This week, we needed a little bit of hope so while this story does involve someone who went missing, there is a resolution. Four-year-old Cleo Smith was camping with her family for the weekend. Her mother woke up one morning to find that Cleo was not in the tent, nor was she outside. At first, the hope was that she had simply wandered off, but the tent zipper being left unzipped way higher than Cleo could have reached cast doubt onto that.
