"Getting this child down is the biggest concern."


The story which elevated its cast members into the limelight.


"This setting is really mouldering 1 along."


"Aready it dropped."


A two-part saga 2 which has slowly deflated 3 or unraveled for the Heene family. The father of six-year-old, Falcon 4 Heene, has denied claims that the incident watched by audiences live across the world was a hoax 5. Authorities at first claim Falcon's parent show genuine distress 6 as emergency services sprang into action. Their efforts to rescue the family sky-bound contraption in which they thought Falcon was trapped cost an estimated 50,000 dollars. After further questioning, Larimer County Sheriff forced to admit something was amiss and that criminal charges were likely. And now court documents made public in America reveal Falcon's mother Mayumi admits a hoax. Documents publish by a newspaper website The Coloradoan stating that their motive 7 was to make the family more marketable for media interest. The interest, so far, apart from the family's previous television appearances on reality TV shows like "Wife Swap 8", has seen them all toying under the spotlight 9, but it seems not all publicity 10 is good publicity. Mayumi and her husband Richard could face charges of conspiracy 11, lying to authorities and contributing to the delinquency of a minor 12. The charges could result in a six-year prison sentence and hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines.
