The statement expressed grave concerns for Cleo's safety and said that the WA police were exploring all possibilities, with a number of investigative resources assisting them, including detectives from the Homicide Squad as well as forensics and local detectives.
The statement further mentioned other details about the girl's disappearance. She was wearing a pink sleepsuit with blue and yellow patterns, when she was last seen, and that she was sleeping in a red and black sleeping bag then.

According to the report by CNN, it further adds that the Smith family were familiar with the Macleod area as they often went camping there.

The girl's mother, Ellie, made a Facebook post, appealing for any information on her daughter's disappearance.
In the post, she mentioned how it had been over 24 hours since she had not seen her daughter, and to help her find Cleo. She urged users to call the police if they knew anything at all. She added that she had last seen the girl at 1:30 am and when woken up at 6 am, she was missing. The police did not provide any other details, except hinting at a sleeping bag is missing from the campsite, as per reports.
