00:00:01
here it is all
00:00:03
right on April 19th a video called
00:00:07
balloon boy the untold story was
00:00:10
uploaded to internet historian it
00:00:13
proposed that the balloon boy hoax of
00:00:16
2009 may have been a legitimate accident
00:00:19
and no hoax at
00:00:21
all on May 11th having seen the video
00:00:25
Richard Heeney got in
00:00:27
touch he sent through several pieces of
00:00:30
evidence to support his ongoing claim of
00:00:34
Innocence the most compelling was a
00:00:36
video that he made in
00:00:39
2010 this is Richard's side of the
00:00:45
story corruption in the justice
00:00:49
system before I get into the facts I
00:00:51
want to tell you one thing all right my
00:00:54
attorney was um David
00:00:57
Lane um I took that plea because I I I
00:01:03
told him I wasn't going to take there's
00:01:05
no way I'm going to plead guilty no way
00:01:06
I didn't do
00:01:07
it
00:01:09
so he said before you make a decision
00:01:12
look into the case I'm now suing lry
00:01:15
County for and in Fort Collins Police
00:01:18
Department he said look at at 10 masters
00:01:21
so I went home I looked at the 10
00:01:24
Master's case
00:01:25
online it was
00:01:27
mindboggling mindboggling man
00:01:30
uh they framed this poor guy Tim Masters
00:01:33
went to prison for 10 years he didn't do
00:01:37
it Tim Masters was exonerated through
00:01:39
DNA evidence he later sued laram County
00:01:43
and the City of Fort Collins and
00:01:45
received a $10 million settlement the
00:01:48
case of who murdered Peggy hatrick
00:01:50
remains unsolved bradrick I think his
00:01:53
name is Lieutenant brri the lead
00:01:56
investigator uh he perjured himself on
00:01:59
affidavit purged himself on the stand
00:02:01
and I guess they fabricated evidence uh
00:02:04
to my understanding and um they withheld
00:02:07
evidence the guy goes to
00:02:09
prison the Julian Blair was the
00:02:12
prosecutor she became a judge because of
00:02:14
that judge jolian Blair was later
00:02:16
censured by the Supreme Court for
00:02:18
withholding evidence favorable to the
00:02:20
defense in the Tim Master's case
00:02:22
Lieutenant uh bradrick I think I'm
00:02:24
saying his name right he became a
00:02:26
commander these guys got raises you know
00:02:29
they they went up the ranks because of
00:02:31
this so when he said that to me I get it
00:02:35
I get it fine anyway that is why I had
00:02:39
to do what I had to do on top of the
00:02:41
fact that U they were threatening to um
00:02:45
Deport my wife so could just try to
00:02:47
imagine I fight it they they they gather
00:02:50
up all their lies and all their evidence
00:02:52
and then I've got a fight from jail I
00:02:56
lose my kids myumi is deported to Japan
00:03:01
what would you do the purpose of the
00:03:03
balloon
00:03:06
experiment everything about this was
00:03:09
farsal it's like anything that they
00:03:11
could make up they just simply added on
00:03:13
I mean it was never a weather balloon
00:03:15
you seem to like this titled balloon boy
00:03:16
I hate it that's not what it was it's
00:03:19
insulting what it was was an experiment
00:03:21
in the backyard to see if I could get
00:03:23
the thing to move left or right fill the
00:03:25
full of helium five
00:03:27
tanks and if you charge the outside skin
00:03:30
on the top positive you charge the
00:03:32
bottom skin negative and section the
00:03:36
panels out you might get propulsion I
00:03:38
don't know I it was just a test so look
00:03:41
at this sample you see what I'm talking
00:03:42
about so you fill a full of helium and
00:03:46
it's it acts like a BM then you take the
00:03:50
bi field Brown effect of lifter
00:03:52
technology and add that to
00:03:54
it Fabrications by the
00:03:57
prosecutor so after I take their plea
00:04:00
I'm sitting in the courtroom okay I
00:04:02
can't believe what I'm hearing and uh
00:04:05
this uh prosecutor Andrew
00:04:07
Lewis stands up there before the judge
00:04:11
before the
00:04:12
courtroom and let's not forget the
00:04:14
