Australian officials wept with relief after seeing body camera video of a police officer scooping up four-year-old Cleo Smith and hearing her say, ‘My name is Cleo.’ A 36-year-old local man was arrested
Police smashed their way into a suburban house on Wednesday and rescued a 4-year-old girl whose disappearance from her family’s camping tent on Australia’s remote west coast more than two weeks ago both horrified and captivated the nation.
“It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. The fact that that nightmare has come to an end and our worst fears were not realized is just a huge relief, a moment for great joy,” Morrison told reporters. A vehicle was reported speeding away from the area in the dark hours of the morning. A zipper on a flap of the tent compartment where Cleo and her sister were sleeping was too high for the girl to have reached.
Fuller had called across the country from Sydney on the east coast, to Perth in the west, to congratulate Dawson on the outcome. “It’s a really joyous occasion. We don’t always get these sort of outcomes, and while we were very, very concerned, we didn’t lose hope,” Dawson said.
