BAYOU LA BATRE, Ala. - Authorities in Alabama are searching for the bodies of four young children believed to have been thrown off a bridge by their father.
Police say Lam Luong, 37, of Irvington, Ala., confessed Tuesday night to tossing the youngsters off the Dauphin Island bridge.
The bridge is as much as 24 metres above the water in places.
The children ranged in age from four month to three years.
Police say Luong first reported them missing Monday, telling authorities that a woman who had the children failed to return them to him.
Det. Scott Riva says Luong faces four counts of capital murder.
Missing and presumed dead were four-month-old Danny Luong; one-year-old Lindsey Luong; two-year-old Hannah Luong and three-year-old Ryan Phan.
Phan was not Luong's biological child, but he raised him from infancy, authorities said.
At least three boats were being used in the search, and the U.S. Coast Guard was sending another boat and a helicopter, Riva said.
"It's been a nightmare," he added.
Luong was jailed in Mobile, and Riva said he did not know whether he had a lawyer.
The Dauphin Island bridge connects coastal Alabama to a barrier island located about five kilometres south of Mobile Bay in the Gulf of Mexico.

Strip him naked and place him in a 'v' shaped pit which is lined with razor blades. The bottom should be lined with gas nozzles like on a stove which ignite one by one. In his panic, he'd most likely try to scale the slopes and get slashed to pieces in the process.
2)
Remove his eyelids and place him on a surgical table underneath a TV screen which shows himself from above.
Paralyse him with drugs, make him totally pain free but force him to watch his slow and professional surgical dec More..

Think of those poor kids as they experience their own father throwing them off a bridge.
I say just release him into a prison population that knows what he did. Lethal injection is too good for this punk. Much better to have another convicted sociopath get medieval on his a**.
