24th January, 2022:

Guilty. 

Those were the only words uttered by 36-year-old Terence Darrell Kelly when a charge of child stealing was put to him as he appeared by video link from prison to the Carnarvon courthouse.

It was a stunning admission that not many were prepared for - especially so early in the court process.

But for many in the Carnarvon community, it was a welcome one.

Not only does it mean police found the right man, it also means Cleo and her family won’t have to be dragged through a long and traumatic court process - in which they would have most likely had to relive those 18 days over again.

We now know who took Cleo. But there are still other questions left unanswered- some which may be answered in court, others which might be left a mystery.

So who is Terence Kelly? Join Host Natalie Bonjolo alongside investigative journalist Kristin Shorten and The West Australian’s Legal Affairs Editor Tim Clarke as they take you through the life of Terence Kelly, and what happens now in the court case.

My Name is Cleo will be back with court updates. In the meantime, for more on Cleo Smith head to thewest.com.au/cleo and perthnow.com.au
