Cleo Smith disappeared from her family's tent in remote Western Australia last month, before police discovered her alone in a Wednesday night raid.
The man suspected of abducting a four-year-old Australian girl from a campsite 19 days ago is believed to have "acted alone", police said, and will likely be charged later Thursday.
Cleo Smith disappeared from her family's tent in remote Western Australia last month, before police discovered her alone in a Wednesday night raid on a home in the coastal town of Carnarvon -- just a short drive from where she went missing.
A 36-year-old man was arrested Wednesday, just a day after he became a police suspect in the case that has gripped Australia.
Lead investigator, detective superintendent Rod Wilde, said the man was expected to be charged later Thursday, with police set to allege he "acted solely alone" in abducting the little girl.
