A closer look at the Balloon Boy incident. The press and the police said it was a publicity stunt to make the family more marketable for future reality TV shows. But Richard Heene always claimed that it was just an accident. Tonight on Unsolved Internet Mysteries we crack the case.

Nope. They were looking into the legal citizenship of his wife. At no time did a prosecutor say "Plead guilty, and this will all go away" That is unlawful coercion. Mind you, Our little Internet Historian didn't provide any PROOF that they did say that. It is just complete and utter speculation on his part.

The us court system has a history of weaponizing things such as that. That's why there are so many cases of immigrants being underpaid. If they speak up the employer can simply say "bUT TheIR CitIZenSHip", and the person is seen as the an untrustable source by the court and is deported.

@@totozhu4543 I have 2 kids. They do shit ALL THE TIME without thinking and sometimes when there's legitimate danger, you kinda go off more than what is reasonable. 2 am on a Friday night like 8 months ago I hear my overly dramatic 4 year old screaming (kid screams and cries like he's just been shot over minor things) so I go downstairs and he's got a gouge in his forehead half inch above his eye. Obviously I started freaking out like he's dying and grabbed him, tossed him in the car and took off for the hospital. I still catch that fucker jumping on his bed or the couch, 8 stitches later. I've learned to tone it down, but the first couple of times after his incident I definitely got angrier and louder than what's reasonable, but that night scared the fuck out if me and u really thought he was seriously hurt. Honestly for the first week after the fact, I woke up in the middle of the night just to check on both kids like 4 or 5 times every night.

You know that clichè corrupt prosecutor or cop in so many crime shows/movies that says something like "so what if he's innocent of this crime, he's a bad guy and has probably broken a bunch of laws. We just haven't caught him yet" The trope is an extension of the very silly and overly simplistic idea that there are "good people" in the world, and "bad people" in the world. That "bad people" should be punished, and the misunderstanding that the criminal justice system is punitive when in reality it's reformative. Many people empathise with that position. It's why it's such a clichè trope of the genre, people actually think that way. When they bring up that they think he's an asshole (and we have no evidence for that either) they're saying they don't care if he's actually guilty or innocent, they don't like him so he must be a "bad guy" and deserve punishment.

They’ve now pardoned the parents, but the messed up thing is they didn’t admit to how they scared the parents into a guilty plea or that the conviction was wrong. The judge just said “it’s time to move on” without admitting it was a false conviction, so legally they are pardoned but their reputation will still forever be tarnished because of a messed up justice system

While I agree with you, I do disagree on one thing.-the guilty plea. He absolutely was made to plead guilty. Most times, trying to plea not guilty could get you a hell of a lot more time... And it takes even longer for the case to find a person guilty or innocent after a long and drawn out and traumatizing (for the kids especially) trial. Our justice system is completely broken in America. I wish Mr. Heene knew that going in. It's always portrayed in the movies that getting a lawyer automatically equals guilt. That's just not how it works. A lawyer could have stopped all of this from happening and from the children being traumatized by being taken away from their parents... Bc if I remember correctly, I saw a video from Mr. Heene's where he talks about losing his children over this event. I have nothing but sympathy for them and the children. Our justice system so desperately needs to be fixed.

Completely agree Elle! No panic at all about their “master plan” being exposed. Also, in the heene follow-up vid, DHS interrogated each kid for almost 3 hours each and found nothing that showed that falcon’s story was fake or that he “did it for the show”… very likely story is that falcon just misunderstood question and parents had no idea that his answer would be twisted in a way by media to imply that maybe they were faking it.

Falcon was a child who was playing and hiding from his parents (as all children have done at some point), but the media spun it in a way that made him look like he was part of some grand scheme his parents cooked up for attention. And people wonder why the justice system and media are corrupted.

And in the infomercial they probably had several takes while they only had one take to shoot the video with the balloon. Also, why did Richard leave his equipment on the balloon? Even if he did do it the police there deserves to be brought to justice and punished for going outside of the law. The whole case relies on flimsy pieces of evidence (if you can even call it that.) The confession (from Mayumi) given didn't make any sense so the only "evidence" could have been the boy said they did it for the show.

There is one thing that I am surprised you didn't bring up. Which is the son's alternative motivation for hiding. The father was very angry about the loss of his expensive scientific equipment. Not just the balloon but also the electronics inside it. So the father begins to shout at and blame the people around him. When you are six years old and approximately quarter the size of your dad that is absolutely terrifying. It's not hard to imagine that the second the father started shouting the little kid immediately gets the fuck out of there.

I use to think "why would that boy just make up that story about doing it for the show?" but now that I have my own kids around that age, I know that they do this stuff all the time. For example, just the other day my son went to school and told all his teachers that I was taking away all his things and making him shovel the entire street by himself and he'd have to stay outside all night long. When in actuality I told him to shovel avout 20 feet of sidewalk that had already been half done for him. Kids really do just make crap up sometimes

My parents, siblings, neighbors and police searched for me for hours, and then I walked up behind my father and asked what everyone was doing. I had sleepwalked to the laundry room, and climbed into a pile of clothes behind the door.

Just checked out the editing history on Wikipedia. Apparently, on October 22 2019, almost all of the information in Heene's defense (and what IH referenced in this video) was removed, the article was perma-locked to prevent editing, and the name of the article was changed from "scandal" to "hoax". This is fucked up. EDIT: Richard Heene has been pardoned by the Governor of Colorado. However, he has yet to be exonerated and the reason given for the pardon was not that Richard was innocent, but that Richard Heene "has paid the price in the eyes of the public." He is still guilty according to the media and the courts. Even in this pardon, there is still no justice.
