(OANN) – A Missouri man has been found in Syria after being imprisoned for months. On Thursday, the man who identified himself as Travis Timmerman was found after he spent months in a Syrian prison after he crossed into the country on a “pilgrimage” to Damascus.

According to reports, it was not widely known that the man who disappeared in Hungary in May, was in Syria. His discovery came as thousands of detainees were released from jails following President Bashar al-Assad’s overthrow over the weekend.

Timmerman was first seen in a video that surfaced overnight, leading some to mistake him for missing American journalist Austin Tice.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
