The parents of “Balloon Boy” have been reunited with their balloon. The Larimer County Sheriff’s office has returned the balloon to Richard Heene and his wife Mayumi. The sheriff’s office says the dad asked to measure the balloon to make sure it was the same one he launched last October. The family had falsely told authorities their 6-year-old son was in the balloon after the launch. Richard Heene has completed a 90-day jail sentence for his plea of falsely influencing authorities. His wife was sentenced to 10 weekends working at nonprofits for filing a false report. The family has agreed to pay $36,000 in restitution to agencies that responded to the hoax.
