The deaths occurred Jan. 7, 2008, over Mobile Bay where law officials say the children were thrown from the Dauphin Island Bridge. They ranged in age from 4 months to 3 years.
Mobile County Sheriff's Department accused Lam Luong of throwing his children from the bridge after arguing with the children's mother, Kieu Phan. His capital murder trial begins March 9 in Mobile.
The bodies of 3-year-old Ryan Phan, 2-year-old Hannah Luong, 1-year-old Lindsey Luong and 4-month-old Danny Luong were found within a two-week period in three states as government agencies and residents across southern Alabama, Mississppi and Lousiana searched for the missing children.
Ryan and Danny were found in marshes of Alabama, Lindsey in Mississippi near Chevron Inc., and Hannah in the open ocean of Louisiana.
Law enforcement included Jackson County Sheriff's and Pascagoula Police departments and the Coast Guard, as well as fishermen, marine and wildlife personnel, and residents all along this southern coastal area.
Vigils and rememberances were held during the holidays and earlier this month for the children to mark the day of their passing, and to continue support for their mother and other family members.
