The plot thickens. Apparently a fullback on the Arizona Cardinals said he met his "dead girlfriend":
Reagan Mauia, an Arizona Cardinals fullback, said he believes Kekua existed because he met her in person when he and other Polynesian teammates and Pittsburgh Steelers star Troy Polamaluwent to do charity work in American Samoa in June 2011. “This was before her and Manti,” Mauia said Wednesday evening. “I don’t think Manti was even in the picture, but she and I became good friends. We would talk off and on, just checking up on each other kind of thing. I am close to her family. When she was going through the loss of her father, I was — I offered a comforting shoulder and just someone to bounce her emotions off. That was just from meeting her in Samoa.” Mauia said Tuiasosopo — whom Mauia believes is Kekua’s cousin — introduced the two. After the initial meeting, Mauia said he met her at an “after-party” for all of the athletes involved in the camp. “She was tall,” he said. “Volleyball-type of physique. She was athletic, tall, beautiful. Long hair. Polynesian. She looked like a model … ” He said it is his understanding that Kekua’s mother is operating her Twitter account. He said he’d never met her mother. When told by a reporter that she apparently might not have existed, Mauia said: “No, she is real.”
Talk about your cover up! This is one deep twisted scandal. Like JesseDark said, "Catfish" like. Either Manti Te'o hatched this elaborate plot with several Hawaiian and Samoan athletes/ex athletes along with some officials from Notre Dame to bolster his Heisman campaign, bolster his draft stock, and reap the benefits of his NFL career.
Or he's just in the closet and afraid to come out due to his being Mormon and Notre Dame's profile as a strict Catholic university.
Mormon or not, how could you be in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship with someone you've never met, not even once? Can't wait for the next bit of news.
