IMO, It doesn't really make any sense to kill her off if your whole goal was only to cover up that you're gay (which is a big assumption regardless). If he thought the plan would fail, you just say things didn't work out with the girl and no one bothers to look at this, it never becomes a story. College kids not being able to make a long distance relationship work isn't shocking and isn't a story. Having your girlfriend die is something that people are going to jump all over.Yeah, this is what I was thinking. Some people make up a girlfriend because they think it makes them cooler, brings them some kind of social legitimacy to have a girlfriend.
Te'o is a decorated linebacker for Notre Dame. What reasons would he have to make something up to fit in??? The kid is gay, and created the fictional long distance girlfriend to cover it up. When he realized the story could eventually fail, he "killed her off" to cover his tracks. Makes too much sense/
Unfortunately for him, American journalists really have nothing better to do
At first thought, when it comes to the death of the girl...it seems like he either thought this person actually existed (regardless of whether he knew it wasn't a real relationship) and that she actually died. In that case his televised sorrow may or may not be legitimate. Or that he knew noone associated in this died and he embellished for the media. It is the "killing off" of this fantasy person that is so puzzling. I have no idea what to think of his involvement or lack of involvement. No idea.
