    He's awful. How heartbreaking for his wife and kids.

    No, the biggest gift he could give his children is to stay as far away from them as possible.

    Our choices have consequences.. If this guy did what has been claimed, as a wife, as a child... I'd NEVER speak to him again! There are some things that are unforgiveable. Planning & faking your death, abandoning & devastating your entire family.. is one of 'em imho!

      And as a woman, I would never get involved with a man who would abandon his family. In his wife’s shoes, this is grounds for a divorce. Who would want to be in a marriage where your spouse couldn’t care less about you? My father abandoned my mother and his children. Later in life he wanted to see me again. I had nothing for him. My mother never bad mouthed him to us nor did she forbid us from seeing him. I figured out real quick that he not only abandoned her but us too. I was only seven the last time I saw him. I have no regrets. I had an awesome step dad.

    How awful for his family. Not only did he fake his death and put them through his loss, he then gets found out and humiliates his wife on a global level. What an absolute loser. If the wife is smart she should file for divorce immediately. She deserves full custody....he abandoned them, He doesn't deserve Christmas with his kids. He is a selfish coward of the highest order. Wanted what he wanted and he didn't care about who he hurt. I hope she takes him to the cleaners in the divorce.

    I feel so hurt, angry, and sad for his wife and their kids. The amount of pain and grief they must be suffering because that person chose to be a coward, chose to abandon his family for a new life. What type of person would fake their own death versus get a divorce? A narcissist. Karma will and is taking care of his new life.
    Let the law do its part. He faked his death and committed life insurance fraud. That IS a crime.

    If I was Ryan's wife, I would divorce him and change the locks on the front door. When I get a chance, I would move and disappear like he did. Ryan doesn't want to come back so why stay married.
    I can't imagine how this wife is going to their children that their father disappeared and doesn't want to come back.

      Didn’t someone say he bought $370,000 in a life insurance policy? If he died and that woman he was in contact with in Eastern Europe had the money wired to her or he collected the money for that reason, then that’s a crime cause he’s not actually dead. You can’t collect a life insurance payment unless the holder actually dies

      Insurance fraud. But he shouldn't come back. He may as well start a new life there because there is nothing but chaos awaiting him. There is no warm and fuzzy Christmas coming up. I don't think he can be extradited from where he is.
