Long blonde hair
Detectives also searched a home in Gibbon Road, Newhaven, as appeals were made for anyone who spotted the missing girl to contact the force urgently.
Several people have told officers they think they may have seen her since 7 January, but none of the sightings have been confirmed.
Det Insp Gavin Patch, of Sussex Police, said officers were becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.
He said: "We are now treating her as a high-risk missing person because of her age, the length of time she has been missing and the fact that she has been associating with older people."
When she went missing, Chloe was wearing a pink hooded jacket with a black sleeveless jacket, black trousers, blue Vans trainers and large earrings.
She is slim and had her long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail.
