Cleo Smith, a 4-year-old girl who went missing from an Australian campsite more than two weeks ago, has been returned safely to her parents after she was rescued by police from a locked house, authorities said
Police broke into a house in Carnarvon, a town about 100 km south of the campsite, early on Wednesday morning and found Cleo Smith in one of the rooms.
Cleo was last seen in her family's tent at about 1.30 a.m. local time on Oct. 16 at the remote Blowholes Shacks campsite in Macleod, about 900 km north of Perth, the capital of Western Australia state. When her parents woke next morning, she was gone. "What a great day. We now have returned Cleo to her loving parents. It's a wonderful day for this little girl and her loving family," WA Commissioner Chris Dawson said in a separate televised press appearance.
"She is physically OK. That was evident from the start," said state police homicide squad Senior Sergeant Cameron Blaine, who was one of four people to rescue the child.He said finding her was "without a doubt" the best moment of his career.Prime Minister Scott Morrison also welcomed the "wonderful, relieving news".
