Angela Anderson’s family has been waiting days for news.

Her boyfriend, Donald Henderson, told TV station WDRB she was at the metal scrapping center Grade A Auto Parts in Louisville Tuesday night when a nearby UPS plane crashed during takeoff, killing 12 people.

She hasn’t been heard from since.

The search continues for several missing people.

“She’s all I got,” Henderson told WDRB Tuesday night.

Henderson went to a reunification center for victims in Louisville with the father of Anderson’s children, William Moreland.

“I hope she’s all right,” said Moreland, who has two children with Anderson.

“I know we aren’t the only ones,” Henderson said.

 

When a UPS plane crashed during takeoff Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport on Tuesday evening, Grade A Auto Parts was one of two Kentucky businesses hit. The death toll from the crash rose to 12 Wednesday evening.

On Wednesday, Moreland’s sister, Violet Bertschy, told the Herald-Leader that Angela Anderson was 45.

“She was scrapping metal and never returned home. My brother reported her missing. We have not heard anything yet,” said Bertschy.

WLKY in Louisville reported that three “Grade A Auto Parts employees remain unaccounted for, and there is reason to believe that customers may have been on site.”

Kyler Collins, who said he works at Grade A Autoparts, told the Herald-Leader he was at home Tuesday when the plane crashed.

He said three of his fellow employees, including Jonny Houck, are still missing. “John is a very special type of guy, he’d give you his shirt off his back. He’s always there for you when no one else is, unfortunately he is missing after the plane crash,” Collins said.

Collins said the other two who are missing are women whose full names he did not know.
