The young girl was found at a house in a house in Carnarvon, Western Australia. She was located shortly after 1 in the morning on Wednesday, November 3rd.

Deputy Blanch said, "This is the outcome we all hoped and prayed for."
Prime Minister Scott Morrison tweeted following the news: "What wonderful, relieving news.
"Cleo Smith has been found and is home safe and sound. Our prayers answered."
He added, "Thank you to the many police officers involved in finding Cleo and supporting her family."
Cleo's mum shared a photo of her daughter on Instagram and simply wrote, "Our family is whole again."
Ellie Smith recently issued a public plea.
"Every day is getting harder without my shining bright light," Ellie said.
"Today she's missed Halloween with her family — her cousins, aunties uncles nannas, and pop but most of all her parents and baby sister. She needs us and we need her."
This is the ending we all hoped for. We couldn't be more relieved to hear Cleo is back with her family again.
