The video shows Detective Senior Sergeant Cameron Blaine talking to Cleo.

“Cleo, my name’s Cameron, are you OK? We’re going to take you to see your mummy and daddy, is that good?” Detective Blaine asks the four-year-old as she nods.

Broadcasting from Carnarvon, Perth LIVE’s Oliver Peterson says the mood is extraordinary.

“For 18 days we have collectively held our breath, hoping, wondering and just waiting for news,” he said. “Didn’t we wake up to the most astonishing developments. The best news.”

Support has flourished in from the public about the hard work form the WA Police Force.

“Hasn’t the Western Australian Police Force done an incredible job in returning Cleo to her mother’s arms,” Oliver Peterson said.

Detective Superintendent and Head of the ROIDA Taskforce, Rod Wilde, says the finding is “surreal”.

“As time passed by we became more and more concerned so to get this outcome, it’s just brilliant. The whole community was behind us. The information we were receiving and the support,” he said.
