Cancun, Q.R. — An Argentinean woman missing since April 6 has been found. The woman, who according to local authorities suffers from schizophrenia, was reported missing after running into a Cancun jungle area earlier this month.

On Friday, police said after more than a week of searching, she was located walking down a main city boulevard.

“After more than a week of intensive search efforts carried out in collaboration with the Interinstitutional Group, Argentine María Belén Zerda, who disappeared on April 6 of this year in Cancun, has been located safely.”
