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.

61. My Five Cents, Ha Ha! Please do not twist my words! I think he IS a criminal and I think he IS perfectly capable of commiting this crime. I just think that he is innocent UNTIL proven guilty and there is not enough evidence to convict him right now. I am not saying he didn't do it or that he wasn't capable of doing it. I am only saying that no one knows if he did it or had any involvment.

You should really join the police force the way I see you you just about have the case solved. Wow and good points! The truth hurts but we have to hear it!

63. The police found the cocaine on the SEAT OF THE CAR NEXT TO WHERE HE WAS SITTING!! It wasn't stashed in the glovebox or under the seat, he KNEW it was there....morons. If you were to open your front door and see someone laying on the floor in a pool of blood and hear nothing would you prance on in to use the phone or INTELLIGENTLY assume that the perpetrator might very well still be inside so you immediately leave to use a phone elsewhere?

64. I am torn, one minute I say he did it and another I feel Julia is/was involved and believe they both sis something. I don’t believe he did it all by himself.

I am a mother and if I walked in my home and see a body on the floor I would forget fear catch an adrenaline rush and go through out the whole house screaming my kids names! I wouldn't care if the murderer was in the house or not, as a mother I would have that hope that I just might interrupt the murderer. Distract the murderer from attacking my child to harm me instead! I don’t think I would walk out of that house! I hope she wasn’t involved. I also agree, fine you want to myspace but darn, take his butt off of your friends list.

I agree with you and you made some great points. Also don't forget within hours of hearing her son was shot twice in the head she was sitting on her myspace. She also has comments on her myspace something about a questionnaire asking if she wants kids and her saying if she wants him or not the sh!t is here.

Exactly, I read that. WTF!? want kids: "Wheter I wanted him or not his a** is here" Wow! Are you serious!? I mean I know myspacers say/do things for fun but to log in after all this is crazy! Wouldn't you change everything down to the surveys and layouts for your son and take the guy off your site?

67. I BET U SHE IS INVOLVED.

68. I'm so sick of people defending the different ways to grieve. It is NOT normal to hang out on myspace adding friends, when your son is missing and your mother/brother have been murdered. It IS normal to be out looking for your son. And saying she used myspace to hopefully get her son located? HOW?! How is adding friends on myspace helping your son be found? OTHER people, not her, changed their profile pics, their headings, etc., to mention Julian. She did neither of those things. She has time to add friends, but no time to change her profile pic to her son's pic? Or to change her heading to mention her son?
And don't even get me started about the press conference? her mother did everything, he was more like a brother, she can't be bothered to care for her own son, SHE COMPLAINS ABOUT HER BIRTHDAY BEING RUINED. seriously?! oh, poor thing, you've been inconvenienced, haven't you?! who the hell says that?! what a self-centered, trashy-acting person. seriously. Things are just not adding up. And, though she might not have anything to do it....I hope she does some soul-searching. I can't believe how incredibly self-centered this person is. seriously. complaining about your birthday. she should be grateful she had a nite out with him before he was murdered. it's her last memory. that, and of handing off her kid when she walks in the door so she can go to bed, and her mother can stay up late at nite caring for her son, since she can't be bothered to do it herself.

69. #52 u made ALOT of good points ....I have all along thought he did it and had someone help..there is no way he could have done this himself...."WHO" is the question ....I still feel like Julia had some knowledge of this...she might not have pulled the trigger BUT she knows something...as for Balfours mother OMG she is such a nut job....williams father is in prison for murder ...william was in prison for attempted murder...ummmm dont u think he is capable of MURDER now? geez come on......stands up and applauds Nancy Grace for stopping her ...Balfours mother thought SHE was going to run the show....u can tell what kind of ppl they are....sounds like she has anger prob too

70. Does anyone but me think Julia might have staged this so that she could blame William, since he is know for this kind of thing

71. Thanks Joann for condensing my message,
If any of you are members of other blogs and agree with what I've said (post#55), please copy and paste it. It's important that this gets out there. I'm afraid we've been concentrating on the most "obvious" suspect, while the real one is blogging on her Myspace. It's good to see that others agree with me. This has nothing to do with Julia, and EVERYTHING to do with Julian King.

72. Yes Adrienne,
I've thought of that a few times.
