The mother of the 6-year-old boy once feared missing in a runaway balloon admitted the whole saga was a hoax, according to newly released court documents.
Mayumi Heene told sheriff's deputies that she and her husband, Richard, "knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence" in Fort Collins, according to an affidavit used to get a search warrant for the home. She reportedly told investigators the incident was a hoax meant to make them more marketable to the media.
