As you may already have read on an earlier post, Oscar-winning actress and American Idol contestant Jennifer Hudson is searching for her 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, after police found the singer’s mother and brother shot to death in their home on Friday. Hudson posted a $100,000 reward for any information leading to the safe return of her nephew.

Unfortunately, The Associated Press has reported that the body of a young, black male has been found in the back of the white van in Chicago. Though the body has not been confirmed as being Julian, the van matched the one being sought after in the Amber Alert issued for Julian’s disappearance.

We cannot possibly think of any reason to harm an innocent child, so we hope the police find out who did this soon.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hudson family…
