Just before 1 o’clock on Wednesday morning, West Australian police broke into a locked house in the coastal town of Carnarvon to find missing four-year-old Cleo Smith.

It was a remarkable, happy ending to the search for the young girl, after she disappeared from the family’s tent during a trip to the popular blowholes campsite north of Carnarvon more than two weeks ago.

Today on Please Explain, WAToday reporter Peter De Kruijff joins Rachel Clun to discuss the twists and turns of this case.
