Suspect In Jennifer Hudson's Mother and Brother's Murder Identified

Breaking News! The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Balfour is in custody and being interrogated by Chicago Police, Area 1 detectives at this hour (9:30 PM Chicago time). The missing child has not been found. I've been told that the interrogation ended when Balfour demanded a lawyer. He will have a court appearance in the morning for bail purposes. This is where they will appoint an attorney for him and by the afternoon he will be in the Cook County Jail. I suspect even if he’s not charged with murder he will not be bondable because of various parole violations.

Chicago, IL--Chicago police are seeking William Balfour as a suspect in the killing of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother. Balfour is also suspected in the abduction of seven year-old Julian King.


Balfour should be considered armed and dangerous. He is believed to be driving a white 1994 Chevy Suburban with license plate: X58-4859 or a teal or green Chrysler Concord with a temporary tag with a left front headlight hanging out and scratches on the left side of the vehicle.

When Balfour was last seen he had his hair in "Buckwheat" style braids.

Balfour is the husband of Jennifer Hudson's older sister, Julia. He was a resident of the home where the killings happened.

Here is the Illinois Department of Corrections history of this suspect:

Chicago, IL—Two bodies were discovered in a home owned by American Idol singer, and Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson's mother. Early reports indicate that Hudson’s mother, Darnell Hudson Donerson and an adult male identified Jennifer Hudson’s brother Justin Hudson were shot to death. The home is located at 7019 S. Yale on Chicago’s South Side.

Officers of the Chicago Police Department are investigating this as a double homicide. I will have details about this crime later as the investigation unfolds.

These two deaths are just more for the newly crowned Murder Capital of America.

Update: Police are also reporting that a child, believed to be Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, is missing. Police are actively searching for an SUV that was seen in the area, a 1994 white Suburban, Illinois license plate number X584859

Here is information and photos of the suspect.

Another Tawana Brawley has surfaced

Pittsburgh, PA—That McCain volunteer who claimed she was robbed and mutilated has not rung true with this investigator. Ashley Todd, 20 told the story that the robber carved the letter B on her face.

The biggest problem I have is the "carving" is so superficial and was made by numerous small and minimal scratches rather than real cutting.

In this world we have pathetic people that need attention. This story smelled to me from the beginning. I suspect that before the ink is dry on the police reports this allegation will be debunked.

The good news here if there is any is that Todd has not implicated some real person for this attack.

Why There Are Long Voter Lines…

What’s the solution? Voters need to read and mark a sample ballot before they get to the polling place.

Ballots are often long and confusing to some voters. Those ballots include bond issues and propositions. It is a lot of reading material. More importantly too many people are really dumb. Voters don’t bother reading anything sent to them by their election commissions including the sample ballot they send out.

It’s evident that most voters have seen the ballot for the very first time once their inside the voting booth.

Poll workers should be handing sample ballots to voters standing in those long lines but they seldom are smart enough to do that. Additional real problems involve the pathetic literacy skills of voters. Bi-lingual ballots don’t help if people can’t read their native language either.

Voters should be in and out of their booth in less than one minute.

More On Obama's Gun Ban Efforts

This is the latest ad from the NRA that exposes the real Barrack Obama. The story they are talking about happened in Wimette Illinois and involved Chicago restaurant owner Hale Demar. Obama wanted Demar jailed and given a criminal record for the rest of his life because he defended his family. Another reason for NOBAMA!

Prosecutor Beating His Chest In Missing Wife Cases

Joliet, IL-- Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow has a miserable life these days. He’s been hounded for more than a year to indict two men for murder with no evidence or even a body. The targets for prosecution are retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson and private investigator Craig Stebic.

Is it the families of the missing women ranting a raving for impossible prosecutions? Not really. Instead it’s a bunch of pathetic true crime story junkies that want to somehow be a part of these cases. These people don’t have a life and have way too much time on their hands. These concerned citizens troll the Internet consuming and spreading the worst kind of gossip. They think that they are somehow helping police and the potential victimized families.

The Illinois State Police and prosecutors are the object of wrath. Wrath facilitated by the Internet ramblings of the true crime busybodies. The officials can’t allow themselves to be seen as ineffective or unconcerned so they spin their wheels and beat their chests to convince the world they can convict people with paper thin or no evidence. The danger is that it’s way too easy to indict anyone for anything.

The Internet has created a new and just as ugly form of a lynch mob. Their hero is that washed up prosecutor who found new life by pandering to the dysfunctional busybodies and television addicts, Nancy Grace.

Prosecutors are political animals who don’t want to become targets for these inquiring minds.

Now James Glasgow has issued a press release to convince his constituents that he’s still alive and really earning his wages. Read his two page release here:

Sarah Palin’s $$$ wardrobe…”Sarah dahling, you look marvelous!”

Whatever Sarah’s cool threads cost it was worth it! Sarah Palin is a fashion plate and she rocks!

Truthfully, when in American history have we had any politician at all that rang our bell so well?

In the late and great actor Fernando Lamas’ words memorialized by comedian Billy Crystal, “Dahling, you look marvelous!”

Mike Mette Is Back In His Police Uniform!

