The SUV was found approx 10 miles away from the home. The woman who called the police said the SUV had been there since "at least" Saturday. Her husband didn't really notice the SUV until his dog started barking at it.

The news just said that ^^^

They also said they had picked up Balfour approx 2 miles from the location of the SUV, at his girlfriend's house. That in itself is damning toward Balfour.

Thanks, guys. I wondered about the time line in regards to Balfour. We're not getting too much information about it on our news channels. (They're all over the senator found guilty thing!)

why did Balfour leave the mom and brother in the house and take the boy with him in the car? Did he kill boy in the house with mom and bro? or did he take boy alive and kill him later. This story has hit me in the gut. I cant imagine. God help that poor Mom through this. God bless her and Jennifer and the rest of the family. I hope Balfour rots in Hell

I don't think they have figured out a timeline yet. My guess is that Julian ran out after he saw the murders. Then Balfour chased and got and killed Julian and dumped the car/body kind of far away on a street where it would not be noticed for a while... Keep in mind, this is just my guess. Nothing has been reported to this effect...

I'm with Pamy on the "I hope Balfour rots in Hell" comment.

Gives us more reason to make sure WE don't see him there.

Here are a couple of paragraphs from a recent news report (link is the same is below):

A Chicago police spokeswoman, Monique Bond, confirmed that the boy, like his grandmother and uncle, had been shot. The medical examiner's office is expected to carry out an autopsy today (Tuesday).

He (Balfour) was not living with his estranged wife at the time of the shooting. The couple had recently fought because Mr Balfour had sold Ms Hudson’s car without her permission, according to local media reports.

Ms Hudson had reportedly encouraged her mother to leave Englewood, the gritty South Side neighbourhood where she grew up, and where her mother had lived for two decades, but her mother had steadfastly refused.

The singer was the one to identify the bodies of her mother and brother over the weekend. (She also identified Julian.)

Jennifer Hudson, the 27-year-old Oscar-winning singer and actress, last night positively identified the body of her 7-year-old nephew, bringing a tragic end to a frantic three-day search.

The boy, Julian King, was found in the back of an abandoned SUV on Chicago’s West Side.

It is believed that he was shot by the same gunman who blasted his way into the home of Ms Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donerson, on Friday. The body of Ms Donerson was found in the home immediately after the shooting, along with that of the singer’s brother, Jason Hudson, 29. It was initially hoped that Julian—the son of Ms Hudson’s sister, Julian—had escaped and would be found traumatised but alive.

Ms Hudson, a one-time reject from American Idol, became a national heroine in 2006 after winning the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in the musical blockbuster Dreamgirls.

On Sunday, she offered a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her nephew. The Oscar-winning star used her website and MySpace page to post photographs of her nephew and plead for his return.

In one picture, the smiling boy was seen cuddling with his grandmother. “That's how close they were,” Ms Hudson wrote in a caption. In other comments, she described him as being “not the size of an average seven-year old" and of having “a baby face."

Hopefully, before that creep ever gets to HELL, prison justice will take care of him.

i guess it's more dramatic to go from reject to national heroine, but really? reject? good grief!

i am in the rot in hell camp too!

Well, I guess the neighborhood they lived in is irrelevant in regard to this story. What is relevant is the choices that we women make when we are getting involved with bad men. This man read like bad news. What a high price Ms. Hudson's sister is having to pay for making a bad choice. I wish we could do a better job of teaching our daughters to NOT get involved with this type of bad man! But when we are younger we tend to make stupid choices (I know I did!). I feel so sad for both of these young women.

I just do not understand why people have to kill inocent children. Can't they pick on someone their own age?

I know what you mean Roxip... life truly is all about choices and nothing beats prevention.

This is a high price indeed. My heart goes out to her.

I remember he had a little violent episode on ILNY2 where he flipped over a table out of anger. That's about all I can guess it means.


Here's what I came here about. TMZ is reporting that the suspected murderer, Balflour, has a father who is also a murderer, currently serving 30 years.

What makes me sick is that Balfour supposedly had a June drug arrest, but wasn't re-imprisoned for parole violation then. Had he been back in jail, none of this would have happened.
