• Mayumi Heene is the mother of Falcon Heene, a six-year-old Fort Collins, Colorado, boy first thought to have crawled into his father's experimental helium-filled balloon and floated away on October 15, 2009. When the balloon landed the boy was not inside. A massive search was launched for the child, who was later found safe hiding in the family's garage.

    On October 18, 2009, authorities in Larimer County, Colorado, announced that the incident was a hoax. According to documents released on October 23, 2009, Mayumi Heene told police the entire incident was a hoax thought up by she and her husband two weeks before the incident took place.http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gNjDfxqke2Lg2A8JyZaRyg2ufgIQD9BH2ET83

    On November 13, 2009, Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of false reporting to authorities. The plea is said to be part of a deal with prosecutors, who will reportedly recommend probation and up to 60 days in jail. She will be sentenced on December 23, 2009.http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/13/balloon.boy.heene/index.html http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE5AC4K620091113
