Western Australias 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.

Strobel was killed in Australia while on a backpacking trip with her boyfriend Tobias Moran (formerly Tobias Suckfuell).

The 42-year-old returned to Western Australia from where he was extradited.
