Four-year-old Cleo Smith has been found alive and well, more than two weeks after she went missing at a campsite on Western Australia's northwest coast.
She was rescued from a locked house in Carnarvon, some 75 kilometres south of where she went missing, about 1am on Wednesday by WA Police.
"One of the officers picked her up into his arms and asked her 'what's your name?'" Deputy Commissioner Col Blanch said.
"She said - 'My name is Cleo.'"
The girl is well and has been reunited with her mother Ellie Smith.
A man from Carnarvon is in custody and being questioned by police.
"This is the outcome we all hoped and prayed for. It's the outcome we've achieved because of some incredible police work," Mr Blanch said, thanking Cleo's parents, the WA community, volunteers and his police officer colleagues.
"We'll have more to say on the rescue of Cleo as the day unfolds.
"For now - welcome home Cleo."
The little girl vanished from her family's tent at the Blowholes campsite, about 950km north of Perth, on October 16.
Investigators on Tuesday said they had spoken to more than 110 people who were at the campsite when she went missing but were yet to track down a driver of a car seen leaving in the middle of the night.
They believed she had been taken by an "opportunistic" offender.
