Just when you thought the Manti Te'o story could not get any weirder, another wrinkle was adding to this fiasco.
In an interview today with the Honolulu Star Advertiser, it was reported that the women who pretended to be Lennay Kekua tried to call Manti a second time after she "died."
The first call on December 6th was used to admit to Manti that she was not in fact dead and that she wanted to jump start their relationship again.
Still think Manti Te'o is a liar? Chat Sports has all of the latest Manti Te'o news and rumors!
This new second call was used to tell Te'o that she (the fake girlfriend) had to fake her death so that she could avoid drug dealers. To that Te'o finally proved he is not as ignorant as we all think he is, and asked her for a time stamped photo to prove that this is not another scam. The girl did send him a picture, but thankfully Te'o did not buy it and admitted that he was duped all along.
Something tells me though that this story is far from over. It still feels like there are several holes missing in this story that obfuscate the whole picture of what happened here.
We still want to know many more things before we can truly lay this story to rest.
