Mayumi Heen is Falcon ‘Balloon Boy’ Heene’s mother.
She is from Gunma, Japan.
Maiden Name: Mayumi Iizuka
She has the same name as the Japanese pop singer.
Some thought she may be Filipino because ‘mayumi’ is a Tagalog word that means modest. In Japanese, ‘mayumi’ means true bow (archery).
It is not confirmed whether Mayumi Heene has anything to do with the hoax of the weather balloon flying away with Falcon.
The police are also investigating if Mayumi is a victim of domestic violence.
