Western Australia Police Detective Senior Sergeant Cameron Blaine said Cleo was found in physically good health in a bedroom inside Kelly’s house. “The lights were on and she was playing with toys, I think that’s about all I want to say. “This is still a matter that needs to go before the courts. There’s certain aspects about what we saw that is going to be evidence.” Kelly has now appeared a Carnarvon Magistrate’s Court in Western Australia, where he was charged with count of forcibly taking a child under 16, commonly referred to as child stealing.  The suspect nodded that he acknowledged the charges and didn’t apply for bail. He was remanded in custody until December 6.
