639
stab wounds in his back? How do you stab someone

52
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:45.879
in the back in self defense? Krebs claimed Chen had

53
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.159
turned away after attacking her, that she struck out in fear,

54
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:54.159
but the medical examiner had already testified the wounds showed

55
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:59.759
Chen was trying to get away running, not attacking. Day five,

56
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.560
yesterday brought more destruction of Kreb's story. Walsh introduced text

57
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.360
messages between Krebs and her friend Amanda lou from the

58
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.639
day of the murder. Krebs, tonight's the night, LIU the

59
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.280
night for what Krebs, You'll see on the news tomorrow.

60
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.240
When confronted with this text, Krebs claimed she meant she

61
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.199
was going to leave Chen, that it would be dramatic

62
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:26.639
enough to make the news. Really, a breakup makes the news.

63
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.639
But the most damaging testimony came when Walsh asked about

64
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:35.600
the insurance policy. MS. Krebs, are you the beneficiary of

65
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.600
Marcus Chen's life insurance? Yes? How much? Five hundred thousand dollars?

66
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.040
When did he make you the beneficiary? Six months ago?

67
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.959
When did you write your first note about killing him? Silence,

68
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:54.279
Miss Krebs. Five months ago. One month after becoming the beneficiary,

69
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.839
she started planning his murder. Walsh also destroyed the abuse claims,

70
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:03.839
no medical recordds, no police reports, no photos, no witnesses.

71
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.879
Chen's friends testified he was gentle, never violent. His ex

72
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.959
girlfriend said he was the kindest man she'd known. But

73
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:15.319
here's what really sealed it for me. Walsh asked Crebs

74
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.160
to demonstrate how Chen allegedly attacked her Krebs stood up,

75
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.199
showed some half hearted pushing motions, And where were the

76
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.480
defensive wounds on your arms from this attack? I there

77
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.800
weren't any Where were the bruises from being pushed? They

78
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:33.120
didn't bruise. Where were the marks from being choked? They

79
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:38.240
faded everything conveniently left no evidence. Krebs cried through redirect

80
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.560
her attorney tried to rehabilitate her, talking about battered woman syndrome,

81
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.639
about hidden abuse, about fear. But the jury saw the notes,

82
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:50.399
saw the journal, saw the insurance policy, saw the text

83
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.759
saying tonight's the night. During closing arguments yesterday afternoon, Walsh

84
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.439
was brilliant. The defendant wants you to believe she's a victim.

85
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.519
But victims don't write instruction manuals for murder. Victims don't

86
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:06.240
time nine one one calls to insure death, victims don't

87
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.800
stab people in the back while they're running away, and

88
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.680
victims don't collect half million dollar insurance policies. The defense's

89
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.879
closing was desperate. Torres argued the notes were therapeutic, writing

90
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:22.040
that the abuse was real but hidden, that Krebs snapped

91
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.600
after years of torment, But how do you explain call

92
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.399
nine one one after ten minutes, so he can't be saved.

93
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:35.160
That's not snapping, that's calculating. The jury began deliberations yesterday

94
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:37.959
at four pm. They asked to see the notes again,

95
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.240
Ask to hear the nine one one call again, Ask

96
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.040
to review the insurance documents. My prediction guilty of first

97
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:50.439
degree intentional homicide. The notes are too damning, the planning

98
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.920
too obvious, the tears too convenient. Marcus Chen was thirty one.

99
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.600
He was planning to leave Krebs. His friend David Park

100
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.639
testified to that he was scared of her. He was

101
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.959
right to be scared. Now Krebs sits in court crying

102
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.120
about being a victim, while the real victim is in

103
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.879
a cemetery. She wrote her own conviction in her own handwriting,

104
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:20.319
and no amount of tears can wash that away. Now

105
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.000
to Utah, where a nurse named Heather Presty has been

106
00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:26.040
charged with murdering her friend with insulin for insurance money.

