Two US Soldiers Held Over Missing Colleague
Two US soldiers are being held as "persons of interest" following the disappearance of another almost two months ago.
The soldiers, from Fort Campbell - which straddles the Kentucky and Tennessee border - have not been named and are being held as police and the US Army investigate the disappearance of Private First Class Shadow McClaine.
PFC McClaine failed to report back for duty as an air traffic control tower operator at the base, following celebrations of the country’s Labour Day weekend in September.

She was last heard from on September 2. Her car was found around 70 miles away from the base in downtown Nashville.
McClain’s father, Jesse Willis, told US media:
"This is hard. Somebody knows something, and I wish they could come forward and tell us."
Her mother, London Wegrzyn, said she’d last heard from the 25-year-old in an exchange of texts on September 2. She said her daughter had given no indication anything was wrong.
McClaine's ex-husband, Jamal McCray was also arrested and booked into the Montgomery County jail.
He was charged with out of county warrants. It is unclear if he is being investigated in connection with her disappearance.
