Records show that Balfour has listed Hudson’s mother’s address as a place of residence within the last year and is currently on parole after serving jail time for attempted murder.

The boy, identified as Julian King, Hudson’s nephew, was wearing a tan jersey with the number 5 on it and tan slacks.

Update:

According to TMZ.com:

The suspect, William Balfour, has been taken into custody. Hudson’s nephew, 7-year-old Julian King is still missing, according to WFLD-Chicago. Balfour is refusing to cooperate with cops or supply info.

Jennifer and Familey

My heart goes out to you and your sister in your lost and my prayer will be with you that God will give you and your sister the strength you need. As someone whose has lost a Mother and a Son I cannot say that I know how you feel because I don”t. My lost was not as your lost. All I can say is that as time goes on it will get better but you will never forget your loves ones whom you lost in such an unforgettable way. Just know that there is millions of people out there who love you and your familey and we are praying for you.

Love

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer,
I am very sorry to hear what happened to your mother, brother and nephew, just wanted to send my condolences. I do know the pain of losing your love ones because i have been through that on more than one ocassion and believe me it is hard to let go but all you have to do is just have faith in God and you would eventually get through it day by day. They would always be with you and the love you have for them will never go, but God works in such a wonderful way that one day we all will meet again the living and the dead and we will eventually see our love ones again. LOVE YOUR FAN



T K Said on

Oh, words can not take away the pain i imagine you are feeling right now. I know you have heard this over a million times during this time, but it is the only way I know how to express the sorrow that i feel for your family, THEY ARE IN A BETTER PLACE. I am now sitting here with my heart hurting because like i said I cant imagine the mental and emotional stress you are going thru. LORD, I just had to say that because as i write this to you i am also praying for you and GOD has just filled my heart with joy, he has put on my heart that you and your sister now only have each other and that the both of you together will shine, and your mother is watching and will be proud. So I say to you take it one day at a time, and do what you have to do to keep you strong, and before you know it you will be in married bliss. With Love from my heart.

I have been wanting to leave a message to you Jennifer since this all happened but I was lost for words. I have been a fan for a long time and I think very highly of you so my heart goes out to you. I pray this doesn’t deter you from your dreams and that you gather enough strength to continue in your endeavours. God Bless you and your family.

Dear Hudson Family,

I can say – BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT! You are in my prayers and forever in my heart. Please know that your test will become a testimony!

Sometimes God calms the storm and other times – HE allows the storm to rage and calms HIS child. Wherever you are and whatever emotion you are dealing with – DEAL WITH IT!

There are no rules, policies or guidelines for RECOVERY. Just know that HE is LORD, HE loves you and HE will never forsake you!

I love you guys and I praying for you! When the calls stop and the crowds are no longer in sight – CALL HIM!



Vonda M. Bell (Alabama) Said on

Correction: I am praying for you!

I have cried for hours; sometimes days!

I have walked the floor at the 3, 4, 5 or 6am.

I experienced sleepless nights for almost a year. Yes, babygirl – I’ve been through storms, floods and fire. Friends and loved ones walked out on me when I needed them most!

My husband couldn’t understand nor accept my grief! I bless GOD because HE kept my mind when I wanted to GIVE UP LIFE! The tragedies were mindblowing and extremely overwhelming.

Jennifer and Julia, it took everything in me to KEEP MY HAND IN HIS HANDS!



V. M. Holman-Bell Said on

He doesn’t love me any more than HE loves you guys! Stay on your knees and I can assure you – HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH!

One more thing sisters, AS LONG AS YOU LIVE – YOUR LOVED ONES WILL NEVER DIE. Miss them, but please let them go and one day – you will look back on these untimely events.

You will have peace and say – LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE!

President Obama, First Lady Michelle and I love you and we are praying for immediate comfort!
