Pheobe Bishop’s last known whereabouts 

Bishop was last seen by her housemates on Thursday, May 15. They say they dropped her off outside the Bundaberg Regional Airport at 8.30am.

She had a ticket to fly from Bundaberg to Western Australia with a connecting flight via Brisbane.

She was travelling to WA to visit her boyfriend, however, she never entered the terminal or checked in for her flight.

There has been no confirmed sighting of the teenager or her luggage since then.

Police are treating the disappearance as suspicious and the homicide squad is assisting with the investigation. 

Search area gets smaller as item of interest found

Police yesterday narrowed their search area to bushland near Gin Gin.

They claim they have discovered an object of possible interest in the bushland, although it has yet to be verified what the item is or how it is related to Bishop.

Crews are conducting aerial, waterways and land searches of Good Scrub National Park today.

Fire and Rescue teams are preparing to fly a drone over the Good Scrub National Park just outside of Gin Gin, an hour away from where Bishop was last seen.

Disappearance ‘out of character’

In the early stages of the investigation, lead investigators said it was out of character for Bishop.

“It’s out of character for her not to make any contact with anyone,” Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson said.

“Police have reviewed CCTV from the airport, which indicates that she did not enter the terminal.”

Bishop’s mother Kylie Johnson, said earlier this week that the family’s “heartache and pain is raw and real”.

“We as a family are trying to hang onto the light of life that is our Free Spirited Gypsy Soul Phee Phee,” she posted on Facebook.

“Phee we need you home, we need to hear your sassy voice and feel your hugs.”

Bishop’s boyfriend told 9News that he was devastated and couldn’t believe the situation was real.
