I might buy the FBI looks into things referred to it by the NIH.  But US
Marshalls investigating things for the FTC?  I think not.  <a
href="http://www.usmarshals.gov/duties/index.html";>Here</a> are the
major
responsibilities of the US Marshall Service, nothing comes close to
playing
clean-up for other federal agencies.

This is simply a professor trying to scare the living daylights out of
the
thief to get them to come forward.  If he had the student as close as he
says he does, they wouldn't need to make an announcement in class.
They'd
be making an arrest instead.
