A US citizen, Travis Pete Timmerman, age 29, who went missing in Hungary earlier this year, has been found in Syria. He was discovered by residents wandering barefoot in a neighborhood just south of Damascus. In a video posted on Thursday, Timmerman identified himself as Travis and mentioned that he is from the United States. Timmerman hails from Missouri, and an alert regarding his disappearance was issued by Hungarian police back in June.
It remains unclear how Timmerman managed to reach Syria and whether he was detained by any authorities upon entering the country. The circumstances surrounding his journey from Hungary to Syria are currently unknown.
