PERTH: A four-year-old Australian girl abducted from a campsite 18 days ago was found 'alive and well' in a locked house Wednesday, telling elated police officers: 'My name is Cleo.'

Cleo Smith disappeared from her family's tent in Western Australia last month, sparking a frantic air, sea and ground search involving 100 officers, one that most feared would end in tragedy.
