Cleo Smith's mum says 'family is whole again' after being reunited with daughter
"It was a really good experience."
And after a few prompts the four-year-old replied "my name's Cleo" - much to the relief of those around her.With a big grin on her face, she was later pictured by Police in a hospital bed before eventually being reunited with her family. "To be woken at 4.50am with my phone going crazy at 4.50am and see the words Cleo is home alive and safe," the friend wrote on Facebook.
Meanwhile, the authorities have since arrested the suspect - who was described by neighbours as "quiet" - having been seen uncharacteristically buying nappies in the last few days. He revealed that one of the officers picked the four-year-old girl up in his arms, before asking what her name was.
