Where’s Cleo Smith (4)? Together with her parents, the girl stayed at a campsite in western Australia. But on Sunday morning, her mother, Ellie Smith, notices that her child has disappeared – and the family tent is open.
The police have been looking for the child since then. “It is the position of the zipper at the tent entrance that makes us stomach ache too,” said chief investigator Jon Munday, according to the British “Guardian”. The zipper had been opened so high that it was impossible for a four-year-old to reach it.
Campers have heard tires screeching
Like the transmitter «7News» reports, the police are now targeting known sex offenders. Investigative circles have learned that around 10 to 20 sex offenders live in the area around the Quobba Blowholes in the state of Western Australia. People who have been identified as having committed sex crimes in the past.
The police are investigating, but so far have no trace of the child. According to the broadcaster, campers heard tires screeching at night. The police confirmed this at the request of “7News”. However, it is unclear whether the noise has anything to do with the girl’s disappearance. However, the police are not ruling anything out.
In the morning the tent was open
The girl’s mother explains in an interview with “ABC Australia”: “We put Cleo in the tent at 8 p.m. after dinner so she could sleep. She woke me up shortly after 1.30 a.m. and asked for water. ”
She gave her child something to drink and made sure that Cleo fell asleep again. The next morning she noticed that the partition between the different sleeping compartments was open. Cleo has been nowhere to be found. (euc)
