The nation breathed a collective sigh of relief last Wednesday when four-year-old Cleo Smith was found alive and well.    Detectives arrive in Carnarvon today to begin the lengthy investigation into exactly what occurred in the 18 days she was missing.

 

We’re joined by Seven’s Ben Downie, who has covered the case since day one; and Dr Celine Van Golde, a psychologist from Sydney University who focuses on the reliability of eyewitness memory in children and adults.

 

How will police proceed with the delicate task of interviewing Cleo Smith, now the investigation moves to the next phase?