entire world was watching on TV the
00:04:16
entire planet Earth is watching the
00:04:18
stupid case and he's
00:04:22
lying uh I want to show you this they
00:04:25
gave me a CD see that CD that's the logo
00:04:30
and on here are photographs
00:04:32
okay the first photograph was taken on
00:04:36
October 15th
00:04:38
2009 okay so after the Flying Saucer
00:04:40
landed photograph number PA 1
00:04:45
15342 if you zoom in on it you can
00:04:48
clearly see the high voltage PC board
00:04:52
from the stun gun and the battery
00:04:55
connector all right now let's zoom in on
00:04:58
the next photo PA 1
00:05:03
15330 it clearly shows three 9V
00:05:08
batteries three of
00:05:15
them uh he said that there was three 9vt
00:05:19
batteries hooked up to a stun gun and it
00:05:21
would produce volts therefore no one uh
00:05:24
should touch it uh what they do find
00:05:26
inside is two 1.5 volt batteries hooked
00:05:29
up to an timer uh no indication that
00:05:32
there was a stun gun in there he's
00:05:33
claiming two
00:05:35
1.5 volt what what is
00:05:38
this size of the
00:05:41
balloon we then took measurements of the
00:05:44
balloon which measured 16 ft across and
00:05:48
6 ft tall and the compartment below was
00:05:52
2
00:05:53
ft in this next
00:05:55
photograph
00:05:57
pa150 362
00:06:00
you see they pull the measurement from
00:06:02
the outside to the center pin at 10 ft
00:06:06
you double that it's 20 ft wide just
00:06:08
like I said so in order for them to
00:06:11
somehow prove that I somehow had
00:06:14
knowledge that the it it wasn't going to
00:06:17
lift up that much weight they lied and
00:06:20
they said they pulled new measurements
00:06:22
and it's 16 ft wide so they get this
00:06:24
professor Jones from CSU to come in and
00:06:28
back it up and validate that a 16 foot
00:06:31
wide Flying Saucer is not going to pick
00:06:33
that up Mr Haney was asked during this
00:06:36
incident what the capacity the lifting
00:06:39
capacity of this balloon was and Mr
00:06:41
Haney provided a a lifting capacity for
00:06:45
72 lbs the sheriff's department had
00:06:48
contacted a professor at CSU to
00:06:51
determine whether based on the capacity
00:06:53
he had and the amount of helium he had
00:06:56
whether or not it would be possible to
00:06:57
lift up falcon
00:07:00
and whether it's possible that he was in
00:07:01
this balloon basically he stated the
00:07:05
craft would probably not have been
00:07:07
capable of sustaining flight with Falcon
00:07:10
aboard however he did add based on the
00:07:14
description of the craft provided by
00:07:16
Richard Heeney originally those
00:07:18
calculations when used would have been
00:07:20
able to sustain
00:07:25
[Music]
00:07:28
flight look 10t 2 in you see that 10t 2
00:07:34
in is focused is it focused get
00:07:37
back okay now look at
00:07:40
Mommy she's right in the center I mean
00:07:42
how could you
00:07:43
miscalculate this at 16 ft they know
00:07:47
that they were lying so they tried to
00:07:48
get myumi to sign something while I was
00:07:52
incarcerated had she assigned it then we
00:07:55
would have been
00:07:56
screwed the call to 911
00:08:00
so perhaps one of the biggest lies of
00:08:02
all that perpetrated more media frenzy
00:08:06
was the fact that uh this investigator
00:08:09
Bob heffernon lied on his affidavit in
00:08:13
order to get a search warrant and then
00:08:15
later an arrest warrant and the sheriff
00:08:17
was in the Next Room and everybody heard
00:08:20
me say clearly heard me say the order in
00:08:23
which the phone calls were
00:08:25
made then about an hour later they run
00:08:28
down the hall whatever they had to do to
00:08:30
fill out this affidavit and then they
00:08:32
got a judge to sign it based on that
00:08:38
lie the first call was to the FAA yes
00:08:41
and my understanding is they tell you to
00:08:42
call 911 yeah and I sign out to be
00:08:46
shocking because I would have called I
00:08:48
actually thought i' called 911 I'm you
00:08:50
know they they don't have any way to fly
