- Original CBS 5 article: Reward Claimed When Pig Flies At Coachella Fest
When things go bad for a huge inflatable pig, don't expect it to be pretty.
A helium-filled swine, released into the night sky during Roger Waters' headlining set Sunday at the Coachella music festival in the Southern California desert, has been found in pieces.
Two couples found tattered halves of the pig Monday in their yards, a few miles from the festival grounds.
Concert organizers had offered a $10,000 reward for the pig's return.
Yesterday, the pieces of the plastic carcass were examined and festival producer Bill Fold said, "That's definitely our pig."
Susan Stoltz found a plastic heap in her driveway Monday. Another resident of the same neighborhood, Judy Rimmer, said she found a piece of the pig draped over a front-yard plant.
Fold said the two couples will split the cash reward.
