Join Stephanie and Olivia this week as they cover the highly-requested, insane story of the abduction and safe (!) recovery of 4 y/o Cleo Smith in Western Australia.

Cleo went on a camping trip with her Mum Ellie, Dad Jake and baby sister Isla on October 15. The area where the family was camping was very beautiful but remote. Cleo woke up at 1.30am on October 16 and asked her mum for a drink of water. When Ellie woke up again at 6am, Cleo and her sleeping bag were missing from the tent.

One of the largest and most comprehensive police investigations ever undertaken in Australian history began at 6.23am on October 16.

Drones and spy planes were used. Hundreds of full-time police officers were assigned to Cleo's case and they worked tirelessly for weeks on end. They even searched through tons of rubbish, collected from an area spanning thousands of kilometres, looking for the smallest clue.

On November 6, 18 days after Cleo disappeared, the unexpected happened. CLEO WAS FOUND SAFE! She was found playing with toys at around 1am in a locked house just MINUTES from her own home.

A man named Terence Kelly has been arrested for Cleo's abduction and will face court again in December.

And just when you think this story could not get any more unbelievable, it does. Terence had an extensive social media presence, made up of fake accounts for 'family members' that he made up. He also had a huge obsession with Bratz dolls - his house was a shrine to them. Are these the toys that Cleo was found playing with? Most of the accounts have been removed, but we have the receipts. Terence even followed Cleo's parents on social media.

Was this really a random stranger abduction as per the police? Or did Terence have an obsession with Cleo and her family?
