Coastguard joins search for missing girl Chloe, 15

A distraught mother yesterday issued an emotional appeal for her missing teenage daughter to contact home.

As concern for Chloe Kinsella grew, gardaí called in the Shannon-based coastguard helicopter to assist in the search for the 15-year-old, missing since Saturday.

Chloe left the family home at Kenyon Avenue, Kileely, at about 8.30pm by going out a rear bedroom window, and may have been wearing pyjama bottoms and a black top.
