In This Story: Cleo Smith

Cleo Smith was last seen sleeping in her family’s tent at the Quobba Blowholes camping ground in Western Australia on the night of Friday 15th October 2021.

She was missing the next morning when her mother woke up, police say. Her sleeping bag was also gone.

Incredibly, she was found, after a tip-off led police to raid a “locked house” in Carnarvon – just six minutes from her home – where she was found, on the evening of 2/3 November 2021. A 36 year old man was arrested at the scene. Cleo had been missing for 18 days.
