Balloon boy charges
Posted by: | Comments‘Balloon Boy Charges’ are the next step to proving the Balloon Boy saga was a hoax. Now Balloon Boy charges are close to being filed against the Heene family, in the latest setback for Richard Heene since ‘Balloon Boy’ took off – or not. Nothing Richard Heene said, or failed to say, in Balloon Boy Charges May Come Against Balloon Boy Family Soon yesterday’s press conferences may have done much good, as Balloon Boy charges appear to be imminent. While everyone was let down by Heene’s press conferences yesterday, today’s press conference by local sheriff Jim Alderden should be more revealing.
Authorities in Colorado say criminal charges are expected to be filed against Richard Heene, a storm-chasing father whose giant Mylar balloon ascended into the sky earlier this week — sparking fears that his 6-year-old was aboard.
Richard Heene offers a cardboard box Saturday to receive questions about his son and about his famous balloon.
“We anticipate criminal charges will be filed sometime in the near future,” Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden told CNN.
Balloon boy announcement from his Dad Richard Heene
Posted by: | CommentsRichard Heene, solid patriarch of the Balloon Family, will be making a “big announcement” at a press conference outside his home today at 10 am CMT. He at the center of the “Balloon Boy” controversy reiterated this morning that the reported disappearance of his 6-year-old son aboard a helium balloon in the skies over Colorado was not a hoax.
“Friends are telling me they’re saying this and that,” he said this morning about the allegations. “I have no idea what the news is saying – I don’t have cable. Okay?”
“Can we just ask our questions at all?” said one of the reporters assembled.
“No. Not at all,” he replied.
When a reporter asked, “Would you just say once and for all, was this some sort of publicity stunt? Was this a hoax? And will you talk to the police today?”
“Absolutely no hoax,” was Heene’s reply. “I want your questions in the box. I’ll get right back to you. Okay?”
On Friday, two of the Heene boys could be seen playing in the backyard and peeking through windows at reporters on the street. One of the boys, Ryo, would occasionally crack open the door and tell journalists that the family was not talking today.
“My dad said he’s tired of this show,” the boy said.