107
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:30.000
Sound familiar, it should. This is the third insulin murder

108
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.399
we've covered this month. Presty, thirty eight, worked as a

109
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:39.279
registered nurse at Ogden Regional Medical Center. Her victim, Jennifer Holloman,

110
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.480
forty seven, her supposed best friend of fifteen years. Here's

111
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:49.279
how this nightmare unfolded. June twenty twenty four, Jennifer Holloman

112
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.360
goes to Presty's house for what she thought was a

113
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.040
vitamin B twelve injection. Presty was always offering medical help

114
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.759
to friends, free injections, IV fluids for hangovers, medical advice.

115
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:03.480
Everyone thought she was so generous, But instead of B twelve,

116
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:08.240
Presty injected Holliman with a massive dose of insulin. Holloman

117
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:12.279
wasn't diabetic, had no reason to have insulin in her system.

118
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:18.639
Within minutes, Holloman started feeling sick, dizzy, confused, classic signs

119
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:23.600
of severe hypoglycemia. Presty played concerned friend, drove her to

120
00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:27.439
the hospital where Presty worked. At the er, Presty told

121
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:31.120
staff Holloman was diabetic and must have taken too much insulin.

122
00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:36.080
The staff, trusting their colleague, treated for insulin overdose, but

123
00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:40.440
Holloman kept insisting she wasn't diabetic. The staff found this concerning.

124
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.840
Blood tests, confirmed insulin levels through the roof, no history

125
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.639
of diabetes, no prescription for insulin. Something was very wrong.

126
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:57.200
Holloman survived barely spent three days in the ICU, permanent

127
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.720
neurological damage from the hypoglycemia. She'll never be the same.

128
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:06.240
When investigators started digging, they found something interesting. Press D

129
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:10.120
was the beneficiary of a ten thousand dollars life insurance

130
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:14.120
policy on Hollyman. Ten thousand dollars. She tried to murder

131
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:17.279
her best friend for ten thousand dollars. But wait, it

132
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:22.840
gets worse. Investigators checked the hospital's insulin inventory, multiple vials

133
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.960
missing from the ICU where prest worked. She'd been stealing

134
00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.240
insulin for months. They also found searches on her phone

135
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:35.000
how much insulin kills a person, insulin overdose death time,

136
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.600
can insulin be traced in autopsy? Then they found something

137
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.480
truly terrifying. Prestd had life insurance policies on three other friends,

138
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:48.799
small amounts five thousand dollars to fifteen thousand dollars, but

139
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.240
she was beneficiary on all of them. One of those friends,

140
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.639
Michael Torres, died in January twenty twenty four from what

141
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.720
was ruled natural causes. He was fifty two, seemed healthy,

142
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.200
suddenly died from orgon failure. Guess who was with him

143
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.879
when he got sick? Guess who drove him to the hospital.

144
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.360
Guess who collected seven five hundred dollars when he died.

145
00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:14.600
They're exhuming his body now testing for insulin. This week,

146
00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:18.720
Presty's attorney filed for bond, claimed she's not a flight risk,

147
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:21.720
not a danger to the community, just a nurse who

148
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:26.559
allegedly murdered people with stolen insulin for insurance money. Prosecutor

149
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:31.159
Rachel Martinez opposed bond vigorously. The defendant is a medical

150
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.440
professional who used her training and access to murder for money.

151
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.519
Every friend, every patient, every person who trusts her is

152
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:42.080
in danger. The judge hasn't ruled yet, but here's what

153
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.759
terrifies me. Presty worked as a nurse for twelve years,

154
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.399
had access to countless patients. How many mysterious deaths were

155
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:54.600
actually insolin murders. The hospital is reviewing every death during

156
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:59.360
her shifts, every patient who crashed unexpectedly, every code blue

157
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:03.559
that didn't make sense. Jennifer Holloman gave a victim impact

158
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.679
statement via video from her hospital bed. She was my

159
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.639
best friend. I trusted her with my life. She tried

160
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.120
to take it for money, not even a lot of money.

