FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - Police have released a 911 call they received from a Colorado couple who told authorities they believed their 6-year-old son had floated away in a giant helium balloon.
The audio released Wednesday is of Richard and Mayumi Heene talking to a police dispatcher before being transferred to a Larimer County dispatcher. Audio from that call was released last week.
A breathless Richard Heene says he called the Federal Aviation Administration and then 911, saying his son got inside the experimental craft before it took off. A dispatcher asks to talk to his wife, who says her other son thought he saw his brother inside. She can be heard crying.
The boy was later found at the family's Fort Collins home.
Sheriff Jim Alderden says it was a hoax, which Richard Heene has denied.
