“ This is a 19-year-old kid. He’s not a criminal genius setting up an elaborate alibi for himself,” he said. “This is not the kind of thing someone would fake.” And if someone were going to fake it, he said, “They’d do it in a lot clearer way” than the inside joke that Bradford posted: “On the phone with this fat chick… where my IHOP.” The message was met with some incomprehension by reporters first writing about the story, who didn’t quite understand the reference to the International House of Pancakes. Reuland explained it this way: The “fat chick” was a playful reference to Bradford’s pregnant girlfriend who was irked that he, his father and his stepmother had gone to an IHOP without her the night before. The update teased that she wondered where her pancakes were. “He was just kind of taunting her playfully about having been to IHOP,” Reuland said. “I know it sounds not very nice but it’s sort of a reference to her because she’s pregnant. But they actually have a very good relationship. She’s cute as a button.
