Abducted 4yo girl Cleo found after 18 days missing

From Checkpoint, 5:05 pm on 3 November 2021

It was remarkably good news for Perth today as the little Australian girl abducted while on a camping trip with her family 18 days ago was found alive.

She was locked in a house just minutes away from her own family home. The four-year-old was silently taken from a tent at a rural campsite in Western Australia in the dead of the night while her parents slept.

It sparked a massive police hunt and today they raided a house in Carnarvon - a town about 75 kilometres south of the campsite - and they found Cleo in one of the rooms.

A man has been taken into custody and Cleo has been reunited with her family.

Channel 9's Joshua Dawe talks through the details with Lisa Owen.
