Even doing this, with the help of at least two others as reported, for a few months is exhausting. I can understand getting suckered for a couple weeks or so. But it went beyond a seemingly reasonable length of time to be fooled.

I read the blog post on the South Carolina baseball player who met some girl which turned out to be a hoax and the relationship (if you can even call it that) lasted over the span of a several years.

From what I can gather from Te'o's words, the hoax began and was spread out. Probably not much talking during the first year or two, then when the "accident" happened, that's when Ronaiah did work. Seems to me he could have just trolled hard for several months, then killed her off. Doesn't seem too far-fetched.
