Prosecutors said Tuesday they haven’t decided whether to file charges against the parents accused of falsely reporting their son was in a runaway balloon, sparking a massive rescue attempt before the boy was found at the family’s Fort Collins home.
Also, the father’s attorney, David Lane, announced Tuesday that a special prosecutor has been named to review his complaint concerning the Larimer County sheriff investigating Richard and Mayumi Heene.
Lane wrote a letter to the district attorney Monday asking for an investigation and prosecution of Sheriff Jim Alderden. He said Tuesday that Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett will investigate his complaint. A call to the Larimer Sheriff’s Office was not immediately returned Tuesday. The Associated Press
