‘Tip of the iceberg’ into investigation of missing 4-year-old girl Cleo Smith found in locked house
Four-year-old Cleo Smith was found alive and well in a locked house after being taken from her campsite in Western Australia over two weeks ago
The young girl disappeared from her family’s tent and was declared missing by authorities for 19 days.
The world was watching and waiting with bated breath as police and the local community conducted a massive land, air and sea search, seemingly to no avail.
But police forced their way into a home in the town of Carnarvon early Wednesday morning and found Cleo alive and well in one of the rooms.
One of the police officers picked her up into his arms and asked her, “what’s your name?” and she replied, “my name is Cleo”.
These four words have been published right around the world alongside a photo of Cleo happy and smiling after being taken to hospital for observation and tests.
A 36-year-old man is currently being held in custody and is being questioned by detectives over Cleo’s disappearance.
As we await to hear if the man in custody will be charged for the disappearance, serious questions still remain as to what happened to Cleo over the course of those 19 days and what the intentions were of her alleged abductor

Trump sends Kushner and Witkoff to Egypt for hostage deal as Gaza crisis deepens
Trump sends Kushner and Witkoff to Egypt for urgent hostage negotiations amid escalating Gaza violence and fragile peace talks.
Trump sends Kushner and Witkoff to Egypt for urgent hostage negotiations amid escalating Gaza violence and fragile peace talks.
President Trump has dispatched Jared Kushner and real estate magnate Steve Witkoff to Egypt in an urgent diplomatic effort to finalise a hostage release agreement. The move marks one of the most significant interventions since Trump’s re-emergence on the global stage, as violence continues to escalate in Gaza.
Both Hamas and Israel have cautiously endorsed the framework of Trump’s peace proposal, though sticking points remain over the terms of prisoner exchanges and territorial concessions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear that Israel will not agree to any conditions that undermine its national security or sovereignty.
On the ground, the humanitarian toll continues to rise, with mounting casualties in Gaza and widespread destruction. Civilians trapped in the conflict zones are pleading for relief and an end to the fighting as world powers scramble to broker a breakthrough.
