I think I heard this claim from Hector Avalos in an interview he did on the Infidel Guy radio show. So I'm not certain on that, but that's what I've heard. There have been cases where interpolations have been suspected even without any manuscript evidence at all, then come to find out from the Dead Sea Scrolls we find a text that omits the disputed passage, just as the scholars had suspected.
