The US believes a video circulating from Syria may show missing American Travis Pete Timmerman, officials say

The US believes a person seen in a video circulating online may be Travis Pete Timmerman, an American who disappeared from Hungary earlier this year, two officials familiar with the matter told ABC News.

Officials said they were trying to provide support to the person, who is not speaking in the short video and is seen lying on a mattress on the floor.

Timmerman, 29, has been missing since June 2, 2024, the date of his last contact, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

It was not immediately clear when or where the circulating video was shot, but the person speaking in Arabic to the camera identifies the man as American, according to a translation. The speaker was identified as a local Syrian.

Police in Budapest, Hungary’s capital, issued a statement in August seeking information about Timmerman, who they said had disappeared.

“According to available data, the 29-year-old man was last seen at a church in District II and has since gone to an unknown location with no sign of life,” police said, according to a translation.
