Intermittent no start problem

Looking for advice in finding the answer to an intermittent cold start problem with my 2004 Aero. Three times in the past month it has failed to start. When I turn the key the starter will not crank (in park or in neutral). I don't think it is a charging problem, as I have hooked up a voltmeter, which shows 11-12 volts when the car is not running (13.5-14.2 when running). I also don't believe it is the ignition switch as the headlights and heater fan go on when I turn the key and I believe that I can hear the fuel pump.
In each case, I have left the car and come back an hour or so later and it starts fine. I have noticed that on occasion, the car will make a squealing sound for an instant after starting, almost as if the starter has failed to engage. I am considering changing out the starter motor, but don't want to go through that process (did it a few years ago on a different 9-5 and recall that it was a PITA), only to find that the starter is not the cause of my problem.
