UPDATE - Suspect In Custody for Hudson Family Murders
& Ryan Seacrest Speaks Out
Posted on Sat Oct 25, 2008 01:49 PM PDT
Chicago police have the estranged husband of Jennifer Hudson's sister in custody as a suspect in the murder of Hudson's mother and brother. 
It is the suspect, William Balfour's 7 year-old step-son Julian who was abducted from the scene of the murders and who is still missing.
Balfour's mother said her son has nothing to do with the crimes.
Meanwhile, the police have called in the FBI to assist with the search of the boy.
Last night, we caught up with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest -- who worked with the former contestant who went on to win an Oscar for Dreamgirls -- and he called the murders "horrible" ...

I feel so sorry for her and her family. Many friends I met on a sports commnity say what we should remember is GOD IS LOVE AND LOVE IS GOD THE BABY WILL BE BROUGHT HOME
That is such a tragedy to lose your family members.Sorry for your lost Jennifer .The lord is on your side . Many friends I met on a sports datingsite ==mysportsdate.com== say they feel very sorry too.
Hopefully our Savior Obama can help.
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money". I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a Obama tie, again I laughed - just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need - the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.
Oversimplification and sick analogy to place your "political comment" about Obama's political views---Here, on this site of all places! See, I can tell you're white/caucasian---or just plain stupid! Please do not link your political views, analogies, and opinions to things which can happen in life beyond the conrols and confines of such views. There are wayyyy too many ways to look at ALL situations. Please have empathy enough to keep your illogical and irrelevant thoughts to yourself--until an appropriate time! Obama---has nothing to do with this!
Jennifer, Our prayers and thoughts are with you. May God Bless your family in this unfortunate time of need. You are blessed to have so many people who care. Trust in God, Girl, We know you will make it through---and inspire to make a mark and difference for your community and great country honoring a better legacy than this tragedy.
