Claim 3: “A woman who D.C. police described as being a critical missing person was located, authorities said Monday.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result mentions a 'critical missing person' (a Salvadoran mother) being found, it does not specify that the announcement was made on a Monday, nor does it clearly link to the specific woman (Madeline Avillion) mentioned in subsequent claims. The evidence provided for claim 0 is fragmented and refers to different individuals.
