He may be a dick for creating a fake story, but the everyone is really just butt-hurt because they blindly believed the story. It took an entire year for someone to piece this puzzle together? That is absolutely mind numbing.

from one Polynesian to another. Can't trust these guys.

I swear to god I saw a seinfeld episode about this . Kramer sold his life to J Peterman and Kramer eventually bought his stories back, but then Peterman put those stories in his book unwillingly so Kramer did the Reality Bus Tour claiming he was "the real Peterman".

So, like, this woman existed and possibly, although I doubt it, met this Reagan Mauia fella and that she was related to this Tuiasosopo guy, who then later on, in on it with Te'o, used her name with fake pictures to concoct this whole hoax of a relationship where she chatted with him on the phone for countless hours and even flew to Hawaii but was never actually "real".

i think i got it... idk.

PS. But i'm really curious. If she was actually real.... did she actually die?
Apparently he got a call from someone who sounded just like her from the same number that he associated with her saying she wasn't dead at the CFB awards weekend

I read that the city the girls funeral was supposedly in doesn't exist either. If that's true, how did nobody catch on to that and make it public?

They said it was in Carson City, California. While Carson City doesn't exist, there is a Carson, California. I'm sure most people just thought of it as a mistake and that's why no one made the connection.

Just saw on ESPN, I guess this entirely different family is claiming the guy accused of playing the hoax on Te'o (Ronaiah Tuiasosopo) actually did it to them before using the same name and the same pictures and he confessed to doing it to them. Guess he really was catfished.
