Julian King Search Update

As The Shadow promised, we will continue to monitor the search for Actress Jennifer Hudson's nephew, Julian King.

We should clarify our earlier story on this.  When we began to report on this story last Friday, The Shadow reported that Jennifer's mother and sister were found shot.  We have since found out that it was Jennifer's mother and brother who was found shot Friday afternoon.  Jennifer's sister, Julia, is still alive.

As we have also reported, Jennifer's 7 year old nephew, Julian King has been missing since Jennifer's mother and brother were found on Friday.  An Amber Alert has been issued for Julian King.

 

Julian King

Julian is described as being 4-feet-11 and 130 pounds. He was wearing a striped brown polo shirt and khaki pants when last seen.  Chicago Police are also asking the public to look out for a 1994 white Chevrolet Suburban with Illinois license plate X584859.  If you have seen Julian or this vehicle, contact Chicago Police or 911 IMMEDIATELY.

We should note as well that the FBI is assisting Chicago Police in searching for Julian in the event that the kidnapper has left Illinois, which would then make the kidnapping a federal crime.  In light of this, The Shadow is asking people in the immediate states neighboring Illinois, especially, and people in the United States to also be on the lookout for Julian and to call 911 or your local police department if you see him or the vehicle described above.

Jennifer Hudson tonight has announced that she is offering a reward of $100,000 for the safe return of her nephew.

The Shadow is urging the kidnapper to please return Julian to his family and to turn yourself in to police.

The Shadow will provide updates as event warrant.
