This Was The Moment A 4 Year Old Girl Was Rescued From Her Doll Collecting Kidnapper

Police managed to track down missing four-year-old girl Cleo Smith after tracing phone signals near the Australian outback campsite she vanished from.


The remote campsite is located next to three phone towers that were installed in 2018, meaning it has far stronger signal than the nearby town of Carnarvon, Western Australia.

Although police have not yet released all the details about how they found Cleo, they have admitted that phone data and a tip-off about a car in the area played a crucial role.

Large swathes of the outback are reportedly "dead zones" for mobile phone signal, meaning it was a stroke of luck that the campsite was near new phone masts.

Officers rescued the youngster from a locked home in Carnarvon after arresting Terence Darrell Kelly, who has been charged with forcibly taking a child under 16.
