Report: Julian's Body Covered, Hidden

Julian King's body was covered with a curtain, which may explain why it took three days for authorities to find, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Additionally, sources tell the paper Jennifer Hudson's brother Jason was shot in the leg before he was killed on Friday. It was unclear how he got the wound and how it factored into his murder.

A public memorial is scheduled for Sunday at the Pleasant Gift Memorial Baptist Church in Chicago. The ceremony will be private from 3-4:00 PM and then it will be open to the public.

Yes, I am mad. I'm sick and tired of people in the black community dying senselessly. We've got to GET OUT OF THE HOOD MENTALITY IF WE WANT TO CHANGE OUR REALITY.

Just one day, ONE DAY

Julia Hudson’s Emotional TV Plea Doubted By Some Investigators
Chicago, IL—Based on numerous inconsistent statements made by Julia Hudson some investigators now believe that when that impassioned press conference was held little Julian King’s mother already knew the truth. That he was already dead.

Sources close to this investigation have raised several doubts.

Julia Hudson, her murdered brother Jason Hudson along with Gregory King and William Balfour were involved in the selling of drugs. Julia Hudson has known the motive for the killings all along but has misled investigators about important facts.

Police have obtained the cell phone records that reportedly tell a much different story that Julia Hudson gave police.

Police have made inroads with at least one of these players that has turned snitch giving police information including the actual location of the murder weapon.

Is Julia Hudson a better actress than her Academy Award winning sister Jennifer?

64. For Mindy (#47) - The first call to police came Monday morning, from a man who went outside to walk his dog around 7, saw the vehicle, recalled what he'd seen on the news, and called police when he saw the license plates were still on the truck. Another older lady had just come outside to "take her morning walk" and saw it too, just as police were arriving in response to the first call. Both insisted that though they didn't know when the vehicle appeared, it had to have been brought there overnight sometime, since it was definitely not there as of nightfall Sunday. By that evening, the man's wfe had changed her story, saying that it "might have been there since Saturday." Others rushed to jump in front of the TV camera swearing they'd seen it there since Friday. Some claimed to have called police then because they had seen the Amber Alerts and all the news coverage, but that police didn't respond. I find that HARD to believe, figure that some neighbors just got caught up in wanting to have something to say on TV when they saw the media on the block.

Since that time, all kind of "after the fact" stories have been told in that neighborhood... a man who lives on the block where William's girlfriend lives said he saw it THERE on Friday for about 10 minutes around noon or 1 PM... other neighbors now claim that the SUV was driving all around the neighborhood Saturday with two men inside, etc. etc. etc.
After news reported that the weapon was found, another neighbor reportedly told media that she'd seen these 2 guys ride through the vacant lot on Saturday afternoon and throw the gun in the bushes. Again, all of this was said AFTER the media had already reported the finding of the weapon several days later. So who knows what's credible. I just can't believe that police would not have followed up on any of these "calls" if they had actually been made.

65. In the grand scheme of things Julian was a baby. For all intents and purposes he could have lived another 80 years had some sociopath not come along and slaughtered him. Whoever did this was not a man, a man doesn't take another life, these are the actions of a coward. A man owns up to what he's done.

I am MAD. I'm tired of people dying in the black community senselessly. WE'VE GOT TO SHAKE THE HOOD MENTALITY IF WE WANT TO CHANGE OUR REALITY.

I have my 3-year old grandson with me right now for the weekend. I tell my daugher ALL THE TIME, you THINK ABOUT YOUR SON FIRST before you get hooked up with any old body.

To my community: CAN'T WE PUT THE DRUGS AND GUNS DOWN FOR ONE DAY? JUST ONE DAY, Try it. You might be surprised.

IF WE CAN BOND TOGETHER IN NEGATIVITY THEN WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BOND TOGETHER IN POSITIVITY.

My young and old brothers and sister are dying in the hood everyday because we're doing nothing BUT SITTING AROUND AND WATCHING IT HAPPEN. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

So YES, I AM ANGRY!!!!!

67. I can't believe y'all are on here arguing about who's facts are right. Bottom line, none of us have all the damn facts!However, I do believe that Julia knows alot more than she's saying... after the funeral the Fat Lady's Gonna Sing like a bird, so look for this case to wrap early next week.

68. Missblaze, your passion comes through very clearly and it's admirable.

I just think if your posts were a little more calm (NOT SO MANY CAPS), you would make your points more effectively.

Anybody who is decent is sick of black people dying senselessly. It's a horrible thing.

But another horrible thing is black people being tried and convicted on very little. It's a vicious circle.

Everyone posting is very interested in this story and I think we should be careful of what we put out there. I include myself there. I need to remember William has not been charged, let alone convicted and we should all believe in innocence until proven guilty.

I'm sure family and friends of all concerned are reading some of this and it's got to be heartbreaking.

69. It is amazing that these deaths keep happening, and nothing gets done about it. People, especially those with kids, have to change who they associate with. In my city 2 young women were slaughtered along with their babies (one an infant, the other not yet 2). Turns out the women were at a drug house, armed robbers came in and killed everyone there. What on earth could possess these mothers to have their kids at a known drug house?

I'm not black but am concerned about all of these deaths, more and more often involving babies, happening in the black community. Chances are very high that Julia has now lost almost her entire family because of her choice in marrying a thug. What are these women thinking? You're strong, independent women, you don't need these "men" in your lives!

74. Luciana #65 I just wanted to mention that NO morbidly obese persons live to 80, In fact most just live into their 50"s, they die from diabetes, heart disease usually. That little boy should have lived at least another 50 yrs though, poor kid!

75. @ Dumb, Adrienne, & MissBlaze43
1) How is Julia switching stories???? Do Tell ...Are you working with the FBI or CPD??? The authorities havent release anything discussed with the family. This is all speculation. How do you know she didnt tell them everything she knew.
2) Yes, Julia is involved ...she happens to be related to the 3 victims, her son was killed in the process. I dont see anything that leads me to believe Julia knew something sinister was going down.
3) So what if she appears to be ghetto fab on her myspace page... To me it seems like a young woman that is VERY PROUD of her family and not only her famous sister ...her whole fam.. the good and the bad
4) Yes, Julia admitted to falling in love with the wrong man. Tell me you dont know woman that has gotten into terrible situations because of an err in judgement ... PLEASEEEEEEEEEE STOP IT
5) Has it occurred to you that just possibly she got a ride from someone else that day DAMNNN.
6) Julian was out of school because his school was closed that day
7) Julia did call William to curse him out the morning of the murder after she was notified that her wages would be garnished for a car she could not drive because he sold it.
Let's wait until the OFFICIAL report comes out ....Let them lay their family members to rest
I think one of you must be William's new girlfriend or something
