The Heene family is seen on CBS' "The Early Show," on Friday, Oct. 16, 2009. The story that Falcon, second from right, had floated away in a giant helium balloon was a hoax concocted to land a reality television show, authorities said Sunday, and the parents will likely face felony charges. A lawyer representing the Heene parents said late Sunday that his clients are willing to turn themselves in to face any charges.
