Claim 3: “Oklahoma-based Fry says, is that she is a Napkin Mom”
DISPUTED
The claim states Angela Fry is based in Oklahoma. However, web search results identify different individuals named Angela Fry in Mississippi (LinkedIn) and Kentucky (InstantCheckmate), and the Oklahoma search result is a general Wikipedia entry about power plants, not the person. There is no evidence confirming she is based in Oklahoma.
