Leave a comment

Law enforcement is quick on finding the suspect for the murder of KATV’s Anne Pressly who is only 26 years old, was brutally murdered back in Oct. during a random robbery. Police arrested Curtis Lavelle Vance, 28, is now considered a prime suspect of the case and is now in police custody. They arrested him at his Arkansas home where he lived. He was travelling with a woman and three children, he also had a pistol and lots of extra ammunition, but he wasn’t armed when arrested. The police were tight lipped on how they found out that this could be the guy, but all they could reveal that this guy Curtis Lavelle Vance was using one of Ann Pressly’s credit cards which led to a hidden video camera recording him using one.

Anne Pressly is a popular news reporter in her homestate and town of Little Rock, Arkansas which she had a small cameo in the movie “W.” directed by Oliver Stone and starring Josh Brolin.

Report: Jennifer Hudson did not yet go inside house where her family members were murdered…

2 Comments

Jennifer Hudson who just lost her mother, brother and nephew over a brutal murder has not yet went inside the house, the crime scene. She once visited the property by standing behind the gate looking out at the house but she was too emotional to go inside. Jennifer’s friends say that she is heartbroken and emotional of the deaths of course, but she is doing fine.

The funeral for Darnell Donnerson, Jason Hudson and Julian King is today in Chicago.

More on it here:

I don’t think Jennifer would ever be able to make her way into the house at all. She’ll be heartbroken and sad for the rest of her life. She’ll be thinking about this for the rest of her life. I don’t see Jennifer going back to her music and acting career for a long while. She’s going to need some private space for herself. God bless her.

I wonder where Jennifer’s father is and if she’ll ever go to him. Hope they find the killers soon because they are still out there and on the run if the killer isn’t William Balfour ’cause he had help in the murders, never know the killers might plan on going after Jennifer or even Julia too so hopefully Chicago PD hunts the killers down fast before something does happen to Jennifer and Julia.

Report: Julia Hudson had a hand in the murders too?

12 Comments

Chicago PD discovered that the gun found by the SUV was the same murder weapon used on all three victims. The mother, the nephew and the brother Jason Hudson. Police also said William Balfour could possibly had some help in the three murders. Since Julia Hudson is the only one that had access to her home, is it possible that Julia is also the murderer? 

Julia is probably the only other person in the house that knew where Jason kept his gun locked up. Julia must of had some heated argument with her brother and mother that she just lost it. She had her husband William Balfour help her out by killing Julian King to cover up the crime since the little boy witnessed it.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Julia and William Balfour are both guilty of this.

Report: Julian King likely died in SUV…

Leave a comment

The 7 year old nephew of Jennifer Hudson and the son of Julia, Julian King, may have died in the white SUV, the Chicago PD says. The officials speculate that Julian King was alive when he left the house where his uncle and grandmother were killed last week. Police found a .45-caliber gun around the corner where SUV was parked which could possibly be the murder weapon of all three victims, the mother, brother and nephew.

A funeral service for the Hudson brother, mother and nephew will be held this Monday. The funeral is closed to the public, only family and friends of the Hudsons is allowed. Of course, Jennifer herself will probably attend the funeral.

The question you have to ask is this…why would the killers shoot and kill a little 7 year old?

The only reason I can think of why they would do this is because, Julian, the little boy must of witnessed the killers murdering his uncle and his grandmother. Julian must of ran out of the house for help being all scared, so the killers went and grabbed him and put him in the SUV. That’s my theory.

Rest in peace to all three of them. Innocent people who didn’t deserve this. This story is so sad and heartbreaking.