00:08:52
up to so that's why I thought of the FBA
00:08:54
they tell me to call 911 so I called uh
00:08:57
901 um
00:09:00
I shout out to my wife I said I don't
00:09:01
care who you get you get somebody with a
00:09:03
helicopter now okay her idea was to call
00:09:06
um uh the news helicopters cuz of the
00:09:08
traffic stuff so she's in my other room
00:09:10
doing whatever she's doing so you call
00:09:11
911 yes okay and your wife calls for
00:09:17
helicopters from the news people yeah
00:09:19
well I think she called a couple of
00:09:20
people some kind of helicopter rental
00:09:22
service maybe or something like that I'm
00:09:23
not sure what she did I'll have to get
00:09:25
the details from her they hung up on her
00:09:28
okay I get irritated
00:09:30
okay I said I know they're probably
00:09:32
going to make fun of accent people do it
00:09:33
all the time and or she wasn't clear on
00:09:36
the phone well they thought it was a
00:09:37
prank okay and I'm thinking oh my God
00:09:40
she got somebody with a helicopter let's
00:09:41
call somebody let's call I to Redial um
00:09:45
call I said who's this and they said um
00:09:48
nine
00:09:49
news Richard called the Federal Aviation
00:09:54
FAA Channel 9 News Denver then emergency
00:09:58
dispatch
00:10:00
and reported that Falcon was missing and
00:10:03
presumed to be in the experimental
00:10:05
Flying Saucer that was now a drift after
00:10:08
they interrogated
00:10:10
me they about an hour later they run
00:10:12
down the hall fill out an idavid which
00:10:14
is a complete utter
00:10:16
lie an hour later to get a a search
00:10:19
warrant from my house so they they
00:10:21
influenced the public official to sign a
00:10:24
search warrant and they lied on the
00:10:26
affidavit now this Jim brck he's up for8
00:10:29
counts of perjury and several of those
00:10:32
he perjured himself on an affidavit you
00:10:34
know these guys man this is what they do
00:10:36
in Fort Collins this is what the Fort
00:10:37
Collins cops do to prove that I made the
00:10:41
the phone calls and order I I made them
00:10:43
I called the FAA they told me to call
00:10:46
911 I did and you can hear my voice in
00:10:49
the background if you crank it up hear
00:10:51
my voice in the background and I said as
00:10:54
soon as the guy picks the phone up I
00:10:55
said do you guys have a [ __ ]
00:10:56
helicopter you can hear in the
00:10:57
background listen to it hold on one
00:11:00
second for me okay I'm just to lar
00:11:03
County stay on the
00:11:14
phone first or did they actually call
00:11:18
dispatch my understanding is and and I'm
00:11:21
afraid I haven't seen the timeline on a
00:11:23
so I'll I'll tell you what I believe to
00:11:25
be the case today uh our understanding
00:11:27
is that his first call was to uh the FAA
00:11:31
and that the second call was made to 9
00:11:34
News uh with the belief that they had a
00:11:36
helicopter that might be able to assist
00:11:38
and that sometime afterwards they called
00:11:41
911 so lmer County Sheriff's Department
00:11:44
is solely responsible for causing the
00:11:46
media frenzy the interrogation of
00:11:49
Richard
00:11:50
Heeney it's painful because they lied to
00:11:52
me to get me to go down to the station I
00:11:54
get down there and they basically try to
00:11:56
Ambush me with these questions the inter
00:11:59
ation they didn't say they were going to
00:12:00
interrogate me I think I think Bob's got
00:12:02
a strategy to maybe help you get these
00:12:04
[ __ ] off your back great let all
00:12:08
right thanks thank you and then they set
00:12:10
up a um at the same time to go ambush my
00:12:14
wife at the
00:12:15
house she wasn't read her rights by the
00:12:18
way so then they asked me to take a
00:12:23
polygraph now you got to know something
00:12:25
from that morning of when the flying
00:12:28
sauc
00:12:29
event happened to the time I'm down here
00:12:32
at the station it was 52 hours with no
00:12:35
sleep I've got pressed hanging outside
00:12:37
my window they're beating down my door
