I would just like to say regardless of whether or not this is a hoax or not, these people have already been found guilty by the media, which means they are fucked.
There is nothing they can do now to change that and any proof they could possible dig up to defend themselves will be completely tossed aside or destroyed. Seriously, they are fucked.
Remember Scott Peterson. I remember they barely had a case on him and it was a nonstop media circus until they finally found him guilty and put him on death row.
LOLWUT?
What kind of crack are you smoking?
They found one hair, that MIGHT have been his wife's, on his boat and he was an adulterer. That was about it. Go read up on it.

EDIT: I even linked it for you. Go Edumacate yourself.

He said he expected to recommend charges of conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant.
Some of the most serious charges each carry a maximum sentence of six years in prison and a $500,000 fine.

Absolutely "no doubt" this was a hoax to generate publicity and promote a reality show, according the the sheriff's investigator. Felony child endangerment is one of the potential charges.
The sheriff's office played it cool and were able to separate the family for interviews, including separating the children with permission of the parents. It was a "very successful" strategy.
Seems to be a great job by Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden given the high emotions of this situation.
/edit: The children all "criminal knowledge" (but "most likely won't face charged because of their age")
/edit: The sheriff's department called child protection services, who are conducting an investigation, and acknowledged the husband has a temper, and also recommended to the wife that she spend the night in a safe house for victims of domestic violence. :Q
Apparently they've been called to the house once before this year for a domestic violence call to 911.
/edit: "Henne isn't a nutty professor", his school background only goes thru high school. He may be nutty tho." lol
/edit: Sheriff is done with interviews and press releases until charges are filed if they are, "with the exception of Bill O'Reilly, but he's on during the Broncos game."
WTF, O'Reilly??? I just lost a lot of respect for him, lol.

DENVER ? The mother of the 6-year-old boy once feared missing inside a runaway helium balloon admitted the whole saga was a hoax, according to court documents released Friday.
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 allegedly told investigators the incident was a hoax meant to make them more marketable to the media.
"Mayumi described that she and Richard Heene devised this hoax approximately two weeks earlier.... She and Richard had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax," the affidavit said.
Richard Heene has denied a hoax. His lawyer, David Lane, said Friday he is waiting to see the evidence in the case.
"Allegations are cheap," Lane said.
Mayumi Heene's lawyer, Lee Christian, was traveling and didn't immediately respond to messages left with his office.
Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden has said he will recommend charges against the Heenes including conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities, and attempting to influence a public servant. The most serious charges are felonies and carry a maximum sentence of six years in prison.
Alderden said authorities also would be seeking restitution for the costs of the balloon chase, though he didn't provide a figure.
His office has said it will likely be next week before it forwards its findings to prosecutors to decide on charges.
In frantic calls to a TV station, 911 and federal aviation officials, the Heenes reported that they feared Falcon was in the homemade, saucer-like balloon when it was accidentally launched from their back yard last week.
Millions watched as media and National Guard helicopters tracked the balloon across the Colorado plains. It landed in a dusty farm field, where ground crews looked inside but found no sign of the boy.
Later, the relieved-looking couple reported Falcon had been hiding in their garage the whole time. But suspicion heated up when Falcon made a comment on CNN that sounded like "You had said we did this for a show."
Sheriff's deputies questioned the parents separately on Oct. 17, two days after the flight. Mayumi Heene told authorities "she and Richard Heene had lied to authorities on October 15, 2009 (the day of the flight)," the affidavit said.
She told investigators "that the release of the flying saucer was intentional as a hoax.... The motive for the fabricated story was to make the Heene family more marketable for future media interest," the affidavit said.
The Heenes twice had appeared on ABC's reality show "Wife Swap," and acquaintances said Richard Heene had plans for other possible shows.
The producer of "Wife Swap" had a show in development with the Heenes but said the deal is now off. The TLC cable network also said Heene had pitched a reality show months ago, but it passed on the offer.
Sheriff's officials declined to comment Friday.
Among the items taken by authorities during the home search Saturday were video cameras, computers, hard drives, a picture of a flying saucer, receipts, papers, a phone/address book and a flight itinerary. The list didn't identify the passenger, destination or date of travel.

Did we ever get an explanation about why the Dad flipped out in the video of the saucer being launched?
I feel compelled to point and laugh at you for even hoping for that.Originally posted by: DrPizza
Now, with any luck, none of the television stations will pick up the tab for restitution by deciding that people would actually watch a television documentary or some idiotic thing about this family.

I find it funny that the parents have different lawyers.
