THE BALLOON BOY'S JAPANESE MOM SPILLS THE BEANSOn October 17th 2009, the Balloon Boy's mother, Mayumi Heene née Iizuka, perhaps unwisely without the benefit of legal counsel at that time, apparently made a confession to the police that it was a hoax.
In an affidavit produced by the Larimer County Sheriff's office:
"On October 17, 2009, Mayumi Heene told your affiant that she and Richard Heene had lied to authorities on October 15, 2009. That the release of the flying saucer was intentional as a hoax, that she and Richard Heene knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence. The motive for the fabricated story was to make the Heene family more marketable for future media interest.”

The news reports indicate Mayumi Heene did not have a lawyer present when she was first questioned. I wonder if the police took advantage of her lack of English-language fluency and probably her unawareness of her rights under the law to intimidate her into confessing? That's how they do it in her home country - Japan - along with beatings and detention without any charges for up to 22 days. Very effective in extracting confessions and convictions - false or otherwise.
Mayumi probably first needs to be deprogrammed from the cultish Scientology-like brainwashing she's received from her husband.
All that weird b.s. about being descended from reptilian aliens, UFOs, and Armageddon predictions for 2012. What a load of crock!!
