A 31-year-old woman and a 33-year-old man were bailed on Tuesday night to allow for further enquiries.
Police have issued CCTV images of Mr Johnston at a supermarket in Cookstown, County Tyrone.
They show Mr Johnston, who is from Coleraine, at a store on the Orritor Road between 16:52 and 16:59 BST on 7 October.
Police said they were issuing the "photographs of this last sighting in an effort to jog people's memories" and that they were "increasingly concerned" for Mr Johnston's safety.
They have "launched a criminal investigation into his disappearance".
He was first reported missing on the evening of Friday 13 October.

Mr Johnston was also believed to have been in the Mullagh Park area of Maghera earlier on 7 October, at about 16:00 BST, police said.
Supt Michael O'Loan appealed directly to Mr Johnston "to make contact with the police, family or friends so that we know you are safe and well".

The PSNI said it is out of character for Mr Johnston not to have been in contact with his family since he was last seen.
He has short brown hair, blue eyes and is about 5ft 9ins in height, and was last seen wearing a blue hooded-top and tracksuit bottoms.
Officers have said they are keen to receive any information or footage that could assist in finding Mr Johnston.

The house is in a small residential development on the outskirts of Maghera village.
Neighbours tell me it is the upstairs flat that the police operation is focusing on.
Officers appealed to anyone travelling through Mullagh Park between 15:00 and 16:00 BST on 7 October to contact them if they have any information.
