UPDATE: Chicago police are saying they’ve found the body of a boy in a white SUV matching the description of the one missing.  No confirmation on the identification of the body, but police suspect it is that of Hudson’s nephew, Julian.  Tragic.

Barack Obama supports Jennifer Hudson in her search for her missing 7 year old nephew.  The boy was apparently taken after the murder of his grandmother and uncle in their home on Friday morning.  Shots were heard between 8 and 9 am, but the murders weren’t discovered until after 3 pm.

That’s 6 hours or more where whoever took the boy could have ran with him.  Since he could have been taken across state lines, the FBI have now been brought in to help search.

When hearing of the news, Barack’s people issued the following statement via People Magazine:

“Michelle and I were absolutely heartbroken to learn about this unimaginable tragedy and we want Jennifer to know that she is in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time,” the Illinois senator said. “We also pray for the swift and safe return of her young nephew.”

 Jennifer sang the national Anthem at the Democratic Convention and got to meet the Obama’s.  She was honored to be a part of the process.

Jennifer has now posted a $100,000 reward for the safe return of her nephew.
