Her plea comes after police in Western Australia confirmed all evidence points to 4-year-old Cleo being abducted.

They issued an update with the public on Thursday, October 21st.

Speaking to reporters, the investigators revealed the tent was opened too high for the young girl to reach. This means an adult would have had to open it on the morning she vanished.

They have ruled out the possibility the 4-year-old wandered off on her own.

The Government of Western Australia announced a reward of up to $1 million for information resulting in finding Cleo or leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons involved in her suspicious disappearance.

Detective Superintendent Rob Wilde said current evidence and the length of time Cleo has been missing led them to believe Cleo was abducted.

The mum said somebody out there knows where her daughter is.
