“Grave concerns” for young girl missing in Western Australia

Australian police are continuing their search for missing child Cleo Smith, saying they have “grave concerns” for the four-year-olds safety

Cleo was sleeping in her family’s tent on Saturday morning, and her mother says the tent was open and the girl was missing the following morning.

An extensive air, land and sea search is continuing, with the girls’ mother saying the past few days have been “horrendous”.

The case has attracted national and international attention with authorities yet to confirm what they think happened to the girl.

Meanwhile, regional Inspector Jon Munday spoke to Sunrise and says investigators could not rule out the possibility that she might have been “taken and removed from the area”.
