MOBILE, Ala. — The body of a 3-year-old boy was recovered Sunday in the search for four children allegedly thrown from a coastal bridge by their father, the sheriff said.
The body was found near shore by a search team, close to where a duck hunter found the body of the boy’s infant brother Saturday about 5 miles west of the bridge in a marshy area, Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran said.
Lam Luong, 37, a shrimp- boat worker who lives in Irvington, was being held without bail on four counts of capital murder. If convicted, he could be sentenced to death or life in prison.
District Attorney John Tyson Jr. said Luong had confessed to throwing Ryan Phan, 3; Hannah Luong, 2; Lindsey Luong, 1; and Danny Luong, 4 months, off the 3-mile-long bridge last week after an argument with his wife.