161
00:11:13.759 --> 00:11:17.960
She valued our friendship at ten thousand dollars. Think about that,

162
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:22.960
fifteen years of friendship, birthday's, holidays, secret shared worth less

163
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.440
than a used car. To Heather Presty. This is now

164
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:30.960
the third insulin murder we've covered. Jesse Kurtchewsky killed her

165
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.159
grandmother with insulin, the Wisconsin grandmother we covered last week. Now,

166
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:39.159
Heather Presty, insulin is becoming the poison of choice. It's

167
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:42.240
accessible if you work in healthcare. It's deadly if you're

168
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.159
not diabetic, and it used to be hard to detect.

169
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.399
But here's the thing, it's not hard to detect anymore.

170
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.240
Modern forensics can find it. These killers think they're smart

171
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:55.960
using medical methods. They're not. They're just leaving medical evidence.

172
00:11:56.279 --> 00:12:00.600
Presty faces first degree murder charges for Michael Torres, attempted

173
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:04.120
murder for Jennifer Holloman, and theft charges for the insulin.

174
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.879
If convicted, she's looking at life, but she wants out

175
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.080
on bond, wants to go home, probably wants to check

176
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.960
on those other insurance policies. My prediction, no bond. You

177
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.559
don't let alleged medical serial killers walk free. Every person

178
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.360
she knows is potentially worth more dead than alive. To

179
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:27.000
her ten thousand dollars. That's what Jennifer Holloman's life was

180
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:29.720
worth to her best friend, the price of a used

181
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:33.240
Honda Civic, the cost of friendship. In twenty twenty five,

182
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:37.960
we'll be right back with new details about the Wisconsin

183
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:41.639
father who faked his death, including the Eastern European mistress

184
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:57.919
and the funeral his living body didn't attend. Remember Ryan Borgwart,

185
00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:01.799
the Wisconsin Kia who faked his drowning to run off

186
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.360
with an Eastern European woman. We covered his pathetic six

187
00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:08.879
month sentence last week. Well, new details just emerged from

188
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:13.200
the investigation files, and they're somehow worse than we imagined. First,

189
00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.519
let's talk about the funeral his children attended for their

190
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:21.759
living father. August twenty eighth, twenty twenty four, sixteen days

191
00:13:21.799 --> 00:13:25.759
after Borgwart faked his death, his wife Emily, and their

192
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:30.519
three children, ages eight, ten, and thirteen, held a memorial service.

193
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:35.480
The kids wrote letters to Daddy, drew pictures. The eight

194
00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:38.360
year old left his favorite toy at the memorial, wanting

195
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:43.279
Daddy to have it in heaven. Borgwart was in Eastern Europe, alive,

196
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.360
probably in bed with his mistress, while his children sobbed

197
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:51.919
at his memorial. The investigation revealed Borgwart had been planning

198
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:55.519
this for two years, two years of looking his children

199
00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:57.879
in the eyes every morning, knowing he was going to

200
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.799
fake his death and abandon them. Here's what he did.

201
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.240
Opened a foreign bank account and transferred three hundred seventy

202
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.000
five thousand dollars, bought a second passport, purchased a one

203
00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:11.039
way ticket to Eastern Europe, increased his life insurance to

204
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:15.519
seven hundred thousand dollars. But the cruelest detail. He coached

205
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.279
his kid's little league team the week before he disappeared,

206
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:21.080
told them he'd see them at the next game, hugged

207
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.399
them goodbye, knowing it was the last time. The mistress

208
00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:28.360
has been identified as Marta Kowalski, thirty three from Poland.

209
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:32.279
They met online in twenty twenty two. She thought he

210
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.639
was divorced. He told her his wife had died of cancer,

211
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:39.399
even lied to his mistress about being a widower. The

212
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:42.679
investigation found their messages, I can't wait to start our

213
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:47.440
new life soon. We'll be together forever. Just a few

214
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:53.399
more months of pretending, pretending while his wife planned family vacations,

215
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:57.720
while his kids made Father's Day cards, while coaching Little League.