00:12:39
phone's ringing off the hook I can't
00:12:42
sleep um I mean I was completely out of
00:12:45
my mind so
00:12:47
then uh I tested my blood sugar level at
00:12:49
the
00:12:50
station and it was
00:12:57
473 that's not good
00:13:00
what is it 473 okay what does that mean
00:13:03
you need a snack or something I'm
00:13:04
supposed to be at 100 okay so how do you
00:13:08
get it down do I I got take soda or take
00:13:11
a shot
00:13:13
okay when you have high blood sugar
00:13:15
you're extremely tired even somewhat
00:13:19
lethargic uh on top of the fact I didn't
00:13:22
have to sleep I'm out of my mind they
00:13:24
asked me to go take a polygraph so I uh
00:13:28
I wanted to get the hell out of the
00:13:29
station so I said fine eventually I
00:13:32
didn't know what to do quite frankly so
00:13:34
I try I triy to call some attorneys it
00:13:35
was Saturday I'm sure they set that up
00:13:37
so I couldn't call any attorneys so I go
00:13:39
into uh their polygraph room and I'm
00:13:42
trying to take their freaking polygraph
00:13:44
now in Most states I'm going to read you
00:13:47
this in Most
00:13:49
states police may not use overbearing
00:13:51
measures to coer an involuntary
00:13:54
confession examples of improper or
00:13:57
illegal interrogation tactics May
00:13:58
included
00:13:59
include continuing to question you even
00:14:02
after you ask for a
00:14:03
lawyer depriving you of food water or
00:14:08
sleep beating you or threatening harm or
00:14:12
greater punishment and or making false
00:14:14
promises of leniency in exchange for a
00:14:17
confession all right so here's the
00:14:19
polygraph examiner um Kevin Maul doing
00:14:22
the
00:14:23
interrogation when we get through the
00:14:25
questions we'll take a break and walk
00:14:27
around we B kind of wake up a little bit
00:14:28
and use the rest
00:14:30
I can see you're struggling a little bit
00:14:31
but we'll take a break and we're going
00:14:32
to rev the questions again okay I got
00:14:35
some circulation I am
00:14:37
not I am just not uh
00:14:40
here
00:14:42
okay okay Richard you you are going to
00:14:44
have to focus and and concentrate and
00:14:47
stay
00:14:48
awake okay and and it it most certainly
00:14:51
will help it force and keeping your eyes
00:14:53
open okay okay so we'll go ahead and try
00:14:57
one more time just not able to stay
00:15:01
alert
00:15:02
enough so Kevin Maul wrote in his
00:15:04
affidavit dated 10:26 2009 Mr Heeney did
00:15:09
not make any admissions however he began
00:15:12
to reiterate that he again had symptoms
00:15:16
of problems with his blood sugar level
00:15:19
and his sleepiness
00:15:20
returned this however was an obvious
00:15:24
attempt to derail the investigation
00:15:26
process and was not a legitimate medical
00:15:29
concern I mean think about the audacity
00:15:32
of this guy saying it was of no medical
00:15:36
concern when you have high blood sugar
00:15:38
uh the blood circulating through your
00:15:39
body it gets thick like syrup I hadn't
00:15:42
slept for 52 hours when I first got
00:15:45
there hours are rolling by I mean I
00:15:48
can't even stay
00:15:49
awake to derail it I was out of my mind
00:15:54
plus all the stress you got the press
00:15:56
out in front of the Housey I don't
00:15:59
imagine that they're making noise I mean
00:16:01
they got
00:16:02
machines and they got people banging on
00:16:04
my door night and day lights shining in
00:16:06
my
00:16:08
windows I'm trying to derail the
00:16:11
investigation they will stop at nothing
00:16:14
to prosecute somebody it's like a
00:16:16
conveyor belt of convictions and they
00:16:18
all get promoted based on that mayumi's
00:16:22
confession when I communicate to myumi
00:16:25
I've got to ask her three to five times
00:16:27
the same question most times through
00:16:28
throughout the day just to get the right
00:16:30
answer out of her and so yeah I was a
00:16:32
bit upset that they were even asking her
00:16:34
questions but imagine she didn't have a
