CNN —A man thought to be a missing US citizen has been found in Damascus, Syria, telling reporters he had recently been freed from jail. The man is believed to be Missouri resident Travis Timmerman, 29, and he was found by residents wandering barefoot in a neighborhood just south of Damascus. In video posted Thursday, the man says only: “My name is Travis,” and adds that he is from the United States. His time being held in the Syrian prison “wasn’t too bad,” he said, according to the outlet. An alert that Timmerman had gone missing was posted by Hungarian police in August, though a Facebook post written by a family friend said that he had been missing since June.
