Haven't seen a report confirming it's King. Just that a child's body was found in a white SUV matching the description of the one that was missing (same license plate). That sounds pretty definite though.

ETA: I was really hoping he had gotten away and was hiding somewhere, scared.

I seriously hope this man gets death. Does Illinois have the death penalty?

ETA: NM-YES THEY DO! GOOD!

CNN is confirming that boy found in the SUV is indeed Hudson's nephew Julian. Press conference with Chicago police to be expected within the next hour.

They might as well not. They have executed 12 people between 1962 and now with the first coming in 1990 and the last coming in 1999 (all under Republican governors). Ryan suspended the death penalty in I think 2001 and commuted the sentences of everyone on death row. I think it has since been reinstated, but I don't see Illinois using it again any time soon.

Yeah. The death penalty is highly unlikely, unless Illiois decides it wants to make a statement in this case because it's relatively high profile.

This is sick. Did they say what the motive was?

I haven't heard anything official about a motive, but maybe they were originally planning to hold the kid for ransom (hoping that Jennifer or family would cough up some money)?

I don't think so. At least one of the neighbors where the truck was found recalls it being there since (if I recall the article correctly) Saturday or Sunday...they didn't even put two and two together for the longest! And then the neighbors not even calling 911 after hearing gun shots-there appears to be a band of dimwits residing in certain neighborhoods.

I honestly cried this morning. There is no reason to kill a child.
