A man has been taken into custody as part of an investigation into the whereabouts of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop, almost three weeks after her “suspicious” disappearance.
Pheobe, 17, was last seen near Bundaberg Airport in southern Queensland about 8.30am on 15 May after booking a trip to Western Australia to see her boyfriend.
CCTV footage indicated she never arrived at the airport terminal, police said.
Police said on Wednesday a man was assisting their investigation.
“A 34-year-old man has been taken into custody and is currently assisting police with enquiries as part of ongoing investigations into the disappearance of Pheobe Bishop,” a statement said.

“No charges have been brought.”

Police said earlier on Wednesday they had scaled back their search for Pheobe after weeks of combing the Gin Gin area where the teenager lived with two others on a property.
Pheobe’s mother, Kylie Johnson, has been pleading for information since her daughter’s disappearance, documenting her family’s heartache on social media.
In her latest post, Johnson wondered if her life would ever be the same again.
“Starting day 20 with you still missing Pheobe,” she posted on Facebook on Wednesday.
“I don’t know if life will ever be the same again? I don’t know if I will ever look at the world the same way that I did before May 15th.

“What I am aware of is that individuals have details about your location, Phee, and it’s crucial to report this to the authorities.”

The search initially focused on Good Night Scrub National Park, an hour’s drive from the airport, with homicide detectives and police divers called in.

Some items believed to be linked to the investigation were seized for forensic examination.
The search also revealed evidence might have been moved from the national park before police arrived.
The search then focused on the Gin Gin area where Pheobe lived with two others at a property.

The property and a grey Hyundai ix35, thought to have been used to take the teen to the airport, were declared crime scenes.

Pheobe’s housemates, James Wood and Tanika Kristan Bromley, have been charged with unrelated weapons offences.
Bromley was granted bail at Bundaberg Magistrates Court to reappear on 23 June while Wood was issued a notice to appear on 13 June.
Police have said the weapons charges were unrelated to Pheobe’s disappearance, and there was no suggestion Bromley or Wood were involved.
Anyone with information, footage or sightings of the grey Hyundai between 15 May and 18 May in the Gin Gin area has been urged to contact police.
Pheobe is about 180cm tall with a pale complexion, long hair that has been dyed red and hazel eyes.
She was last seen carrying luggage, wearing a green tank top and grey sweatpants.
