Yes. December 6 is when he received the phone call from the dead gf. He informed ND of the call on December 26. They investigated but kept it quiet until yesterday.

There is a CNN article with Te'o quoting losing his gf to cancer dated December 30.

Could he not just release his phone records to exonerate himself?
How about his credit card receipt from buying these flowers to send to her fake funeral?

Seems like he'd want his money back from the florist who couldn't have delivered the flowers yet didn't tell him.

the people running the hoax had an address to send flowers. Not sure if some of you are not paying attention, or just hoping for a salacious story for entertainment.

The Manti Te'o not-really-dead-girlfriend hoax was perpetuated by a man named Ronaiah Tuiasosopo -- who served as a representative for the family of the fake "Lennay Kekua" ... and TMZ has the photo proof.

Here's what we know ...

While Manti was "dating" Lennay ... a Notre Dame die-hard fan who we'll call "Jan" (to protect her identity) reached out to Lennay on Twitter and began an online friendship.

After Lennay's supposed death, Jan became involved with a group called "Wear a Lei 4 Manti" -- in which fans wore Hawaiian leis to ND football games to show their support for the football star.

When the "Wear a Lei 4 Manti" movement began to receive media attention, Jan says she noticed she gained a Twitter follower named U'ilani Rae Kekua.

Jan tells TMZ ... she reached out to U'ilani and asked if she was related to Lennay -- to which U'ilani replied, "Yes, that's my baby sister." The two became friends.

In fact, Jan says they both mentioned how they were going to attend the Notre Dame vs. USC game in L.A. on November 24, 2012 ... so Jan sent U'ilani her cell phone number in case she wanted to meet up.

Makes you wonder what the hell the PI for ND used to draw a conclusion. Either one of those items would set the poor guy free if they existed and he would display them.
