Carnarvon / Australia - It sounds like every parent's absolute nightmare: a girl disappears from her family's camping tent.

The girl may have been kidnapped from the tent while her parents were sleeping.
Investigators assume a crime, meanwhile the body of the four-year-old is searched.
Eerie parallel to the missing Maddie McCann: Was Cleo (4) kidnapped from her parents' tent?
The family wanted to go on holiday to a campsite in Western Australia. But there has been no trace of little Cleo for a week. As Australian media unanimously report, investigators now believe that the girl was kidnapped from the tent. While his parents and younger sister slept. Immediately the area was searched for little Cleo. Local media now see parallels with the Maddie McCann case. The little blonde girl from Great Britain disappeared without a trace from a holiday resort on vacation in Portugal, and there is still no trace of her to this day.
That the child could have left the tent alone in the night is out of the question for investigators.
As the British
The Sun
reports, investigators should be convinced that they would have long since discovered a trace of the child in this case.
In addition, the girl's sleeping bag disappeared together with the child.
And: the zipper of the tent is too high for the four-year-old.
That is why they are now looking for the girl's body.
As the newspaper reports, citing a police spokesman, several registered sex offenders are said to have been in the vicinity at the time of the crime.
They have all been questioned.
