Join Stephanie and Olivia this week as they cover the highly-requested, insane story of the abduction and safe (!) recovery of 4 y/o Cleo Smith in Western Australia.
\\n
\\nCleo went on a camping trip with her Mum Ellie, Dad Jake and baby sister Isla on October 15.\\xa0 The area where the family was camping was very beautiful but remote.\\xa0 Cleo woke up at 1.30am on October 16 and asked her mum for a drink of water.\\xa0 \\xa0 When Ellie woke up again at 6am, Cleo and her sleeping bag were missing from the tent. \\xa0
\\n
\\nOne of the largest and most comprehensive police investigations ever undertaken in Australian history began at 6.23am on October 16.
\\n
\\nDrones and spy planes were used.\\xa0 Hundreds of full-time police officers were assigned to Cleo\'s case and they worked tirelessly for weeks on end.\\xa0 They even searched through tons of rubbish, collected from an area spanning thousands of kilometres, looking for the smallest clue.
\\n
\\nOn November 6, 18 days after Cleo disappeared, the unexpected happened.\\xa0 CLEO WAS FOUND SAFE!\\xa0 She was found playing with toys at around 1am in a locked house just MINUTES from her own home. \\xa0
\\n
\\nA man named Terence Kelly has been arrested for Cleo\'s abduction and will face court again in December.
\\n
\\nAnd just when you think this story could not get any more unbelievable, it does.\\xa0 Terence had an extensive social media presence, made up of fake accounts for \'family members\' that he made up.\\xa0 He also had a huge obsession with Bratz dolls - his house was a shrine to them.\\xa0 Are these the toys that Cleo was found playing with? \\xa0 Most of the accounts have been removed, but we have the receipts.\\xa0 Terence even followed Cleo\'s parents on social media. \\xa0
\\n
\\nWas this really a random stranger abduction as per the police?\\xa0 Or did Terence have an obsession with Cleo and her family?
