CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Police smashed their way into a suburban house and rescued a 4-year-old girl whose disappearance from her family’s camping tent more than two weeks ago both horrified and captivated Australians. Officials wept with relief after seeing body camera video of a police officer scooping up the girl and hearing her say, “My name is Cleo.” The girl was reunited with her mother and stepfather soon after her rescue. A 36-year-old local man was arrested. Police credited “dogged, methodical police work” for the rescue and would not detail her ordeal during the time she was missing.
