'MY NAME IS CLEO'

TAKEN IN THE NIGHT, A HUGE SEARCH ENDED IN A MIRACLE

Her kidnapper is behind bars, but Cleo Smith is still suffering from the trauma she experienced during her harrowing 18day ordeal in October 2021.

“She has her sad nights, her nightmare nights,” Cleo’s mum, Ellie Smith, told 60 Minutes in May.

Cleo was taken from her tent at night while sleeping on a camping trip in Western Australia. Upon discovering their girl was missing, Ellie and Jake Gliddon, Cleo’s stepdad, frantically searched the area before calling 000.
