I wonder if Chloe knew either of these two men.

Im thinking she knew at least the 26 year old (who we now know has a history of sexual assault on children), as I understand it she was walking in the direction of his flat? But I could be wrong and misunderstood, I’ll go back through articles. <modsnip - no link>

If I could take a stab at the arrests, I’d suggest the 26 year old called the 30 year old for help with some sort of cleanup or disposal. Hence the burning of items and freshly washed sneakers mentioned in the article above.

Without being super familiar with law outside of the US, how difficult is it to get an extension on these holds of the arrested?

The police in the UK can hold a person for 24 hours at first, if for a serious crime and for gathering more evidence to charge they can hold a person for upto 96 hours I believe, they have to apply to a higher power for this extension. They then have to charge or release at the end of this period.
 
Community prayers to be said for Chloe

There will be a time of community prayer for Chloe and the Mitchell family tonight (Sunday 11th) at 8:30pm in Harryville Presbyterian Church Hall on Casement Street. Everyone welcome.

Apologies, I didn’t have the link earlier. Here you can read about Chloe’s possible connection to a well-known 60 year old cocaine dealer. The fact that she had connections of this sort make me so very concerned for her well-being. He was in custody when she disappeared (for assault), so not related to her disappearance. Just more to add to the picture.
