I'm about half way through it and it reads exactly how I imagine Alias lives his life, wearing those t-shirts made for chicks.Wow. That's one of the oddest stories I've ever read.

This could be the biggest break of Yandek's career since "managing" Jake The Snake Roberts.

Same exact. Right down to the same background details (from London, lived in jersey, worked at Elle magazine, lived in the city, traveled a bunch, Etc). Would be really interesting to know how many guys spoke to her over the years.HOOO...LYYYY...####! You're kidding me here. The same person? Geez!But yes, same girl I dealt with. Same facts, same story, same schtick. I'd be really curious to know who she is in real life, how many dozens of hundreds of dudes spent time on this, and why the hell she did it. She must have committed a TON of effort. I guess she just got off on it.I once snapped on her after she stood me up and told her I was certain she weighed about 500 lbs. I suspect I was probably right.

Wow. That's an incredible amount of time over the course of years for absolutely no reason. Someone like that could be capable of some hanus crimes, if you think about it. Scary stuffSame exact.

Just read that whole Ashley York blog. Insane and fascinating. Wish it had a better resolution though.

You and me both. I was wishing he had either solved the mystery, had pics, met her in person, or got some good payback. Don't like the loose end.

Someone needs to find this Ashley York chick again, start a relationship and then contact Catfish.

Otis, you should ring up some of the big newspapers and feature-oriented mags in NYC and pitch this story to a feature writer. With the Te'O story out there and the fact that she's done this to hundreds (probably) of guys in the local area over a decade it'd make a great longform story.ETA: and I guarantee either the investigation or the subsequent publicity would out the people behind Krista and Ashley.

This story is so old, I would imagine that it's not an active scam, or someone has already outed her. Either that or there are copycats by now.

Otis> interesting story. We're going to need to see the pics you have (since the blog deleted theirs) please. Couldn't help but laugh when he got the call from the dude.

10. Just read them all. It's well written overall, but gets a little shaky here and there. A lot of self-amused side notes and verbosity. Edited, it would be a work of art.I'm about half way through it and it reads exactly how I imagine Alias lives his life, wearing those t-shirts made for chicks.Wow.

The payoff on this one kind of sucked as well. It was way better before he hired a team of detectives and then eventually gave up.I bailed on that a looong time ago.

I guess it would have been satisfying for them to catch them, but I found it intriguing that they couldn't put it all together. The hardest parts to read were his emails to Ashley. I can't believe he shared something that pathetic with the rest of the world. Much like Manti Te'o, he seemed to live in this duality of understanding it was a hoax but talking about it like it was real.
Otis

I give the guy credit for his transparency. The blog is mostly good for that reason. He's not taking himself too seriously.

He mentioned a pic of her riding a donkey. I saw those on Facebook a couple years ago. She's super, super hot in those pics. But the pics constantly changed over time. And what was funny is that it wasn't even the same person in all her pics.I dug into my archive from 2005 and found a few pics. I'll try and upload them. They're of different chicks. That was one thing I remember -- back in the day I remember telling Righetti and the fellas that all her pics look like different people. She basically would just post pics of a bunch of hot similar looking blonde girls, and sometimes with angles such that you couldn't easily tell they were different people. But the Greece photos were by far the hottest because they were bikini pics of her riding a donkey and a vespa etc. Sadly I don't think I have those.

The human mind is a fascinating thing. You want something to be real so badly that you ignore all of the warning signs.
Like when he's trying to come up with a "reasonable" explanation why no one at Elle knows her, but it's still possible she works there. Agree with Pickles, the emails were definitely a big part of the letdown. He does a good job with the setup. You get this sense that something big is going to happen when Troy gets involved. He gets a solid lead in the Kim Daniels thing. And then, he just instantly pops the balloon with those emails in one shot. If I was one of the people on his team that had put man hours into this, that would have been a pretty big letdown. The imagining Harvard chick riding a donkey in Greece part instead of even trying to follow that lead pretty much blew as well. It just seems that they put a lot of effort in to give up so quickly on the few solid leads that did turn up. As a whole, big thumbs down on the second half of the story.Incidentally, I've had several Facebook friends requests from hot women, but I just reject when I have no idea who they are. I guess you might react differently if you were single, but it seems pretty strange how people get themselves so involved in something that obviously has a high probability of being a scam.

I love the fact that Otis can't even fathom the possibility of it being a dude.

So a chick from the internet gave you pics of people that were clearly different each time, yet you still pursued it?

Looks like the pics of this girl are setting a new standard for the Offdee 10: That once-in-a-lifetime girl that you will fly across the country to meet, even though you have no specific evidence she exists.

He had me thinking there for a bit that it was going to BE Troy. Anyone else think that for a bit?
