GERMANTOWN - A southeastern Wisconsin woman is looking for answers after her husband takes his own life.
An alarming text came from him moments before a flight Karen Momsen-Evers was on took off.
"I go to sleep at night thinking what could I have done, what should I have done," Evers said.
Evers is talking about the death of her husband Andy. He killed himself after sending her a text asking her for forgiveness for taking his life.
"I started shaking the minute I got the text and I was panicked, I didn't know what to do," She said.
Karen was flying from New Orleans back to Milwaukee after taking a girls trip down south. The text came as flight attendants were doing their final cabin checks.
The woman returned her husband's text telling him "no", but when she went to call him, a flight attendant told her to turn her phone off.
"The steward slapped the phone down and said you need to go on airplane mode now," She said.
Karen says she explained the situation and said the worker told her it was "FAA regulations".
Once the flight reached cruising altitude Momsen-Evers says she explained the situation to another attendant.
"I begged her, I said I'm sure someone can make an emergency phone call," But Karen says the woman told her there was nothing she could do.
"I just wanted someone to go and try to save him," she added
She says she sat in her seat looking at the text sobbing for the next two hours.
Karen tells TODAY'S TMJ4 she was finally allowed to call Police when the plane arrived at the gate in Milwaukee.
When the woman arrived home she was met by Officers who told her Andy had killed himself.
"They got on their knees, put their hats over their heart and gave me the I regret to inform you that your husband has died," She said.
Southwest Airlines offered a statement to TODAY'S TMJ4.
"Our hearts go out to the Evers family during this difficult time." They said.
The airline went on to say, "Flight attendants are trained to notify the Captain if there is an emergency that poses a hazard to the aircraft or to the passengers on-board."
"In this situation, the pilots were not notified."
Haunting words, Karen believes could have changed the outcome for a man who needed help.
"The pain of knowing something could have been done, it breaks my heart."

dont you need more proof than that to make a thread like this though... Girls trips are shady at best 50/50 but you need at least circumstantial evidence or a smoking gun...
