Kidnapped for 2 weeks and found alive? WTF that is amazing police work - any idea how they managed to find the culprit and track them down?

I know they were going through and finding all the people who were at the camping area and trying to clear them. I’m going to assume the came across someone that was dodgy as fuck

It's amazing she was found alive. Kidnappers are going to kill their victim like 74% of the time at least in the US

Starting out in Aus, that's a long way to take them, and aren't the borders still closed right now anyway?

More than glad she has been found but can't help but feel a sinking feeling that someone has potentially kept her locked up for over 2 weeks.
As a parent to a child the same age, stories like this hit far too close to home.

Fantastic police work. Well done.

"It's the outcome we've achieved because of some incredible police work and I want to thank Cleo's parents, the West Australian community and all of the volunteers.

Unfortunately this is probably rare.

Glad she got found and not dismissing the value of her life. But cases like this happens all over the world every single day.
What makes hers extra special and worthy of "world" news ?
Someone please enlighten me.

four year olds go missing for four weeks and are found inside a house alive every day?
13
People go missing every day, yes.
I don't have the stats but I'm sure some of them would be found.

because she wasn't lost in the woods probably.

I'm a wanker because I'm pointing out this is not world news worthy in a subreddit called World News ?

I Googled "4yo missing girl found", and got results of this story from 6 different countries, so I'd say there are plenty of people who considered it "world news" worthy.
1
Because like 74% of the time they're more likely to be found dead instead of alive.

Ok you are probably right because it has been tagged as not the appropriate subreddit but I submitted it because:
-
I don't live in Australia and this was a big case in the "world" section of my country's newspapers and news sites (front page news when there was a development)
-
It's unusual for small children to go missing under those circumstances, not an everyday occurrence (most missing child cases in the developed world are either family kidnapping or older children running away)
-
the circumstances reminded me of internationally very famous missing persons cases such as the Chamberlain case or even the McCann case

She's white

That's it. It made worldwide news cause she's a little white girl.
I mean have you ever heard of any of these women and girls?
And that's just a select few from 1 city

There are many other tragic stories about missing people out there, from all walks of life.
The story is news because she's been found alive after so long.
Take some good news at face value and be happy a 4yo child will be reunited with her family.

Especially after so long!
Now I'm just hoping whatever that pos did is something she'll be able to deal with without affecting her too much.
