Balloon Boy Not a Hoax! Authorities Believe the Heenes – VIDEO
Balloon Boy Gate: hoax or not a hoax? That is the question.
The story of Balloon Boy Falcon Heene has swept the nation and it may have been staged, but then again, it might be the real deal.
Richard Heene swears that it is the absolute truth and he’s not happy about suggestions to the contrary: “Now I’m starting to get a little ticked off. What have I got to gain out of this?”
In one of his many interviews following the discovery of Falcon in the family’s attic Mr. Heene added, “I’m kind of appalled after all the feelings that I went through, up and down, that you guys are trying to suggest something else.”
Colorado sheriff Jim Alderden agrees, “That the boy had been coaxed to hide in this attic… is inconceivable.
“We believe at this time that it was a real event. Certainly people are free to speculate.”
The sheriff did add that should the hoax rumors prove true that authorities would “seek restitution by whatever means we have available”.
The Heene family, Richard and his wife Mayumi, Falcon and his brothers Brad and Ryo, will be questioned again after they’ve had a couple of days to rest.
What do you think?
And while we’re at it, what do you think of this rap video they made? That’s odd, right?
