Family questions Te'o hoaxer's falsetto, says phone GF was a woman

There is no end to the weirdness of the Manti Te'o case: New revelations suggest Te'o really was speaking to a woman in phone calls to his "girlfriend" — not to the guy behind the hoax, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, as Tuiasosopo's lawyer claimed. After Te'o played voicemail messages to Katie Couric and pointed out that it certainly sounded like a woman speaking, members of the Tuiasosopo family told the New York Post that Te'o's phone friend was, in fact, Ronaiah's female cousin, Tino Tuiasosopo. It's been speculated that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo's lawyer lied about his falsetto abilities so Ronaiah could take the rap for the hoax, but nothing further has been said. One happy ending? At least Manti Te'o was talking to a pretty girl. [Source]