Chicago, IL—Second City Cop is reporting that Chicago police officer Mike Mette who is fresh out of that Iowa prison has been attending classes at the academy. That means he was given his star, shield ID card and new pile of training materials.

Mette is in what’s called a retread (as in used rubber tires) class held for officers who have been off for extended periods such as leaves of absence. I can’t think of another similar case where an officer was convicted of a crime, sent to prison and later cleared on appeal going back to work.

This training covers new laws and departmental rules and procedures and requalification on the firing range. Soon a personnel order will be cut sending him to his permanent assignment. It remains to be seen if he returns to Fillmore (011) or is sent elsewhere.

Crimefile wishes Mette the assignment of his choice and some much needed privacy to continue his life. Mette is going to discover the department has changed a lot since he last worked the mean streets. Stay safe Mike...

Chicago’s Grant Park, The Epicenter For A Planned November 4th Insurrection

Chicago, IL— The Barack Obama campaign is planning a massive rally inside Grant Park. Chicago police will never get motivated in today’s political climate to even attempt to control this group once they get out of hand and they will get out of hand. All of Chicago’s strongest supporters of Obama will be on hand to totally destroy that city landmark if McCain wins and probably destroy it even if Obama wins in their jubilation.

If I owned property anywhere near Grant Park I’d board up the windows and hire people for security and fire control until the crowd estimated to be well beyond tens of thousands vacate the area. Preparations to accommodate that anticipated huge crowd in Grant Park are already underway.

News organizations covering this event need to send their only oldest equipment and give their people helmets and protective vests. I expect to see TV satellite and live trucks burned. There may be a price to pay for members of Chicago’s media that have trashed rank and file cops in recent times. I just can’t imagine cops risking their lives for anyone who they feel hate them.

The low paid and poorly trained private security people hired by the Obama people will be unarmed and themselves part of the problem.

News organizations will not be able to use helicopters because of Secret Service demands for a wide no fly zone. You can count on overflowing hospital emergency rooms everywhere.

The job of the US Secret Service is a simple one. At the first sign of trouble they will evacuate Obama and get out of Dodge.

Anyone who can escape working that night will be really lucky. Those working need to plan a quick getaway to safety.

The results of this planed disaster will gut an already bankrupt city. Whoever dreamed up this really dumb idea will get as much fame as Mrs. O’Leary and her cow.

Chicago police can be counted to toss a little tear gas around while they stand back and watch the revelers do their thing. Police officers smart enough to avoid conflicts and clashing with the crowd in any way will never face criminal charges of violating people’s civil rights. Chicago cops are extremely tired of listening to Chicago’s African-American reverends scream and whine every time they do their jobs. Of course that will change in a hurry if the crowd attacks the officers. If I were on the job today in Chicago I'd be planing ahead with my physician to be on the medical role November 4th.

Mr. Blond In A Mental Facility

Los Angeles, CA—TMZ is reporting that actor Michael Madsen was removed from his home by Sheriff’s officers for signs of mental instability. He was placed into treatment on what California designates as a “5150 hold” that requires reasonable belief that Madsen is a danger to himself or others.

Madsen, a Chicago boy, may be best remembered for his frightening portrayal of Mr. Blond aka Vic Vega in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. Madsen also played an all American dad in, Free Willy. Madsen has been very busy appearing in many films many of which are currently in production. The Internet Movie Database lists Madsen's participation in a whopping 167 films. I don’t have details but wish Madsen a quick rest and success with any health issues.

TMZ has their information here.

Race Riots Expected if Obama Does Not Win!

I don’t like the message that’s being spread around right now. At least one African-American columnist from the Baltimore Sun has tried to spread fear and racial divide. What I see is a lame attempt at extortionate intimidation to assure Barack Obama gets installed into the Whitehouse.

African-Americans can’t have that short a memory. When that happens in our country the death and destruction always becomes localized in the ghettos. The impact, damage and suffering is always heaviest on the African-Americans themselves.

A far better idea is move forward encouraging businesses and investors to create jobs. Too many people forget that no government can force anyone to create job opportunities. That only happens when people unite with purpose and energy giving confidence to the business community. That will never happen under Obama’s anti-business Socialist ways.

I have no problem with an African-American President. I have a huge problem with a Socialist President of any race. Barrack Obama is a socialist, who has tightly aligned himself with fellow Communists and Socialists. Obama has a terrible agenda for America that will cost millions their jobs.

Allowing Prostitution In American Cities.

San Francisco, CA—If some get their way in the City by the Bay, local taxpayers stand to save $11 million dollars a year not including courts and jail costs.

It’s on the ballot and It’s called Proposition K and it forbids the local authorities arresting, investigating or prosecuting anyone for sexual commerce between consenting adults.

I thought the Indian reservations were going to break ground with this idea like they did with gambling. It just has not happened, yet.

I know that prostitution enforcement and the defense lawyers generate as much commerce as the prostitution itself. But this may be a way for cash strapped local governments to save some real money.

Police could and should still enforce public indecency laws and preclude child prostitution and child exploitation. I don’t see any real benefit to trying to outlaw the world’s oldest profession.

I suspect that decriminalization would mean the hookers would rely less on pimps and panderers and be able to keep more of their earnings. This also may reduce other crimes associated with prostitution because they would interfere with a legal business.
