"Balloon boy" parents want to sell balloon

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) - June 1, 2011

TMZ.com posted the video in which /*Richard Heene*/ and /*Mayumi Heene*/ say they'll work with California lawyer Perry Rausher on the auction.

Rausher confirmed to the Coloradoan he is working with the Heenes.

The Heenes' son wasn't inside the balloon when it floated away in 2009. Mayumi Heene served 20 days in jail for filing a false report. Richard Heene served 30 days in jail for a felony count of attempting to influence a public servant.
