1. The sidewalk in front of St. Joan of Arc Chapel on the campus of Marquette University displays messages of remembrance this afternoon for the two student athletes who were killed in a crash last week. A class started the notes. Now the MU community is invited to join. Meanwhile, the woman accused of hitting and killing 20-year-old Noah Snyder and 19-year-old Scott Michaud has just been charged.

She was previously convicted of OWI in 2003. Brunner is sitting in the Milwaukee County Jail Right now. Her bond is 150-thousand dollars.
2. Operation Midway Blitz is underway! It's a 30-day operation in the Chicagoland area targeting suspected gang members. Federal immigration authorities with ICE are leading the enforcement operation. The Department of Homeland Security stated the operation was launched in honor of Katie Abraham, a 20-year-old killed in a hit-and-run crash in January 2025 by an undocumented immigrant. The operation has been met with significant backlash and protests from local officials, immigrant advocates, and community leaders.
3. For the first time in his own words, we're hearing from the Wisconsin man who faked his own death and left the country. 46-year-old Ryan Borgwardt gained national attention last year, when he disappeared after a kayaking trip on Green Lake. After weeks of searching that lake, investigators later uncovered, Borgwardt was actually alive. He faked his own death, left his family, and went to Eastern Europe to see a woman he met online. While police interrogated Borgwardt, he admitted that he questioned himself along the way. Borgwardt is since divorced and now living in Appleton. He has three kids and just turned 46 yesterday. He pleaded no contest last month to a charge of obstructing an officer. The judge sentenced him to 89 days in jail. According to the Green Lake County Correctional Facility, Borgwardt has not reported yet. He has 60 days from sentencing to do so. He also has to pay 30-thousand dollars in restitution.
