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 [the] info was not correct.
