MEXICO CITY - Zoila Edith Marquez Chiu, a journalist missing since Dec. 7 in the central Mexican state of Zacatecas, is back home and in good condition, officials said Tuesday.

"The parents of the journalist were the ones who informed authorities that their daughter is at home, unharmed and in good health," Zacatecas Attorney General Arturo Nahle Garcia said in a statement.

Prosecutors will wait until they have spoken with Marquez before deciding what course of action to take, the AG said.

"Zoila is the one who will have to explain to her family and the journalistic profession the reasons why she was gone," Nahle Garcia said.

Gov. Miguel Alonso Reyes ordered a wide-ranging operation to find the journalist after she was reported missing earlier this month, the AG said.
