Chloé left the house where she lives with her parents between 5:45 and 6:30 to go jogging in the Dammartin-en-Goële commune in Seine-et-Marne (in the Ile-de-France region around Paris). Her mother called the police when she did not return.

The police have since mobilised 75 gendarmes, a sniffer dog, motocross riders (off-road motorbikes), divers, a mounted police squad and a helicopter to find the young woman.

The local gendarmes have said that it finds her disappearance “worrying” and out of character. It is not thought that she has run away.

Anyone who has seen her or has information is being asked to call 01 64 14 93 90.

Chloé was described as “very calm, very reserved and hardworking in lessons” by the coach at the judo club she attends, Patrick Caron, in an interview with radio station Europe1.

Mr Caron said judo club members are also taking part in the search for Chloé, who works as a carer and is very “taken” by her job.

He said “everyone is worried, everyone is asking themselves lots of questions”. He said friends and family had followed the paths Chloé could have taken while out running in case she had had an accident, such as breaking her leg, that could have stopped her from returning home.

The local mayor, Vincent Clavier, told newspaper Le Parisien that he is coordinating search parties with the gendarmes of wooded areas near to where the young woman went jogging.
