Richard: We had believed 100% that he was on board.
Wolf: And Falcon was really in the garage this whole time. I don’t know if Falcon can hear me but cause I know at some point he fell asleep in that garage but he was hiding out because he thought you were going to punish him for something that happened earlier in the day. Did he hear anything? Did he hear you screaming out Falcon, Falcon?
Richard: He’s asking Falcon did you hear us calling your name at any time?
Falcon: …
Richard: You did?
Mother: You did?
Richard: Well why didn’t you come out?
Falcon: Um, you said that we did this for a show.
Richard: You didn’t come out?
Falcon: No.
Wolf: I heard what he said it wasn’t really clear. What was his reasoning why he heard you screaming Falcon, Falcon and I’m sure he heard his mom screaming Falcon, Falcon, but why didn’t he come out of the garage at that point.
Richard: Whenever we tell him things like it’s a bad thing to do. He cowls down…like if we go to a store and he wants to buy some candy or something I have to tell him no. He’s always behind; all the other boys are always telling him hurry Falcon, hurry. So he does tend to do that.
Wolf: Did you think…did you think it was possible that Falcon was just hiding out this time and was not necessarily on board that balloon.
Mother: We searched any place even small drawers, possibly if he can fit in any part of house and we couldn’t find him. Also we searched his friends houses, he might be visiting. We went through possible any places.
