I have to admit to my own mistakes. When reading the blog, many things did not make any sense, and searching for the name on the Twitter account in Google came up with nothing. No Facebook page, no blog, no Google+ account, no business or web site listing, no forum posts, no eBay listings, nothing on the name this Twitter account was using. It made me very skeptical and in my opinion I thought it was a hoax or staged, so I asked a series of questions. My words were taking out of context, edited in replies, and then deleted. All I was trying to do was find out the truth about the Tweeter and if it was faked or not.

After a series of hoaxes on the Internet like Manti Te'o girlfriend, who also could not be found in Google searches, I got outraged over it and blogged about it being a hoax. I apologize for it now, and I was out of line and admit my mistakes. I issue a public apology to Laura and all involved.

I hope that you can see why I was so suspicious and skeptical over it. usually when there is no trace in Google for someone, it just screams hoax, and fake account. Possible he used a fake name on Twitter and stole someone's picture just to make the tweet and then deleted his account. Did anyone find the man?
