Police Confirm That Gun Found Was Murder Weapon in Hudson Family Murders; Memorial and Funeral Dates Set

Saturday, November 01, 2008
Murder weapon confirmed by Chicago police




Police have confirmed through forensic testing that the gun they recovered Wednesday in North Lawndale is the weapon used to kill members of actress and singer Jennifer Hudson's family, a law enforcement source said today.



The .45-caliber Sig-Sauer semiautomatic pistol was recovered in the bushes of a vacant lot a block away from the 1300 block of South Kolin Avenue where the suburban was found Monday morning. Police immediately had suspected the gun was a match because the unfired bullets in the gun matched the make and model of shell casings found at the murder scene, sources said.








The investigation continues as police try to tie their evidence to a suspect. Julia Hudson's estranged husband, William Balfour, remains in custody after being questioned in the case, but he has not been charged in the murders.

Nancy Grace Speaks to the Mother of William Balfour, Person of Interest' in the Jennifer Hudson Family Murders

Wednesday, October 29, 2008
OMG!

Please listen to this and tell me what you think?

Video: Mother of person of interest on Nancy



In this video, the mother of the CNN's Nancy Grace speaks to the mother of William Balfour, 'person of interest' in the Jennifer Hudson family murders. William Balfour, the estranged husband of Julia Hudson (Jennifer's sister) and the nephew's stepfather, remains the primary suspect in the murders.




Michele Davis Balfour, William Balfour’s mother states "I'm not going to let them put my son down ... My son had nothing to do with this … and I'm very upset with the police because they are refusing to let me see my son."




Balfour’s mother states "I'm not going to let them put my son down," Balfour's mother, Michele Davis Balfour, told reporters. "My son had nothing to do with this … and I'm very upset with the police because they are refusing to let me see my son."



Then, as of this morning, there's evidence suggesting there may have been another person involved in the murder of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother, and nephew, as reported onsTMZ.com. Investigators are going over William Balfour's movements after the killings on Chicago's South Side and are trying to determine if someone else drove the prime suspect to the West Side of town, 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 (day of the murders), and that car was eventually found about a mile away from there. The SUV in which Julian was discovered ended up about 13 miles away from the Hudson house, but not too far away from Balfour’s house.

Now, Mr. Balfour was taken into custody at a girlfriend's home hours after the bodies were found on Friday. On the Nancy Grace video, his mother states that he was with one of his two girlfriend’s when the murders were committed, however sources say the girlfriend contradicted his alibi. Police say they’ve also caught him in at least one other lie. Fortunately, the police were able to track his whereabouts Friday through cell phone records, but this information has not been released. I’m wondering exactly where it is that they found out he was. Hmmm…

Also in the news today is a report that Balfour was busted this summer on a drug charge that could have put him behind bars, but the charge was dropped! His mother denies this in the video w/Nancy Grace. IF its true that he was recently busted the charges dropped, it is possible that this all could have been prevented by keeping him in jail. All of this equals a VERY BIG PROBLEM.
