Lam Luong, 37, is charged with four counts of capital murder.
We have new information about the family of the four children whose father says he threw them off the Dauphin Island Bridge. The family tells News 5 that the youngest child, a four month old had heart problems and had just gotten out of the hospital. Cam Phengsisomboun, the children’s uncle, says the family’s home flooded during Hurricane Katrina and they moved to Hinesville, Georgia. They had just returned to South Mobile County.
Phengsisomboun also tells News 5 there may be a witness to the crime. He says a Dauphin Island man spotted a van that looks like the one belonging to the family on the bridge. Phengsisomboun says the witness saw three children in the back of the van and a man with a plastic bag. We are expecting a news conference in about 45 minutes. We will carry it live here on WKRG.com
