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.
