Report: Julian's Body Covered, Hidden

196. If Julians body was indeed covered it makes me wonder if he wasnt truly hidden to hide him but if he was covered up as some sick and twisted last act of love by someone who was "supposed" to be very close to him!
Remember when Andrea Yates laid her kids on the bed and covered them after she drowned them?
Even that crazy Susan Smith strapped her 2 little ones in car seats and then rolled them into a like.
The authorities need to pick at every little detail in this case!
I believe that its going to be the tiniest clue that will break this case wide open!
I truly hope and pray that Julia didnt do this to her only son "who she carried for 81/2 months under her heart"!!!

197. Does anybody remember hearing this?
Balfour's girlfriend contradicted his alibi and told police that he was involved in the slayings.

And, I didn't know that Julia didn't go to identify Julian's body.
"The identification came from Hudson. “She said, ‘Yes, that is him,’ according to Sean Howard, a spokesman for the Cook County medical examiner’s office. “Jennifer Hudson was incredbly strong for her family, she was leader in that group and kept her composure.

“She felt like the Lord and saviour Jesus Christ was going to get her through that,” Howard added. “Those were her words.”

Julian’s mother was not there, he said.

198. My heart really goes out to Jennifer. I don't know if Julia was involved or not, for some reason I just can't see her agreeing to have her family murdered. I also don't believe that the child was killed immediately, I think others were involved and killed him when they didn't know what else to do. I do know this -3 people are dead and we don't know why or who really did it. There have been some interesting post on here. One in particular was very interesting. Asking why Balfour would do this and then just sit at his girlfriends house. I also think it is strange that the SUV and the gun were found so close together, strange. All the rivers in Chicago, you'd think it would have been thrown in a river somewhere. It looks like whoever tossed that gun wanted it to be found. I hope the funeral isn't marred by onlookers and media and I also hope that this tragedy will be solved soon. My biggest hope is that Jennifer in due time will carry on with her career. I don't expect to see her in the public eye for awhile but I hope she can come back from this. I pray for her.

199. 194. When I read a couple of days ago that Julian's hand was severed before he was murdered, something came over me that was both unfamiliar and frightening....

200. TMZ--do you monitor these forums at all? For God sake the racist comment by poster number 2 "Reality" should have been removed immediately. It's offensive and inappropriate and completely out of place in a forum discussing a tragedy, especially one involving an innocent child. Have some decency on behalf of the yahoos ou there who don't and remove racist sleazeball comments from your boards.

202. I've seen several postings here making reference to Julian's hand being cut off. But I haven't seen this mentioned in any of the news stories here in Chicago, or heard it from any police sources involved with this case. Was there a news article with this information somewhere?

204. To 304 - Thanks! I should have guessed that the National Enqurer would be the ones to come up with something like this.

To #305 - That's what first made me think there were some inconsistencies in the story. Though there's been some debate here about what a parent's first response might be (whether we should have expected Julia to run through the house to look for her child, or whether the more prudent response of waiting for police to arrive to conduct the seach for her child and brother was the better course of action) I still haven't seen any ideas suggested that would explain why anyone in this situation would LEAVE the area (knowing mother was dead, but still not knowing the status of child and brother who lived in the house) and go to the police station (more than a mile away) to file a "missing persons report." One wonders if one of the "inconsistencies" that police found in the cell phone records indcate that the first report. made before 3 P.M. on the day of the home invasion, was actually made from that area or from somewhere else.

207. Why would Julia go into that house period if there was a bullet hole in the door?
Remember she was "supposedly" there just the night before when she handed her son to her mother at the door!
Obviously there was no bullet hole there on that night.
Point being it is my thought that anyone who would be bold enough to enter thier home that has a big ass bullet hole in the door would not turn around and leave if they saw thier mama laying on the floor dead!
They would run TO her screaming and would be hollering for thier child also!
I dont really even think that they would be in the right mindset to worry about whether the killer was still i the house or not..maternal instinct would have them running through that house looking for thier child!
Point being, if Julia was bold enough to enter that house with a bullet hole in the door then why wasnt she bold enough to run to her mama and most importantly tear that house up and look for her baby?
I'm just wondering about this because I'm very suspicious but not neccesarily accusing!

208. Could Obama have had something to do with this crime? The murders of the gay choir members in Reverend Wright's church are thought to have happened to keep the truth from coming out about him. It is being reported that Jennifer Hudson's brother was a drug dealer and that Obama has used drugs. Could there be a connection here and Obama feared the truth coming out once again just prior to the election? Why was Jennifer Hudson chosen to sing the National Anthem at the Democratic Convention when there were so many others who were so much better and did not have the ghetto, criminal ties in their friends and associates as Jennifer Hudson.

209. If a hit man wasn't hired by someone like Obama, then imo Julia most definitely had something to do with these horrendous murders. Her orange jump suit is being custom made by Oprah Winfrey's designer, Omar the Tentmaker, who just finished making Oprah another huge creation for the Inaugural Ball.

210. That is so sad Adrienne.....how could you not feel sorry for someone's sorrow? You don't know the truth! No one but God does! And as for everyone who says it's her fault because she married a "thug".....not all people that are labeled "thugs" are killers and ok yeah I know he was in jail for attempted murder. It doesn't mean he did this one. If he did God have mercy on his soul. But still a lot of women especially ones with low self esteem are attracted to "thugs" or dangerous men it gives them a sense of excitement in their life I'm sure if she thought he would hurt her family she wouldn't have done it.....it's like women that get beat you don't get into a relationship with someone knowing you're going to get beat up, and then you're too afraid to leave.

Also there are plenty of upper class white collar "thugs" that kill and mob hits and stuff, it's not just the poor neighborhoods.

All that people should be praying for is the peace of the ones who passed into Heaven, and the support and care to the loved ones left behind.

I also agree that it's really sad that stuff like this DOES happen all the time, people are disgusting and evil

God help us all.....and my condolences for the families involved, R.I.P. and little Julian especially God has a special place in heaven for that little guy....no more worries or pain or fear he is with Jesus now!!!!!
