No -- not AWOL as far as I know. He's been home from Iraq somewhere around a year.

Eight months after returning from Iraq, a Hamilton, Ohio, Army sergeant has gone missing.

Garry Jones, 24, was last seen leaving his apartment last Saturday morning, driving a late 1980's maroon Chevrolet Cavalier.

Mother: Something Was Wrong

Janice Jones, the sergeant's mother, said when she went inside his apartment, she instantly knew there was a problem.

"All his clothes are there. His duffel bag, his luggage, nothing was missing," Janice Jones told 9News.

Janice Jones said she doesn't know anyone who would want to hurt her son and she can't rule out that he might try and hurt himself. She said her son had been demonstrating classic signs of post traumatic stress disorder since returning from his tour of duty.

About Jones

Garry Jones returned from Iraq in November of 2005 after a 13 month tour that put him on the front lines. Jones told his family very little about his experiences.

After his return, Jones settled in Hamilton, finding a job and an apartment.

Well....maybe he's just trying to clear his head. Returning home is a happily anticipated event but often vets return to unkind treatment from acquaintances and friends who disagree with the policies they were obligated to carry out.

Probably doesn't help that he comes from Ohio.......Murtha Country?
