American families are still waiting to hear information on their loved ones that have been missing since the Brussels attacks on March 22.
Among the unaccounted for is couple Justin and Stephanie Shults. They had dropped off Stephanie’s mother at the airport when the attacks began.
The U.S. State Department had told the mother of Justin, Shelia, that they were safe. According to ABC News, she said she then received a phone call from a social worker in Belgium who said the couple was still missing.
She “wanted to know where I received this news, and that info was not correct, and wanted to make sure whoever has been reporting this on social media and the news, to take it down,” Shelia told ABC News.
“It’s been the worst days of my life. I just ... I guess I didn’t know how much one person can love another until, until you just don’t know where they are at. I’m just hoping for a sign of some sort that he is OK,” she added.
The attacks in Brussels that were perpetrated by three suicide bombers killed 34 and injured 270. Bombs went off in the Brussels airport and metro system. ISIS claimed responsibility for the attacks shortly afterwards.