00:16:36
Japanese
00:16:37
interpreter do you understand what I
00:16:39
mean by
00:16:40
hoax
00:16:44
okay U but then I was thinking hoax
00:16:47
means um
00:16:51
exhibition and
00:16:53
uh the word was in my life
00:16:59
I I never had that word so
00:17:03
um and later on I look up a dictionary
00:17:07
and look up the word and uh oh oh my God
00:17:12
that's honestly I I thought not only
00:17:15
that Miami's English was so bad that
00:17:19
Wife Swap had to subtitle her in two
00:17:21
different episodes climb up on trees
00:17:24
they act like a monkeys k i really
00:17:27
enjoying full having
00:17:31
fun so they basically ambushed U myumi
00:17:35
uh
00:17:36
and they asked her to get in the police
00:17:38
car and leave her kids behind we never
00:17:40
leave our kids Behind any place and
00:17:42
there were some cops there who knows
00:17:44
what questions they were asking my kids
00:17:45
they they took my wife off down to the
00:17:47
police station to ask her these
00:17:48
questions and so she separated from the
00:17:54
kids I'm worried about my kids you
00:17:58
worried about the kids
00:17:59
it's not because of
00:18:03
myself what the
00:18:10
word self
00:18:13
selfishness um I
00:18:16
wish I really wish one of us can stay
00:18:19
with the
00:18:20
kids but that you made it happen
00:18:25
Okay
00:18:27
well I can tell you did this much okay I
00:18:30
have no intention of separating you from
00:18:31
your children right now okay that's not
00:18:34
my goal here my goal here though is to
00:18:38
get you to tell the truth which it
00:18:39
sounds like you're doing okay um and
00:18:42
obviously there are going to be
00:18:43
consequences but I don't decide what
00:18:45
those consequences are but I want to be
00:18:48
able to go to the people who make those
00:18:50
decisions as long as you're telling me
00:18:52
everything you know I'm going to throw
00:18:55
that in that
00:18:56
mix and um they didn't even read her her
00:18:58
rights they didn't tell her that this
00:19:01
was an
00:19:02
investigation and if they did she
00:19:05
wouldn't know the difference anyway she
00:19:06
doesn't watch TV she doesn't understand
00:19:08
that she has to be read her rights
00:19:11
doesn't understand that and you knew
00:19:13
that he was somewhere in the house but
00:19:15
you didn't know he was up in the
00:19:17
attic I then asked her you knew he
00:19:21
referring to Falcon was hiding somewhere
00:19:23
in the home right Miami responded Yes
00:19:27
and you knew that he was somewhere in
00:19:29
the house but you didn't know he was up
00:19:31
in the
00:19:32
attic so who told Falcon where was
00:19:35
Falcon was Falcon in the
00:19:37
Attic uh which I really didn't know okay
00:19:41
where was
00:19:42
he it seems he was in the Attic you
00:19:46
assumed he was in the Attic no no I
00:19:48
didn't uh I didn't he was but I didn't
00:19:51
know about it okay way he was I
00:19:54
specifically asked her if her son Falcon
00:19:56
was really in the Attic entire time she
00:20:01
stated she thought he was but wasn't
00:20:09
sure did you guys build this for the
00:20:11
purpose of this hoax is that the whole
00:20:14
purpose of building it um hly this a um
00:20:19
experiment itself is not only for this
00:20:23
um to build I don't reg Mission 3D L um
00:20:31
invention in the future we want to bring
00:20:33
it up to that level okay so you do want
00:20:36
to have this be a legitimate experiment
00:20:39
and things like that I then turned my
00:20:41
attention to asking her whether they
00:20:43
built this craft specifically for the
00:20:46
purpose of this hoax to which she stated
00:20:49
he quotes her the experiment for this
00:20:51
type of craft is real in the future but
00:20:55
this craft was specifically built for
00:20:56
the hoax he quotes her he quotes her
00:21:00
listen to it she never said that that's
00:21:02
an allout lie this was fed to the media
00:21:05
this was told to the media that she
00:21:08
somehow admitted
00:21:11
this look this is from Kilmer
00:21:14
