Georgia Woman's Boyfriend Missing Since Brussels Attack

Emily Eisenman, of Athens, says her boyfriend was on his way to the airport to come see her.

ATHENS, GA -- A Georgia woman is still hoping to speak to her boyfriend, whom she last heard from when he was on his way to the airport in Brussels shortly before Tuesday's terror attacks.

Emily Eisenman, 21, of Athens, told WSB-TV that Bart Migom, also 21, was on his way to come see her and texted her from a train on the way to the airport.

"It’s been the worst days of my life," she told the station. "He did send me a message saying I'm on a train, you know, just excited to see me. And that was the last I heard of him."

She said she now gets no answer when she calls Migom's phone. She said Migom's family in Belgium hasn't heard from him either.

“I'm just hoping for a sign of some sort that he is OK,” Eisenman told the station.
