An American citizen who disappeared months ago was found Thursday outside Damascus after being released from a Syrian prison.
He said he was treated well in detention but could hear other young men being tortured.
A Syrian family told The Associated Press they found Timmerman barefoot on a main road in the Damascus countryside early Thursday.
He appeared cold and hungry, so they brought him back to their home.
Earlier this year, a Missouri State Highway Patrol bulletin identified him as “Pete Travis Timmerman,” 29, and stated he had gone missing in Hungary in early June while on a pilgrimage.
Timmerman’s mother, Stacey Collins Gardiner, told National Public Radio that he left for Budapest with the goal of writing about his Christian faith and helping people.