Lane Newman LLP okay my attorney put
00:21:18
this out there all right it says here
00:21:21
upon reviewing the evidence arguably
00:21:23
mumi could have possibly ended up being
00:21:25
deported and Richard could have
00:21:27
proceeded to trial and had a good chance
00:21:29
at an acquit this however would have put
00:21:33
the family at grave risk of seeing a
00:21:35
loving caring compassionate wife and
00:21:38
mother ripped from the family and
00:21:40
deported this was not an acceptable risk
00:21:43
thus these
00:21:44
pleas So what had happened was our
00:21:47
attorneys were talking to the
00:21:48
prosecutor's attorneys I never heard a
00:21:50
word of what was going on but our
00:21:52
attorneys told us that this was a huge
00:21:56
deal interrogating the Heeney
00:21:59
kids um Mimi's
00:22:02
attorney told the L County Sheriff
00:22:05
Department in a letter that they will
00:22:08
not interrogate our children because
00:22:11
under the law they cannot do that unless
00:22:13
the parents say that they can so the way
00:22:17
they get around this is they make a
00:22:19
false claim to
00:22:21
DHS that our kids are somehow may be
00:22:24
abused then they send a sheriff down
00:22:29
to write down the questions or ask the
00:22:31
questions to the person at DHS then they
00:22:34
walk out of a room enter the room where
00:22:36
the child is and ask them interrogating
00:22:39
questions how is that even legal how can
00:22:42
they do that so in this next clip you'll
00:22:46
see it Falcon tell me about the balloon
00:22:48
being for a TV show we did we never
00:22:51
wanted it to be a TV show
00:22:56
oh well why was there a balloon
00:22:59
we made it so we could hover over
00:23:01
traffic to hover over traffic uh listen
00:23:04
closely and uh you're going to hear the
00:23:06
deputy giving the questions to the woman

00:24:58
to cooperate in the investigation of
00:25:01
possible child neglect or abuse
00:25:04
involving the above named children by
00:25:06
producing a the children for an
00:25:09
interview with lmer County Human
00:25:10
Department of Services they didn't ask
00:25:12
them questions about safety the entire
00:25:15
questioning 2 and 1/2 hours per kid 7
00:25:18
and 1/2 hours we were away from our
00:25:21
kids they interrogated the kids about
00:25:24
the incident and had nothing to do with
00:25:26
it let hire I'm going to go back
00:25:29
down you know what I have a few more
00:25:32
questions for you okay so here's the
00:25:35
conclusion of the DHS I'm going to read
00:25:38
this to you according to the Department
00:25:40
of Human Services caseworker Jessica
00:25:42
link the department is not involved in
00:25:45
this matter they have no recommendation
00:25:48
and their assessment is closed so they
00:25:51
found nothing my kid told the truth they
00:25:54
could have walked away from it all right
00:25:55
then and there no they kept pressing
00:25:57
they kept coming after us they're
00:26:00
ruthless the vindictive Sheriff's
00:26:03
Department after Falcon made his pres
00:26:07
known uh detective
00:26:09
Hein looked at me and he said what are
00:26:11
you going to do about the Press well all
00:26:14
this time we were there we never even
00:26:15
watched the TV we had no clue what was
00:26:17
out of our front
00:26:18
door so uh he said yeah you got a bunch
00:26:21
of press out there you're going to have
00:26:22
to say something I said I'm not going to
00:26:24
say anything to anybody are you out of
00:26:26
your mind we just found our
00:26:28
okay he said well look at it this way
00:26:31
Richard if you don't say something
00:26:32
they're going to be out there for the
00:26:33
next two weeks hounding you so uh I had
00:26:36
to think about it for a bit and he was
00:26:38
kind of right because how am I going to
00:26:40
get to and from work I can't bring press
00:26:42
to my uh jobs
00:26:45
well uh then I told him I said okay fine
00:26:49
but would you come out with me to
00:26:51
detective uh or this investigator heon
00:26:54
he said no I can't but the sheriff is on
