The most wonderful news. I had goosebumps when I heard the news. Seems like such a miracle, a positive outcome beyond hoping for. Feeling quite emotional, I can't even begin to imagine the overwhelming sense of relief for her family.

In pieces here. Those pictures of her with her family my heart broke when it seemed like she was gone. Can’t imagine the relief the family must be feeling right now. I hope the whole family can heal from this horrible event and the media leave them to recover with privacy.

Omg!!!! This has made me so happy. Thank goodness. Oh I am so relieved. I got goosebumps reading this.

The most amazing news!!! I have goosebumps from head to toe!!

Wonderful news. I hope she has no lasting effects from this. Maybe it was someone she knew who took her. I'm so glad she is safe.

I am so, so happy and relieved to read that after 18 days, she's safely back with her mum and dad! Poor little Cleo - what an ordeal! My prayers have been answered.

Absolutely wonderful news!!!!

Just seen on the news she was found in a house in her home town 50 miles away, not local to the campground.

Apparently OK, back with family.

A 36 yo man with no connection to the family has been arrested

Wonderful news.

Am also thinking today of those parents for whom there has been no happy ending.

GrandmasNightgown · 03/11/2021 09:23

The man in custody was known to the police, but they're not saying more at this stage about why

I'm so happy she's been found, her family must be so relieved to have her home.

Hm2020 · 04/11/2021 15:17

I can’t imagine the horror she must have felt I keep hoping maybe he has mental illness and wanted a child to play with as he has an obsession with dolls and it was nothing more sinister although of course still awful. I cannot imagine what her family have been through when they said what the odds of being found alive that Long after a stranger abduction the police must have been looking for a body.

Credit to the Australian police ! Amazing in such a big country ! I just can't imagine that she wasn't hurt though 😩
