Chloe abductor knew family: dad

Queensland police have launched an urgent appeal after the possible abduction of a three year old girl.

THE father of missing three-year-old Chloe Campbell believes someone who knows the family took her.

Garth Campbell says there is no way his youngest daughter could have left their family home alone.

When he awoke on Thursday morning, Chloe, who usually sleeps in the lounge, was missing.

A window was open and when he looked out, an adult-sized footprint was on the car.

Chloe's sleeping bag - patterned with wizards and dragons - was gone as well as her trusty companion, a stuffed toy dog named Gnarly.

``I don't think there's any possible way she's wandered off,'' Mr Campbell told AAP.

``She wouldn't leave the yard by herself.''

The family usually shuts the windows of their Childers' home at dusk each night to keep out mosquitoes, but on Wednesday Mr Campbell believes one of the latches must not have caught.

``That's why we are blaming ourselves,'' he said.

Chloe's two older sisters Janae, eight, and Britney, five, have their own room in the two-bedroom Childers house.

But on Wednesday all three girls slept in the lounge.

When Janae awoke to go to the toilet in the morning, Chloe wasn't in the lounge room, Mr Campbell said.

Janae had thought Chloe had sneaked into her parent's room as she had been sick lately.

A distraught Mr Campbell believes that someone who knew where Chloe slept took her.

``I think it's got to be someone who knows me, in how they got in, where she sleeps,'' Mr Campbell said.

``They knew she was sleeping in front of the TV.''

Mr Campbell is asking for prayers and is clinging to hope that if Chloe's been abducted, she is being cared for.

``I hope someone that's taken her is looking after her,'' he said.

``Giving her brekky, lunch, I don't know, I don't know what to think.

``Maybe someone took her who can't have kids or something like that.''

A major land and aerial search is under way for Chloe as police express serious concerns for her safety.

Inspector Kev Guteridge said the search would continue into tonight.

"Shortly after 7am Bundaberg Police were contacted by a distraught mother of a three-year-old girl to advise that her daughter was missing," he said.

"We do hold very serious concerns for the safety of the girl as we do with every missing person reported."

More than 40 SES personnel, the RACQ Careflight helicopter and community volunteers are helping police in the search.

Earlier, A THREE-year-old girl has been abducted from a home at Childers, 50km south of Bundaberg.

Police have been searching near the Childers Showgrounds after Chloe Campbell went missing from the house on Ridgway St about 7am Thursday.

Crime scene tape has been place around a home and police say they fear the little girl may be at risk. An abduction alert has been issued.

It is understood Chloe's parents put her to bed last night before going to sleep about 1am.

When they woke in the morning, she was gone.

"The parents put the kids to bed last night. They went to sleep about one o'clock in the morning after watching TV. They have woken up at seven o'clock and (Chloe) was not in her bed," close family friend Melissa Small said.

Ms Small said the window of the bedroom had been left open.

"There's a footprint on the roof of the car to get through to the window.

"The window was open and her blanket and teddy bear, a grey blanket and a blue teddy bear, has been taken with her."

Ms Small said she did not know who may have taken Chloe and that the girl's mother Tammy was distraught at her disappearance.

"She's an absolutely a mess. We're just keeping support around her at this time while we're trying to go out and look for (Chloe)."

SES volunteers from Childers and Bundaberg have been put on standby to join in the search.

Deputy Local Controller of the Childers SES Aaron Frazer said while the girl's family generally kept to themselves, they were well known in town.

Police have clarified earlier releases describing Chloe's clothes.

She was last seen wearing yellow pants with love hearts on them and a white-coloured shirt with butterflies and bees pictured on the front.
