Jennifer Hudson Asks for Help Finding Nephew

Jennifer Hudson is asking for help from the public in finding her 7 year old nephew who has been missing since her mother and brother were shot to death in their home. An Amber Alert has remained in effect Sunday for the boy, named Julian King, who disappeared on Friday. Police don’t have a motive for the killings and abduction but they consider it domestic-related.

A man named William Balfour, the estranged husband of Jennifer Hudson’s sister, named Julia Hudson, has been in police custody and is a suspect in the shooting. Julia Hudson is also the mother of the missing child. Balfour has been transferred to the Illinois Department of Corrections based on his active parole violations unrelated to the homicides and abduction. He will remain in state custody until the Illinois Prisoner Review Board looks at his case.

Thousands of People Evacuated in China

In China, 200,000 people were evacuated by early Saturday to safer places due to a lake formed by the recent earthquake threatening to breach its dam. Hundred of Chinese troops have been working to drain Tangjashan Lake in Sichuan province. The lake was formed when a hillside plunged into a river valley during the earthquake on May 12^th that killed 68,977 people and left 17,974 missing, according to most recent updates.

A runoff channel has been recently completed and water is expected to be discharged between Sunday and Tuesday. Another 1.3 million people in the area will be evacuated if the barrier of the lake fully opens and floods the area.
