New and Shocking Details In Hudson Triple Homicide

So far, all eyes have been on William Balfour-- estranged ex-husband of Jennifer Hudson's sister. Now, The Chicago Tribune has some lurid details about the hours leading up to the murders, and that shady-character Balfour's whereabouts. Apparently he was a no-show to a meeting with his parole officer scheduled for that same day:

Records also show that Balfour missed a meeting with his parole agent on Friday, the day Hudson’s mother and brother were murdered and her 7-year-old nephew went missing. Reached by phone that afternoon, he told the agent he was “baby-sitting on the West Side of Chicago,” according to the documents, obtained by The Associated Press.

The agent said he thought he heard a child in the background during the call.

Hudson’s nephew, Julian King, was found shot to death in the back of an SUV on Chicago’s West Side on Monday. Julian and his mother, Julia Hudson, shared a home with Hudson’s mother, 57-year-old Darnell Donerson, and brother, 29-year-old Jason Hudson, who also died of gunshot wounds.

Disgusting. And to add fuelt o the flames, it seems liek Balfour comes from a family of blood-thirsty criminals. Check out what Chicago Tribune says about that:

William Balfour — the “person of interest” in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew — isn’t the first Balfour to run afoul of the law. Balfour’s father is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence for murder. His brother served time for drug dealing. Balfour himself has served time for attempted murder and carjacking. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Balfour was a member of the Gangster Disciple Street Gang. Also according to court docs, Balfour told the judge back in 1999 he had a good relationship with his mother until “she gets an attitude.”

Madness. More on the tragedy as it develops...
