On Jennifer Hudson’s MySpace blog she writes:
"Thank you all for your prayers and your calls. Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely," the blog entry said. "If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately ... Once again thank you all for being there for us through this tough time."
King has been missing since the Friday afternoon murders of his grandmother and uncle. A suspect William Balfour has been called “a person of interest” by the Chicago Police but has not been charged. The Chicago Police have since turned Balfour over to the Illinois State Police on charges of parole violation.
It was around 2:44pm CST that a relative walked into Darnell Donersons’ home on Chicago’s South Side and discovered her dead from multiple gunshot wounds. The relative then backed out of the home and ran for help. Neighbors would later tell investigators they heard gunshots around 9AM that same morning.
The police arrived and made a gruesome discovery: Jennifer Hudson’s brother, Jason 29, had also been murdered. Witnesses stated they saw a black male leaving the residence with 7 year old Julian King. That black male was William Balfour.
It is not known what Balfour has shared with authorities about the killings and the whereabouts of the missing 7 year old. Julia King, Julian’s mother made a passionate plea for the return of her child.
The connection of Balfour to the family can best be told by William Balfour’s MySpace page. He states he is married to Julia King and that Julian is his son.
It was later learned that Julian is stepson and that Balfour and Julia are separated. At this time Julian King has not been found and the police still believe the case is “domestic related.”
"I Know Your Heart"
I Know Your Heart Is Sad
So Many Things Have Happened That Are Bad
But, I Know You Are Strong
Don't Let The Pain........Do You Wrong
You Are A True Survivor Of This Universe
Our Trials And Tribulations Are Not A Curse
Life Takes Us Through Changes
Each And Everyday
But, If You Give Your Life To Our Father God
He Will Help You..........Along The Way
This Is Something That I've Learned
And I Pass It On To You
Because, When I Talk To GOD
I Know He Hears Me Too!
You Have Been Hurting Inside, So Long
And....As Time Moves On
The Pain Will No Longer Be So Strong
Because, I Know You Will Be Okay...
Even...........If Not Today....
