Overview

  • Seventeen-year-old Pheobe Bishop vanished on May 15 while traveling from Gin Gin to Bundaberg Airport for a flight to Perth that she never boarded.
  • Queensland Police seized a grey Hyundai ix35 and declared the Gin Gin property a crime scene after housemates Tanika Bromley and James Wood reported driving Bishop to the airport.
  • Investigators discovered restricted firearms and ammunition in the vehicle and charged both housemates with unrelated weapons offences, granting them bail under strict reporting conditions.
  • Physical searches of Good Night Scrub National Park have been suspended, with police redirecting efforts to canvass the wider Gin Gin area for fresh leads.
  • Bishop’s mother has launched a community campaign to circulate CCTV images of the Hyundai between May 15 and 19 and urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.
