Hudson Offers $100,000 For Missing Nephew, Thanks Fans For Support

Jennifer Hudson and her family are offering a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her seven-year-old nephew Julian King, who has been missing since the double murder of her mother and brother on Friday. A rep for Hudson said that Jennifer and her family “appreciate the enormous amount of love, support and prayers they have received while she and her family try to cope with this tragedy and continue the search for Julian.” The rep also offered the reward and asked the public to give any available information regarding Julian to the Chicago police.

A similar message was posted on Jennifer Hudson’s MySpace page, which contains two pictures of Julian (see below):

Thank You All

Thank you all for your prayers and your calls. Please keep praying for our family and that we get Julian King back home safely. If anyone has any information about his whereabouts please contact the authorities immediately. Here is a picture of Julian and what he was last seen wearing. Once again thank you all for being there for us through this tough time.

Sincerely,
The Hudson Family
