WASHINGTON and LONDON — The United States 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 want to help 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 her last contact, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
It was not immediately clear when or where the circulating video was taken, but the man speaking Arabic to the camera identifies the man as American, according to a translation. The speaker was identified as a local from Syria.
Police in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, issued a notice seeking information on Timmerman in August, saying he was missing.
“According to the data available, the 29-year-old man was last seen in a church in district II, and since then he has gone to an unknown place, without any trace of life,” said the police, according to a translation.
