CO - Richard & Mayumi Heene charged in Balloon Boy hoax, Fort Collins, 2009 - #1

OMG---noone is in the balloon!! Where is he??? Do you think this was a publicity stunt? Where could he have fallen out??? Poor baby!

 

[sniperacer]

He is missing.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

I don't think he's in there. Shepard Smith on FoxNews makes a good point..if he's alive he would have crawled out. If he's not alive or injured..the medics standing by would've been rushed in.

 

[White Rain]

My guess is he is probably dead. God I hope I am wrong. Hopefully he fell out at a low altitude.

 

[Tom'sGirl]

Unless they had verbal contact from the child saying he's okay is the only reason I can figure for not getting him out immeditely.

 

[not_my_kids]

Oh God, this is just terrible.

 

[Linda7NJ]

What the heck???????????

 

[aprilshowers]

OH NO!! He's not in there .... where IS he? They need to get out there NOW .. and find him!!!

 

[Liz]

No Falcon!

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

I don't even see a "door" or a way in that thing. Did something ELSE happen to Falcon and this was a cover?

 

[Moe]

Oh no, this is frightening! Prayers to the family.

 

[SuziQ]

No one inside the balloon per LE.

 

[Kat]

According to LE there is no one inside balloon. Where is this baby?

 

[momtective]

Okay, where's the boy? Did he fall out?

 

[KaylynnCouture]

FoxNews: "The brother of the missing boy believes he fell out of the balloon"

This is the most bizzare story I've heard of.

 

[not_my_kids]

CNN running he is definitely not inside.

 

[Malini2001]

Maybe the child untethered it and ran off and hid because he thought he would get in trouble. I hope so, anyway.

 

[Jesikah1]

Cnn says that there is no one inside, but they haven't indicated if they think there ever was a kid inside.

 

[Jesikah1]

God this is horrific, at what point in this incident did cameras turn on?

 

[SuziQ]

I'm not seeing where he would have ridden. Was there originally a basket attached?
