Hudson Killings -- Did Balfour Have Help?

There's evidence this morning suggesting there may have been another person involved in the murder of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew.

Investigators have honed in on William Balfour's movements after the killings on Chicago's South Side, according to the Chicago Tribune, and "are trying to determine" if someone else drove the prime suspect to the West Side, where the body of 7-year-old Julian King was found.

Witnesses have told cops they saw Balfour drive a teal Chrysler to the Hudsons' block on Friday morning, and that car was eventually found about a mile away. The SUV in which Julian was discovered ended up about 13 miles away from the Hudson house.

32. Thank you TMZ for your updates! I am absolutely disgusted the media and papers are not covering this more (I'm in NYC.) The damn media covered the death of Anna Nicole, Madonna's adoption of the Malawin child AND NOW HER DIVORCE, and Angelina Jolie's pregnancy daily!!! With the exception of Anna Nicole WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT THIS!!! This is an absolute tragedy of what happened to Hudson's family. I am certainly not into the whole white and black nonsense, but I DEFINITELY HAVE TO WONDER is it not being covered because they were a poor black family from Chicago???? Thanks again TMZ for the updates on this tragedy. God willing they confirm who committed this horrific acts and they burn in HELL!!!!

35. Sad to say but I think Julia is in on it as well and when Jennifer finds out the truth she just may disown the final immediate family member that she has left on this earth.

I find it strange that Jennifer had to go both times to the ME's office and identify the body. Why didn't Julia go and identify her son? I know that a mother in mourning is a difficult state to be in but by God I would want to see my child no matter what. I would probably show more emotion then she has as well.

Overall this is a very, very, very sad story.

36. I don't think Balfour did it. This case is so high profile the cops will do anything to pin it on him and close the case.

37. Wow, this whole thing is just so nasty and horrifying. People trying to cover up for a murderer, making excuses for criminal behavior! 3 people DEAD including a 7-year old child. How horribly sad. I am fascinated by this whole thing. I feel so much sadness for the loss of little Julian. It sounds like where they come from all of Balfour's criminal activity was accepted! What the heck do I know? What the heck do any of us know? They lived in a very different world there. I just hope the police figure it all out and get the person or persons who are responsible for this horror. In the meantime, my heart breaks for the innocent.

38. I noticed all the people talking about Nancy Grace last night are trash talking Balfour and his mother but are conveniently leaving out the commentator that said it is obvious to her the police evidence doesn't fit that Balfour did it. She said when she spoke to the the police and the medical examiners office they couldn't get their story straight because their evidence doesn't add up.
