Walter Reed patient Sgt. James Doyle went missing this afternoon after leaving a message he was suicidal, Washington, D.C. news station WJLA-TV reported tonight. He was last seen at a gas station in Montgomery County.

Doyle, 25, served two tours in Iraq and is being treated at Walter Reed for PTSD. From video camera footage from the gas station, Doyle appears to be white. He was wearing a gray t-shirt, a black ball cap and sunglasses.

No story on WJLA's website yet. But check here later to see if they've put on up.

You can also check the Montgomery County Maryland Police website tomorrow morning.

A video of Sgt. Doyle speaking at a hearing about Walter Reed is on YouTube.

thanks for posting this. Prayers going up for this hurting soul. Gracious Father, surround him with Your love; open his eyes to that love. Do not let the evil one blind him and trick him into that whirlpool of despair. Be merciful to him Abba.

Hope they find Sgt. Doyle safe. The video is gut wrenching.

PTSD is a consequence of war, undoubtedly, and it doesn't seem like there is a good treatment for it. Unfortunately, some lousy ba$tard$ abuse the system and it hurts those who are truly suffering.

Suicidal and histrionic.

I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers (glad prayer lists are not like email lists with a number limit). Please let him be found by understanding people who do not stress or scare him more.

I just watched the video. I wonder if the commissioners followed through with him.

Prayers up for Sgt. Doyle.

I’m deliberating posting a thread on the Maryland PGR Forum...problem is it’s after midnight and wouldn’t be seen until tomorrow. Hopefully Sgt. Doyle will be found safely by then.

No harm in posting it tonight. The YouTube video will help people know what he looks like.
