The Body of Jennifer Hudson's Nephew is Found

Posted on October 27, 2008 - 2:26pm by loretta A young boy's body was found this morning in the back of a white Chevy Suburban in Chicago.  It's believed to be the body of 7-year-old Julian King, Jennifer Hudson's nephew, although examiners are still working on confirmation of the identity.  Julian has been missing since Friday;  this morning someone placed a phone call to police about a suspicious auto.  Police arrived on the west side of Chicago at about 7 a.m. and discovered the body.



Our hearts go out to the Hudson family, who have had a devastating and forever life-altering weekend.

Hudson lost her mother and brother to homicide on Friday--their bodies were found gunned down in their Chicago home; upon this discovery, the family then learned of Julian's disappearance.  Hudson and her sister, Julian's mom, we're hoping for the best outcome with Julian--pleading on news networks for his safe return and offering a $100,000 reward.

It saddens me to a great degree that the murderer did not spare the child's life.  When this story was first breaking on Friday, I was hoping it was another one of those horrible death rumors that had been circulated in the media like with Miley, Oprah, and Lil Wayne's daughter.  The blow was devastating enough when it became known that the double murders of her mother and brother we're true; but, now to also learn that she has lost her nephew is beyond devastating.  I don't know how people get through tragedies of this enorminity.  Hopefully Jennifer and her sister, Julia, can find some degree of comfort and solace from their remaining family and friends.
