Claim 1: “An additional $5,000 reward has been offered by the US Marshals Service.”
MISLEADING
The evidence shows the US Marshals Service offering $5,000 rewards in other unrelated cases (e.g., Otero, a case in Houston, and a case involving an Austin woman), but there is no evidence in the provided text linking a US Marshals reward specifically to the Old West End Festival suspects.
