Cleo Smith abduction accused to remain behind bars after case adjourned - 9News

The man accused of abducting Cleo Smith will remain behind bars over Christmas after his case was adjourned for seven weeks.

Terence Darrell Kelly, 36, was charged with two offences around the alleged abduction, after four-year-old Cleo was found alive and well in a Carnarvon home weeks after she went missing.

The alleged offences include one charge of kidnapping.

Mr Kelly appeared in court today via videolink today.

He sat silently at a table and only nodded when asked to confirm his name.

He was sitting in a white room with a prison guard, dressed in a grey shirt, and appeared to have his long hair tied back.

His lawyer requested the case be adjourned for seven weeks, which is a longer time period that usually granted due to the Christmas and holidays.

The prosecution did not object.

The 36-year-old's next court appearance will be on January 24. No bail application was made.

Mr Kelly was transferred to a maximum-security prison in Perth after a previous court appearance in November.

Cleo disappeared from her family's campsite at Quobba Blowholes in the early hours of October 16.

After weeks of searching, police found her in a locked home in Carnarvon at about 1am on November 3.

The lights were on and she was playing with toys when police arrived.

Asked what her name was, the girl responded: "My name is Cleo".

Mr Kelly was arrested a short distance from the property.
