Please keep this family and our little community in your thoughts and prayers as we continue on this devastating journey.

The last two weeks have been a fog.

I can't begin to imagine what this mother is facing as her four angels have been found.

Candlelight vigils have been held and are continuing to be held.

I will post the date of the Memorial Vigil as this family and our community can use all the thoughts and prayers I know the GP Community will lift up.

The last of the four children allegedly thrown from the Dauphin Island bridge by their father was believed to have been recovered Sunday from the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana -- a nearly 120-mile, 13-day journey for the body of 2-year-old Hannah Luong.

"It's an astonishing journey for the little girl," said John Tyson Jr. Mobile County District Attorney.

News that U.S. Coast Guard recovered the remaining body halted a local search based out of Bayou La Batre and brought relief to the children's family. Kam Phengsisomboun, the children's uncle, said his family is almost sure that the body belongs to Hannah, but they are awaiting positive identification.

The children's mother, Kieu Ngoc Phan, 23, took this latest news the hardest, Phengsisomboun said. He said her strong reaction may actually have been out of happiness that all her children have been located.

"This one is a little bit harder," Phengsisomboun said. "All the babies are going to be home."

Capt. Paul Stewart, leader of the Mobile County Sheriff's Flotilla, said he and his fellow searchers were relieved and hoped the find will bring closure to the children's family.

About 10 a.m. Sunday a fishing vessel, Crystal Lynn, spotted Hannah's body about 5.5 miles east of the southwest pass of Mississippi River.

Authorities launched Coast Guard units -- including a falcon jet from Mobile -- to recover the body but were not immediately successful.

Later in the day, another fishing boat called from the same vicinity after spotting the body.

The second tip led Coast Guard authorities to find the decomposing body and bring it back to Venice, La., which is about 80 miles southwest of New Orleans.

The bodies of Hannah's siblings were found much closer to the two-lane bridge of Alabama 193, where there father is accused of throwing them Jan. 7 into the Mississippi Sound.

Lindsey Luong, 1, was found in Mississippi last week. Ryan Phan, 3, was found Jan. 13 near Grand Bay. The day before, Danny Luong, 4 months, had been located about three miles east of where his brother was found.

Their father, Lam Luong, 37, is being held without bail at Mobile County Metro Jail on four counts of capital murder. Police said Luong confessed to throwing the children from the 80-foot-tall bridge as an act of revenge against his wife. Luong is not Ryan Phan's biological father but had raised the boy since infancy.

Luong, who has a history of crack-cocaine abuse, has worked as a shrimper. He is an Amerasian refugee -- the son of a Vietnamese mother and a U.S. serviceman.

Jan. 7. Lam Luong, 37, of Irvington allegedly tossed his four children off the Dauphin Island bridge after an argument with his wife. Later that day, Luong reported his children missing to the Bayou La Batre Police Department, claiming that a woman who had his children had not returned them.

Jan. 8. In the evening, authorities launched a search of the waters near the bridge. The search was prompted by Luong's confession to police earlier that day that he killed his children by throwing them off the bridge on Alabama 193. Luong was charged with four counts of capital murder in the deaths of Ryan Phan, 3, Hannah Long, 2, Lindsey Luong, 2, and Danny Luong, 4 months. He was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail.

Jan. 9. Rescue workers began their first full day of searching at day break, scouring large swaths of Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound by boat and helicopter.

Jan. 10. In the morning, a judge denied bond to Luong, who has a history of crack-cocaine abuse. Later that day, in a statement to his lawyer, Luong recanted his confession that he threw his four children off the Dauphin Island bridge and said instead that he gave them to two women whom he did not know.

Jan. 11. Authorities continued searching, saying that they did not believe Luong's recantation. "All of the credible evidence brings us right back here to Dauphin Island," Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran said then. Witnesses placed Luong on the bridge Monday morning with the four children, Cochran said.

Jan. 12. A duck hunter found the body of the youngest of the children, 4-month-old Danny Luong. The decomposed body was found in the area known as Point Aux Pins, a peninsula of land between Portersville Bay and Grand Bay, at about 9 a.m.

Jan. 13. Two men looking for oysters found the body of the oldest of four children. The body of Ryan Phan, 3, washed up into the marshlands of Bayou La Fourche Bay in Grand Bay.

Jan. 14. A candle light vigil was held for the children at the Bayou La Batre city docks off Shell Belt Road.

Jan. 15. The body of a young girl washed ashore in the marshlands of eastern Mississippi and was discovered by a marine patrol officer Tuesday morning. Authorities did not immediately identify the body but later said it was Lindsey Luong, 1.

Jan. 20. The U.S. Coast Guard recovered the final body, believed to be of Hannah Luong, 2, in the mouth of the Mississippi River in Louisiana.
