Montgomery County police and Walter Reed Army Medical Center officials said Tuesday they believe a missing Iraq war veteran and Silver Spring resident who threatened suicide last week is safe and with his family in Michigan.

Montgomery County police spokesman Rodney Barnes said county police officers had spoken on the phone with somebody they believed to be Sgt. James David Doyle, 23, on Monday afternoon. Doyle had served two tours of duty in Iraq with the U.S. Army and was receiving treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder at Walter Reed, police officials said.
