Show Notes
In January 2008, four children Hannah, Lindsey, Danny and Ryan were killed by their father and stepfather Lam Luong. He threw them all off the Dauphin Bridge in Alabama. Their mother, 23 year old Kieu Phan was left devastated. They ranged in age from 3 years to 4 months old.
Luong was controlling and had substance misuse issues, he saw the children as his property and extension of himself and used them to control and seek revenge on his wife.
Having been found guilty of the murders of four children, Luong was originally sentenced to death but is now serving life without parole.
This is the story of the Luong Family. ________________________________________________________________
