Balloon Boy's Mother -- It Was All a Hoax
Posted Oct 23rd 2009 5:15PM by TMZ Staff, NTVLand

The mother of the "Balloon Boy" has finally come clean, admitting the
whole ridiculous fiasco was the hoax everybody knew it was anyway.

In a search warrant affidavit that was released today, Mayumi Heene
told sheriff's deputies she and Richard "knew all along that Falcon
was hiding in the residence."

In the document, it says "Mayumi described that she and Richard Heene
devised this hoax approximately two weeks earlier ... she and Richard
had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as
the media regarding this hoax."

Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden has said he will recommend charges
against the family including conspiracy, contributing to the
delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and
attempting to influence a public servant.

Is this true? If so, why haven't charges been filed? Anybody?
jc

Is there a rush? The FAA investigation isn't complete.

Kris

If the mom confessed, what's the hold up? The Sheriff doesn't need to wait for the FAA. So I'd like to know what's going on. Looks to me like someone is waiting for it to all blow over (no pun intended).

jc

The local/state charges are primarily misdemeanors. If they
can bring a stronger federal case, they should.

Kris

I can't figure out what the deal with the Sheriff is. I wonder if the FAA sees it as a one-off and not worth their time?

jc


I doubt that. they had to reroute DIA take-offs, NORAD was
involved, FE Warren AFB was involved......and the Air National
Guard.
