  • Yes, this has made the rounds on DoubleKisses and we all share in the grief of the remaining family! This is part of an article i posted there:

    The police said they issued an Amber Alert for Hudson’s 7-year-old nephew Julian King who may have been abducted by William Balfour, a suspect who is considered armed and dangerous.

    Balfour may be driving a white 1994 Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate No. X584859 or a teal/green Chrysler Concord four-door with a left front headlight hanging out that is scratched all along its left side. The Chrysler is displaying temporary tags of 332K823, according to the Chicago Tribune.

    So anyone in the vicinity please report anything thats fits the description!

  • ****MUST READ****
    Something seems real fishy about this. Before the murders on Friday the last time she was logged in her myspace was on 10/23 she then logged on and changed her mood to ” numb” and accepted several friend request. She posted no plead on her profile at all. Your mother and brother was just murdered and your estranged husband is the suspect in killing your family and on top of this your son is missing. WHERE IN THE HELL DO YOU FIND THE TIME TO GET YOUR A** ON MYSPACE? AND THAT FAKE CRYING AND SNIFFING SH** IS FOR THE BIRDS! THE FOLLOWING IS FROM HER PROFILE:
    Who is the most attractive?: JENNIFER
    Who is the most talented?: JENNIFER
    Who do your parents know the best?: JENNIFER AND JASON
    Who do your parents like the most?: JENNIFER AND JASON
    Who’s the best singer?: JENNIFER
    Who’s the best dancer?: KITA
    Who’s the best actor?: LONNIE
    Who’s the best actress?: JENNIFER

    (is someone feeling like an out cast or the ugly duckling…no pun intended)
    I don’t know, but I pray Dr. King is ok and safe. I think she knows more then what she is leading on. How does the suspects mother make a plead for the return of your son before you do? Where in the hell were your tears? That little boy is out there somewhere and your MONKEY A** IS ON MYSPACE. HOW DOES THAT WORK? GET YOUR A** OFF CRACKSPACE AND HIT THE STREETS AND FIND YOUR BABY BOO BOO!

    P.S. WHY WASN’T THAT LITTLE BOY AT SCHOOL? CAN’T ASK HER THAT SHE WAS TOO BUSY ON CRACKSPACE AND TAKING PICTURES OF HERSELF. HOW IS YOUR SON LIKE YOUR BROTHER? I GUESS WHEN YOU DON’T TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS YOU WON’T KNOW THEIR WHEREABOUTS. AND ACCORDING TO HER MYSPACE HER MOTHER LIKED JENNIFER AND JASON MORE (RED FLAG) YOU DON’T HAVE A MOTHERLY BOND WITH YOUR SON BECAUSE YOU ARE WORKING AND ON CRACKSPACE. JENNIFER GETS ALL THE ATTENTION…. AND DID I MENTION YOU ARE ON MYSPACE WHEN YOUR 7 YEAR OLD SON IS MISSING? WTF? HER ASS NEEDS TO BE IN CUSTODY WITH WILLIAM. SHE NEEDS SOME ATTENTION. SHE HAS MORE MOTIVE THEN WILLIAM HAS A CRIMINAL RECORD. WHY DO YOU THINK CHARGES HAVE YET TO BE FILED AGAINST HIM?

  • Tae, i understand what you may be trying to say, but… it could’ve been the police on her page,watching it & adding people in case they know information regarding the case… i dont know man it…just be positive & stop blaming the poor girl. She going through some thangs, she may be in shock, alot of people grieve differently , i know i do. People love, and grieve differently. So maybe she not used 2 crying and stuff out in the public…
    Does that make her a bad person? No.

    Now the survey youre speaking on is regarding a survey about FRIENDS…Not herself&friends…smh, she considered her sister & brother to be her friends…
    READ IT CLOSELY booboo, before youre judge and assume something so crazy..

  • TAW raised an interesting pt that people here in the chi are playing with. i can’t even believe this tragedy, but its a blatant example of when keepin it real goes wrong. there was no reason for them to be living in that area! j-hood could have purchased them a nice townhouse in the burbs near my momma. the sister isn’t missing, the little boy is…i hope it all gets resolved according to God’s plan, and soon. things like this make it too easy to doubt the creator! :(
