Australia Australia - Pheobe Bishop, 17, failed to board a flight from Queensland, Bundaberg, 15 May 2025 *Arrests* #3

[StillDiggin]

A very concerning disappearance.
The desperate search for a teenage girl has entered its sixth day after she failed to board a scheduled flight from regional Queensland and vanished without a trace.
Phoebe Bishop, 17, was last seen at Airport Drive, Bundaberg about 8.30am on Thursday, May 15.

Police said the teen has not been heard from since she failed to check in for her booked flight.

She was last seen carrying luggage and wearing a green tank top and grey sweatpants.

Police conducted a land search of Airport Drive and the surrounding areas on Monday, but were unsuccessful in finding the girl or any of her.

MOD NOTE:

Effective with the arrest in this case, sub judice is in effect and will be until a trial has concluded. For anyone not familiar with the judicial principle of sub judice, please review the following.

WS is based in the USA but we do try to manage the various discussions to comply with laws of other countries.

As this trial is in Australia, the case is under sub judice so please avoid anything that violates the following principles:

Basically anything that may prejudice the accused’s right to a fair trial
Any suggestion, opinion, or direct accusation that the accused is either guilty OR innocent
(i.e. the accused cannot be called "the killer"; use "the accused", "the alleged killer", or "the defendant")
A defendant’s previous history of any offences is off limits
Scandalizing the court (disparaging judges, lawyers, any officer of the Court) is off limits
Broadcasting anything about proceedings which happen in the jury's absence is off limits
Any non compliance with an Order of the court is off limits

Note in the event of an Appeal subsequent to verdict:
Appeals are usually heard by senior judges who are not likely to be influenced by the media, therefore responsible comment is usually considered acceptable once a trial has concluded, regardless of if there is going to be an appeal.

Posts that are determined to constitute a violation of sub judice will be removed. To avoid this, please review the following from the Victoria Law Reform Commission and post accordingly:
10. Sub judice contempt: restricting the publication of prejudicial information

I'm truly devastated. I had been holding out for a miracle. Rest in Peace beautiful Pheobe Bishop. I hope the police can locate her soon so she can be given a proper place of rest, and that justice is served for this horrible crime.

I bet JW will be TALKING a lot today and tomorrow. I know TB has children but I have a hunch she might deny, go quiet, lawyer up whereas I could see JW creating a new narrative deflecting onto TB

I think he's got a big ego and thinks he can outwit LE. TB appears to be simpler and might try to enter a plea deal.

Sweet Phoebe, you were on the brink of a new beginning — a better life within reach, only to have it cruelly taken from you. May you now rest in peace, and may justice be done in your name.

Pheobe Bishop: Detectives charge James Wood and Tamika Bromely with murder of missing Queensland teenager​

 

[Snoop Sister]

Has she been found deceased?

No but LE obviously has evidence of her demise in order to charge the two with murder.

 

[Aussieboy]

The mum's speech was very telling of the outcome, and the forensic experts would have picked up on the unalivement straight away with all their tests and the cadaver dogs.

I take it that they're both in custody now?

Bizarre mystery that unfolded just before Pheobe Bishop's housemates were charged with murder - as it's revealed accused killer changed her appearance before her arrest​

“Friends of missing teen Pheobe Bishop reported mysterious occurrences on her Facebook account hours before her housemates were charged with murder.

Police arrested James Wood, 34, and his partner Tanika Bromley, 33, in Bundaberg in central Queensland on Thursday night.

The pair were charged with one count each of murder and two counts each of interfering with a corpse on Thursday night.

They will remain in custody and are due to appear in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday.

The charges were laid hours after Pheobe's friends reported odd occurrences on her Facebook account on Thursday.

The teen's Facebook Messenger account appeared to be online at various times over a 14 hour period between midnight and 2pm.

Both friends said they had reported the strange occurrences, with one even posting it to the social media of Pheobe's mum Kylie Johnson.

Daily Mail Australia contacted Queensland Police at 3pm Thursday to comment on the situation.

'For investigative reasons, we cannot provide that level of detail,' a spokesperson said.

Police announced the charges against Wood and Bromley five-and-a-half hours later.

Just hours before she was arrested, Bromley arrived to report for bail at Gin Gin police station about 9.15am on Thursday on unrelated weapons charges.”

Yes, they are both in custody now, and due to face Bundaberg court today, Friday 6th May. I imagine the courthouse will be pretty full of locals wanting to set eyes on the alleged murderers. I suppose they will not appear in person due to safety concerns? Will be interesting to see what happens.

Could it have been law enforcement accessing PBs social media and showing as online or would they be able to do it more discreetly?
Otherwise assuming it was the two in custody IMO

 

[Bigditch]

Did the alleged criminals tap into Pheobe's social media account in order to access funds somehow?
What were they doing?
Anyone know?

Was either tweedle Dee and tweedle Dum, police, private investigators or family.

I know at one point when the private investigators for Theo Hayez logged into his socials the police called them immediately as they were notified of the log in and device information.

Agree. She will be wanting a shorter sentence so will plead guilty, her conscience will get the better of her and squeal like a pig.
