ATLANTA -- Friends of an Army veteran missing since Tuesday worry he may be in the middle of a PTSD episode.

Atlanta police tell 11Alive's Julie Wolfe they responded to a call for a missing person Tuesday morning at the Hangovers Bar in Buckhead. Jeanette Kunitz reported her friend, Randal Andrew Ackerman, was last seen there around 2 a.m. Tuesday. He lives in Sandy Springs and was in the city going out after attending a Braves game.

When he stopped answering his phone, she called mutual friends who also were unable to locate him.

Ackerman's roommate said he hasn't been home. Kunitz told police she was concerned because Ackerman suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and could be in the middle of an episode. He was recently honorably discharged from the Army after a tour in Afghanistan. He's served for more than ten years and had also been stationed in Iraq for multiple tours.
