So Chloe was last seen walking towards James Street, and they are searching the arrested man’s flat in James Street.

I wonder if she was going to his place, or whether something opportunist happened.

Regional Commander Sean McCarry spoke to BBC Good Morning Ulster on Friday.

"Our teams were using special equipment to assist with the search," he said.

"We started yesterday morning in the early hours and went right through into this morning.

"The search is quite wide-ranging. The focus, of course, is in the last place where Chloe was seen.

"Our teams are working along the Braid River. Because it has been so dry through the past few weeks there isn't a big flow in the river.
"We are not searching on the basis that we think Chloe might have got into difficulties in the river, we are searching on the basis of it is within the vicinity of the search area.

"We concentrate on all waterways and all areas as we carry out the search."

Mr McCarry said they have a large number of people were involved.
"We have about 35 people on the job this morning. We expect that to increase throughout the day."

Wow that greenery is something else. I’m glad they have dogs participating - although sounds like they maybe are not cadaver dogs - because it would be so easy to miss someone in that dense shrubbery.

While the arrested man is “helping with their enquiries”, I find it quite a bad sign that a full forensic team appeared to be working on his flat yesterday.