00:26:56
his way over he wants to stand out there
00:26:57
with you you that's what he said
00:27:00
verbatim I had to sit there and wait
00:27:02
until the sheriff showed up the sheriff
00:27:04
shows up he's out there stands out there
00:27:06
next to me during this uh press
00:27:09
conference he's the one that wanted the
00:27:11
media attention see through it see what
00:27:13
see it for what it really is after I do
00:27:16
my time they finally allow me to go get
00:27:20
the Flying Saucer okay and we're worried
00:27:23
that there's going to be media there we
00:27:25
go through the police uh we go through
00:27:28
the Sheriff's Office doors and there's a
00:27:30
bunch of cops there and one of them is
00:27:32
snapping off photographs in the lobby I
00:27:35
couldn't believe it so we asked we said
00:27:37
is this going to go out to the media you
00:27:39
know they said no this is just for our
00:27:41
records well lo and behold the next day
00:27:45
the woman snapping pictures writes a
00:27:47
sarcastic article and posts it up on the
00:27:49
blog and the media picks it up I'm quite
00:27:51
sure the heene have no idea how they
00:27:53
turn my life indeed the lives of many of
00:27:55
us upside down with their Antics heck
00:27:58
they don't even know who I am when
00:28:00
Richard and my youi Heeney picked up
00:28:03
their balloon for evidence I had my
00:28:05
camera she's bragging about it he is now
00:28:07
sporting a beard and a mustache she is
00:28:09
not they didn't like my taking photos
00:28:12
and actually I said I needed their
00:28:15
permission to do so they added they
00:28:17
didn't want their pictures in the papers
00:28:19
or on TV so I took only about
00:28:22
50 so this woman writes her nasty little
00:28:25
blur blurb about us and then there it is
00:28:28
photograph the Colorado one picked it up
00:28:31
and publicized it and of course Sheriff
00:28:33
alderon was involved as well
00:28:36
102209 he calls this article Up Up and
00:28:38
Away the bullseye or at least it was
00:28:40
taken off the site
00:28:42
then I sometimes have trouble figuring
00:28:44
out what to write about but not this
00:28:46
week some of you may have heard about a
00:28:50
little incident we had involving a
00:28:51
spaceship balloon a big balloon this
00:28:55
incident has given me ample fodder so
00:28:57
he's bragging the sheriff's bragging
00:28:59
they're all in it
00:29:01
together who wants the
00:29:03
Press final
00:29:06
thoughts they will stop at nothing to
00:29:09
get a
00:29:10
conviction especially if the media is
00:29:13
involved Tim Master's case was
00:29:16
high-profile in that it wasn't just
00:29:17
Colorado this was globally these guys
00:29:20
went home that evening and thought Oh my
00:29:22
God this is a high-profile
00:29:24
case this could accelerate our career we
00:29:27
got to find something we got assemble
00:29:28
something it took them three weeks to
00:29:32
find a charge there was no charge 3
00:29:35
weeks are digging around trying to find
00:29:37
a a suitable charge for
00:29:40
this think about that man so they had no
00:29:45
evidence that means they had to go
00:29:47
fabricate the evidence and this is why I
00:29:48
had to take the plea deal because in Tim
00:29:50
Master's case they fabricated stuff when
00:29:52
I saw that they started fabricating
00:29:54
evidence against me there's no way these
00:29:57
guys are going to let me go go so if I
00:29:59
fight it I know damn well I'm going down
00:30:01
the road four to 6
00:30:06
years we built that as a family
00:30:10
project and
00:30:15
um all [ __ ] hit the fan obviously Falcon
00:30:19
was in and out of that thing four times
00:30:22
throughout the
00:30:24
day I got video to prove it those
00:30:29
[ __ ] lied for their own political
00:30:32
gain at the expense of the heene
00:30:38
family I've have lost complete respect
00:30:41
for our judicial system and cops
00:30:45
alike and after looking at this if you
00:30:48
don't know that I'm telling the
00:30:54
truth I don't know what to do man
