A man believed to be a missing US citizen has been discovered in Damascus, Syria, where he informed reporters that he had recently been released from jail. The individual, suspected to be 29-year-old Missouri resident Travis Timmerman, was found by locals wandering barefoot in a neighborhood just south of Damascus.
According to reports, the man claiming to be Timmerman stated that he had been held in a Syrian prison for seven months after illegally entering the country by crossing the border from Lebanon. He mentioned that his reason for traveling to Syria was for spiritual purposes.
