I just read this distressing story on my yahoo page also. How terrible for Jennifer or anyone for that matter to lose their loved ones that way. My condolences and prayers go out to her and her family.

I popped into the American Idol GD board and it's there as well, So sad, someone posted that it's horrible that there are people like that, that would do something like that, I posted and said It sure is horrible and scarey and the really scarey part is there are kooks running all over this world and one fo them could be a next door neighbor or something, It's a scarey thought huh??

Holy Uncensored Thoughts, that's horrifying! Poor woman - she surely didn't need this senseless act in her life. I'll be praying for little Julian, in hopes he is safe and maybe comes home - hale and hearty - soon.

I was shocked to hear of this disturbing news. I cant believe it. My heartfelt sympathies go out to Jennifer and her loved ones. May she find comfort in God, and please give her strength during this horrific time in her life.

I heard on the news yesterday they found her nephew in a SUV, dead. My head shook with disgust. My heart goes out to her. I pray for the Lord to comfort her and her family at this tragetic time.

IT is very sad news about her nephew too, I feel so bad for her and her family, what must they be going through,

All this makes me glad that I do live where I do, it might be a small place in a nothing state but I do feel very safe here or at least safer than most places anyway.

I am so saddened too. I won't dwell on it, though, because I know he is at least at peace, being held by his family and my Father.

I am so saddened to know that young Julien also perished in this senseless act. Hopefully they catch the culprits and give them the ultimate punishment. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to Jennifer at this trying time.

I agree, and I pray for those responsible. Somewhere, they lost their way, too. It breaks the heart, don't it?

The kind of sick bastard that has no conscience. He doesn't care about the child's life. Just about his freaking revenge. Those kind of people I would love to hang from the highest tree possible, right along with child molesters. :steam:
