The Sad & Tragic Events of the Hudson Family...

Jennifer Hudson has clearly been living the American dream since her debut to the world on American Idol some 5 years ago. Unfortunately for the budding singer/starlet that dream was completely shattered this past Friday... At 3pm on Friday afternoon, Hudson's brother, Jason Hudson,29, and mother, Darnell Hudson, 57, were found shot and dead in their Chicago home. Her seven-year-old nephew, Julian King, was missing from the scene... His body was found this morning in a white SUV that had an Amber Alert on it. Jennifer has ID'ed the body and it is indeed her nephew. Julian is the son of Jennifer's sister Julia Hudson.

The homicides are being deemed "domestic" because there is no clear motive (as far as robbery or sexual assault) in the case. William Balfour (Julia's estranged ex-husband) is a prime suspect. He was taken into the authorities this weekend, and is being held on a parole violation. He served 7 years for attempted murder, vehicular hi-jacking, and possesing a stolen vehicle.

This case is sad, horrific, vile and tragic. Jennifer is a strong talented woman, with a beautiful spirit, and it is a shame that her and her family have been put through this sheer and utter torture. Our prayers and best-wishes go out to the Hudson family, and I hope this cowardly, cold-hearted fool gets caught and thrown under the jail for 10 lifetimes. I'm disgusted.
