Oh No....Jennifer Hudson's nephew - They found a childs body

According to Chicago's Sun-Times, a small body was found Friday morning (October 24) hours before reports of Hudson's mother and brother being fatally shot were made. The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office are still reviewing the corpse to confirm the identity.

As previously reported by SOHH, the singer's seven year-old nephew, Julian King, was announced announced missing and police believe his stepfather, William Balfour, may be behind his disappearance. The city issued an Amber Alert to find the boy.

Her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were discovered murdered in the family's Chicago home on Friday. Balfour was arrested hours after the discovery and is being considered the prime suspect.

He has been childhood friends with the Hudson family and married Hudson's sister, Julia, in 2006. Balfour also has a criminal background including pleading guilty in 1999 to attempted murder and vehicular hijacking, in which he served seven years behind bars, before being release in 2006.

Stay tuned to SOHH as the story develops.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: It was him...But they said something about the white suburban had been there since Saturday but her BIL has been in custody since Friday so it seems like maybe he had friend...

Kentuckychick replied: How unbelievably awful

My dad said this morning how maybe, just maybe because it was the dad who was suspected of kidnapping the child... then maybe he was safe.

How horrible that anyone could do anything to harm a child.

mckayleesmom replied:
It was his stepdad though.....Alot of stepkids are like nothing to a person when their parent ends the relationship unfortunantly.

oh... nm... I thought it was his dad...

mckayleesmom replied:
His real dad was with Julia Hudson at the conference when she pleaded for his safe return.

luvmykids replied: The article on msn said the body was found today at 7am?

My heart breaks for both her and her sister. I can't imagine having to identify the bodies

mckayleesmom replied:
It seems like most of the reports say the body was found at a different time

luvmykids replied:
I've only seen articles talking about the SUV being discovered today, which is very sad if there was another childs body found Friday morning.... but the thing that doesn't make sense is what Abbie said, who drove it there Saturday after his step dad got arrested? I don't know whats worse, the fact that someone he knew did this to him, or that someone else was sick enough to get involved instead of trying to help Julian
