Balloon Boy, Wife Swap Richard Heene’s Son Falcon Heene Found Alive Photos and News here. The 6 year-old ‘balloon boy’ Falcon Heene feared to have been carried away in a home-made balloon has been found safe in a box in the attic of his family’s home. The boy’s family recently appeared on “Wife Swap,” an ABC reality show.
Falcon Heene’s disappearance led to a huge search and rescue operation with US networks devoting their airtime to live footage of the balloon over Colorado, according to bbc.
According to cnn, “I played with my toys and took a nap,” Falcon told a group of reporters outside his home Thursday afternoon.
“He says he was hiding in the attic,” said Falcon’s father, meteorologist Richard Heene, clutching his son. “He says it’s because I yelled at him.”
“I’m sorry I yelled at him,” added Heene, tearfully hugging the boy.
In a later interview with CNN’s “Larry King Live,” Falcon said he heard his parents call for him from the garage.
When asked by his father on-air why he didn’t respond, the boy replied, “You guys said we did this for the show.”
The story took a turn when ABC said that Falcon’s parents, science enthusiasts Richard and Mayumi Heene, were featured on the 100th episode of ABC’s prime-time program “Wife Swap” in March 2009.
