This has been on the news since the 16th of October. Some Great News for the family. [A four-year-old girl missing for 18 days in a remote part of Western Australia has been found alive and well in a locked house, police have said. Cleo Smith disappeared from her family's tent at a campsite near the town of Carnarvon on 16 October, triggering a massive search effort. Police smashed their way into a locked house in Carnarvon at 01:00 local time, where they found her. A 36-year-old man from Carnarvon is in custody and being questioned by police. "A police team broke their way into a locked house... They found little Cleo in one of the rooms," Western Australian Deputy Commissioner Col Blanch said in a statement on Wednesday. "One of the officers picked her up into his arms and asked her 'What's your name?' She said 'My name is Cleo'," he added. The four-year-old has now been reunited with her parents, who had made desperate and emotional pleas for Cleo's return since she vanished. "Our family is whole again," Ellie Smith, Cleo's mother wrote on Instagram.] [Australian PM Scott Morrison, who is now heading home after being in Scotland for the COP26 climate summit, tweeted that it was "wonderful, relieving news".] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-59143494 Last edited by arista; 03-11-2021 at 01:08 AM. |
