Western Australia s highest ranking cop has shed some light on the bombshell investigation into the respected homicide detective who led the search for Cleo Smith last year.
Detective Senior Sergeant Cameron Blaine has been involved in some of the biggest Australian cases of recent times and was one of four officers on the scene when four-year-old Cleo Smith was rescued.
Michael Carr-Gregg warned Cleo needed to be left alone so she could start to recover following her rescue from a housing commission property in Carnarvon at 1am on Wednesday.
Detective Sergeant Cameron Blaine, one of the police officer s who found Cleo Smith, has been spotted checking in on the four-year-old at their home in Carnarvon on Friday.
As the rest of the world kept an eye out and their ear to the ground for any sign of Cleo, police allege the 36-year-old hid her in his rundown home in Brockman in Western Australia.
