A murder investigation has been launched following the discovery of suspected human remains in Ballymena, County Antrim.
Chloe Mitchell was last seen in the town between the night of 2 June and the early hours of 3 June.
A huge search operation has been taking place in an attempt to find the 21-year-old woman.
On Sunday night, Det Ch Insp Richard Millar said police now had reason to believe she had been murdered.
“Our thoughts this evening are very much with Chloe’s family and we have specialist officers providing them with support at this heart-breaking time,” he said.
He added that the remains had not yet been formally identified.
Two men, aged 26 and 34, who were earlier arrested over her disappearance remain in police custody.