216
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:02.000
Here's the timeline of his fake death. Five am launches

217
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.440
kayak at Green Lake. Five thirty Am abandons kayak, leaves

218
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:10.320
phone behind. Six AM gets a hidden car he'd stash

219
00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:15.639
days earlier. Eight am Emily reports him missing. Ten AM

220
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.399
he's on a bus to Chicago. Eight pm, flying to

221
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:23.120
Eastern Europe. His family is being told he's presumed drowned.

222
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:26.679
The search for his body costs thirty five thousand dollars.

223
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:31.639
Divers spent weeks in dangerous conditions, volunteers took time off work.

224
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.320
His community raised money for his family, all while he

225
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.480
was setting up house with Marda in Warsaw. But here's

226
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.200
the sick part revealed in the new documents. He was

227
00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:45.080
monitoring the search online, reading articles about his grieving family,

228
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.200
watching videos of search efforts, following the GoFundMe for his

229
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:51.879
widow and children. He knew his eight year old had

230
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.840
stopped eating, knew his thirteen year old was in therapy,

231
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.399
knew his wife was having panic attacks, and he stayed dead.

232
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.840
Brought him back not guilt, not love for his children,

233
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.600
but the FBI closing in. They traced his passport, found

234
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:12.600
the bank transfers identified Marta, he came back to avoid

235
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:16.559
federal charges. At his sentencing last week, he cried and

236
00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.960
said he made a terrible mistake. A mistake two years

237
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:24.039
of planning isn't a mistake, it's calculated cruelty. His wife, Emily,

238
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:27.919
filed for divorce and full custody. In her filing, she wrote,

239
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:32.039
he held a funeral for himself while alive. He let

240
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:35.440
our children grieve a living parent. This is a level

241
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:40.240
of cruelty. I cannot comprehend. The kids are in intensive therapy.

242
00:16:40.559 --> 00:16:43.000
The eight year old still asks if daddy is really

243
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.519
alive or if this is a trick. The ten year

244
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.440
old won't talk about him. The thirteen year old wrote

245
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.519
a letter to the judge saying, I don't have a

246
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:54.240
father anymore. He died the day he chose to leave us.

247
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:59.519
Six months in jail, that's all he got. His children

248
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:02.480
will be in therapy for years, and he'll be out

249
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:07.839
by spring. Marta Kowalski, the mistress. She claims she didn't

250
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.480
know he was married with kids, but investigators found messages

251
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:16.000
where he mentioned complications with his situation that she never questioned.

252
00:17:16.599 --> 00:17:19.599
Ryan Borgwart destroyed four lives for a fantasy with a

253
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:22.160
woman he'd never met in person until he faked his death.

254
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:26.000
His children attended his funeral, had nightmares about him drowning,

255
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.599
blame themselves for not saying I love you more, all

256
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.559
while Daddy was alive in Poland, starting his new life

257
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:37.480
six months for torture that will last his children's lifetimes.

258
00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.200
That's celebrity trials for Thursday, September eleventh. Today we saw

259
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.519
three different kinds of calculated cruelty. Samantha Krebs wrote a

260
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.599
murder manual, then cried about self defense. Heather Presty killed

261
00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:57.240
for insurance money worth less than a used car. Ryan

262
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:01.720
Borgwart attended his own funeral through his children's tears. Tomorrow

263
00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:04.359
we'll have verdict watch in the Kiss and Kill trial,

264
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.440
updates on the boot fetish murder, and whatever fresh horror

265
00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:14.599
emerges overnight. I'm Reed Carter. On this September eleventh, we

266
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.640
remember those lost twenty four years ago. We also remember

267
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.880
that evil doesn't always come from foreign terrorists. Sometimes it

268
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.240
comes from the person you share a bed with, the

269
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.440
friend offering medical help, or the father coaching your little

270
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:31.400
league team. The call isn't coming from inside the house.

271
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.680
It's coming from the person you trust most. See you tomorrow.
