Balloon Brood's Greatest Hits: Listen to 911 Calls
ABC
When Mayumi Heene called 911 last Thursday, it wasn't the first time those three digits were dialed from Balloon Boy's household in 2009.
In February, someone called and hung up. The Larimer County, Colo., Sheriff's Office attempted to call back twice, but only got Richard Heene's answering machine message and hung up.

Three months later, the Ft. Collins Police Department Dispatch received another hang-up call from the Heene home. The Sheriff's Office again tried to call back, and again reached a machine—but this time, however, they left a message.

On Aug. 6, 2009, the helium-happy Richard Heene made the call to alert law enforcement of an alleged "threat" made against his family by "a guy that works for another guy that cosigned a loan for me on my vehicle."

"I'm supposed to talk to somebody about an incident that occurred yesterday," he says. "I was made an indirect threat. We feel like we've been threatened, a guy was running around the house late last night after the threat and then, this morning, there was two suspicious-looking characters doing things that are just not conducive to what I know about construction work in front of the house. They painted a line and they were just looking at the house, measuring with a stupid wheel roller thing, and they had no ID with them."
Perhaps shady characters attract shady characters?
