Celebrity Justice
Hudson Murders - "Trouble in the Marriage"

The hunt for Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew continues to intensify. And we're told the operating theory among Chicago detectives is an "ongoing domestic dispute" between the suspect, William Balfour, and his estranged wife, Julia Hudson.

Chicago cops would not be more specific, other than to tells us there is an "underlying domestic aspect" to the investigation ... that there was "trouble in the marriage."

We're told cops continue to interview people, but no one other than Balfour is in custody. As for Balfour, so far no charges have been filed.

Chicago cops are now using flyers with Julian King's pic to find the missing boy.

The boy hasn't been seen since the bodies of Hudson's mother and brother were found Friday in her home in the South side of Chicago. The two had been shot to death.

The police will be handing out the flyers today all over Chicago, particularly on the South side.

108. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND - WHY HAVE THIS GUY IN CUSTODY, AND NO CHARGES YET.

THEY WOULD NOT BE HOLDING HIM IF THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE HE WAS SOMEHOW INVOLVED, WITH THE MURDERS AND THE MISSING CHILD.

WHY DOESN'T HE COME CLEAN AND TELL AUTHORITIES WHAT HAPPENED?

IF THERE IS YET ANOTHER INVOLVED IN THIS - THEY NEED TO COME FORWARD, THEY NEED TO RELEASE THE INNOCENT CHILD!!! SAFELY, TO AUTHORITIES.

THE POOR HUDSON FAMILY. HAVEN'T THEY BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH ALREADY. IF THE CHILD IS OUT THERE - HE SHOULD BE RELEASED - AND RELEASED SAFELY - SO HE CAN HAVE A LIFE/CHILDHOOD.

110. THIS IS HUGE IN CHICAGO!

WHY HASN'T BARACK OBAMA ADDRESSED THIS - IN ANY FASHION?

ISN'T CHICAGO HIS HOMETOWN?

HAS HE LOST TOUCH W/THE PEOPLE IN CHICAGO. THE PEOPLE HE SUPPOSIVELY REPRESENTS?

EVEN IF OBAMA WINS - I WILL NOT ATTEND HIS VICTORY CELEBRATION IN CHICAGO.

HOW CAN HE IGNORE - THE PEOPLE HE RESPRESENTS.
HE ISN'T PRESIDENT JUST YET.
YET HE ACTS AS IF HE HAS WON ALREADY.

WHY DOESN'T HE COME BACK DOWN TO EARTH AND START CARING ABOUT CHICAGO ?

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE PEOPLE OF CHICAGO?
THIS HORRIBLE CRIME?
HOPE THIS IS NOT THE PICTURE OF WHAT IS TO COME - IF HE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT. FORGETTING THE LITTLE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE WOES.
SHAME ON YOU OBAMA FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS CRIME IN CHICAGO!!
AND FOR NOT TRYING TO HELP FIND THE CHILD.
MY VOTE MAY CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

111. The people on here lack the common sense the good lord gave them.

1) Jennifer cannot make her family move. There are many celebrities whose families decide not to move away from their home.
2) Even if they did move, the suspect would have moved right along with them. He was afterall Julia's husband.
3) How much money do you think Jennifer has after only two movies and a couple of CD's? After taxes and paying people, she is not loaded. Not this early in her career.
4) Tragedies like this happen in Hollywood as well as South Side Chicago. Look up Phil Hartman and Charles Manson.

112. I think Jennifer should concentrate on getting her sister some help with her weight or she will be dead from a heart attack in a year. The 7 year old is morbidly obese, my god 130lbs at 7 years old!!!!!! He weighs more than I do and I'm 45.

113. Has anyone else wondered whether william had stolen the Julia's car cause he needed the money for his new babymama? the story is that he was found at his newly pregnant girlfriends house, it's just sounding worse by the minute for him, i'm very sorry for the family and julia, she says on her myspace she has no regrets in life, i think she may now though. I hope and pray they find the little boy alive and well and that they get through this tragedy and that the person involved gets their justice.

114. People should stop involving Jennifer in this, this is not her problem, it has been said on other sites that she did want to move her family out of that part of town but her mother insisted they stay there and didn't want to move, maybe she wanted to stay in the community she was familiar with, she obviously did not feel threatened to be there. As the police say, this seems to be a domestic dispute and if they had moved the problem would still have been there. I am sure if the family wanted to move they would have as has been reported already, so people stop with blaming Jennifer, as far as i can see she has nothing to do with this tragedy.

115. He looks like a gangbanger in search of a meal ticket, and she is a fat woman who needs a man, any man. Hope they find the little boy, but Julia needs to do a LOT of soul searching about her choices in men.

You my friend have hit the nail on the head. I just moved from one area to another because the black youth of the neighborhood were vandalizing peoples property, standing in the street and not getting out of the way for traffic, (I tried hitting one but missed) :( Mothers couldn't take their kids to the park because the teenaged black kids drop the f-bomb like it's going out of style. Their parents must be REALLY proud. Oh wait I mean their grandparents!
