MOBILE, Alabama (AP) -- A second body was recovered Sunday in the search for four children allegedly thrown from a coastal bridge by their father, police said.

The search for the children -- ranging in age from a few months to 3 years -- began Tuesday near the mouth of Mobile Bay after prosecutors said the father, Lam Luong, confessed.

"The inevitable nightmare we have feared has now been confirmed," Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran said. "We believe, certainly now, that the father of these children threw these children off the Dauphin Island bridge."

When told that her infant's body had been found, a grief-stricken Phan wept, comforted by an associate pastor at a Vietnamese congregation that includes some members of her family.

Through an interpreter, Phan asked, "Why didn't he kill me instead of the children? It's too much hurting."

Luong, 37, a shrimp boat worker who lives in Irvington, was being held without bond on four counts of capital murder. If convicted, he could be sentenced to death or life in prison without parole.

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 three-mile-long bridge after an argument with his wife.

[The argument, by the way, is because this guy is a violent pig crack addict, "allegedly," who is awaiting trial on a crack charge since October.]

Please pray for this poor woman who has had her four INFANTS murdered and now faces (thankfully not alone as her faith community supports her) the worst pain a true human can experience.

She is a Christian lady but I ask for the prayers of all people for her, as God hears all prayers said in love and sincerity.
