Chloe suffered from depression and previous suicide attempts and was taking sertraline and abusing alcohol to cope with her depression.
She was last seen by her sister on the evening of May 2 and then on the afternoon of May 3 the deceased facetimed to say goodbye so she was reported missing from home.
