Boy’s Body Discovered in SUV, Most Likely Julian King

The sad story of Jennifer Hudson’s family being murdered just keeps getting grimmer.

A white SUV was discovered by police on Chicago’s West Side, the Suburban is among the vehicles police have been searching for since the killings last Friday.

A young boy’s body was found inside. Police have not yet positively identified the body, but it is thought to be Julian King, Jennifer Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew.

Police have issued the following statement:

“At approximately 7:06 A.M. a 1994 White Chevrolet Suburban bearing Illinois license plate X584859 and identified in the Amber Alert was located at 1313 S. Kolin. A body was discovered inside the Suburban, in the rear seat of the vehicle. Identification of the body will be made by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office following their examination. The vehicle is being processed for evidence and the investigation remains on-going.”

Hudson put up $100,000 for the safe return of her nephew this weekend.

I glanced over Julian’s mother’s MySpace page this weekend and it is obvious that she and the suspect, William Balfour, were very, very close. She had photos of him, names him as her first best friend – only behind her mother, and in a questionnaire, says of all her friends, William is the one to ‘Most Likely Go to Jail’.

So sad.
