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

[MathildaM]

@scepticalscotty Thank you, that helps paint a picture. A busy area with the airport, businesses etc... but essentially a very sheltered, private area of ridgeline bush on both sides of the creek.

Would they have gone down Samuel's Road to get there from Gin Gin? Maybe she was murdered in the car on Samue'ls Road (hence the focus) and they have then driven to the airport. They have used the gravel road from the BMS track to run parallel to Airport Drive. Police said her body was moved, maybe the first place they left the body was on that gravel road near Saltwater Creek. Then they returned to move her to Good Night Scrub at some point.

Samuel's Road looks like a much larger road, hence why they needed somewhere more hidden as I don't think they could have driven around during daylight with her in the car.

There also appears to be a small stream running off Samuels Rd up to near the dams

It's a shallow creek, water is shallow enough to drive through. It's surrounded by a 5-10m Ridgeline of bush on both sides in some areas along it. It's fairly hidden from anybody travelling either commercial street or airport Dr and unless you were driving the track you wouldn't see a vehicle in there. I drove the track on Sunday and noticed a few sets of tyre tracks across this creek leading into the scrub. There was no police tape which makes sense if the crime occured in the vehicle and no person exited said vehicle.

Can you confirm whether Samuels Road is still completely lined with scrub/bush along one side?

I suppose if she was killed inside the vehicle, something I find really hard to believe, it was rapid and fast. May have even been an accident for example the intention may not have been to kill.
I still feel she was killed or badly harmed in the house they had no intention of letting her go free at the airport so they were taking her to her death.

I’ve circled the property where Pheobe lived, and the map shows the hardware store and the IGA store.

It has been confirmed by police that she was seen alive on CCTV footage near the airport

I'd be interested to know if there where reports in the media of this recorded incident.

The only other one I can think of is the mother that had the religious psychosis and murdered the little girl.

Not many homicides occur per year in Bundaberg.

There is a dot on the map for the little girl you mentioned, in Moore Park Beach, directly on the house that it happened at on 26 May.

In fact those two dots are the only two "Homicide (Murder)" crimes on that map for Bundaberg in the last 12 months.

Here is where that creek intersects with Samuels Road

Wow that could be on the money. Isolated Rd, off into the scrub near a little creek

Yes spot on. I also found these images just before

I don't think they did the first body disposal along Samuel's Road, if they did that then the police would not have mentioned the BMX track and the homicide pin would be near Samuel's Road.

CCTV at the beginning of Airport Drive would show only two people. The police know they turned onto Airport Drive - '3 people near the airport'.

After turning onto Airport Drive, I think they went to the BMX track. Possibly Tanika knew of the BMX track as she has young sons.

They have followed the gravel track parallel to Airport Drive. First disposal of the body in Saltwater Creek.

Then onto the airport where they were picked up again by CCTV - two people in the car, three never seen leaving the car.

I think the question is what is the importance of Samuel's Road? The police requested dashcam footage of anyone travelling on that Road at that time.

If CCTV picked them up near the airport with 3 people in the car, what are they looking for on dashcam from Samuel's Road?

I think she was murdered whilst in the front passenger seat on Samuel's Road, hence the request for dashcam footage, not to confirm if she was in the car, but hoping to catch a glimpse of what was happening in the car.

Makes sense but then wouldn't the pin be on Samuels Rd?

Exactly. And had the body been disposed in Saltwater Creek - wouldn't that area have been declared a crime scene at some stage?

 

[MathildaM]

I think Saltwater Creek is a more definite location forensically, hence the pin but good question.

I keep going back to what did they want to see on Dashcam from Samuel's Road if they had CCTV near the airport showing 3 people in the car. The police were looking really hard on that road BUT then BMX track, two specific locations, two separate events, murder and disposal #1.

I also feel people would notice a car stopped on the side of Samuel's Road at that time in the day - police didn't ask 'did you see a stopped car' rather, what did your dashcam see.

 

[Cottage3]

There is a gravel road that starts at the BMX club and runs almost parallel to airport drive. This exits onto commercial st a block from the day hospital.

Didn't the police also state that 3 arrived, 3 didn't leave? Could PB have been left deceased in the vehicle? Maybe her housemates left the vehicle and came back and moved the vehicle with her in it later. Something has definitely happened to her in the vehicle.

 

[MathildaM]

We are also not accounting for CCTV / dash cam time points, which will help inform if it was physically possible to have stopped along the route.

These will also define the time gaps that are longer than driving from one point to another, or being seen on CCTV (I think the two did go to the terminal but not inside to be 'seen' at the airport)

I like it


Three people seen on CCTV , Pheobe alive, possibly because she was in the front seat, not back seat as alleged by JW

""We will allege that three people arrived near to the airport, and that three people never left that vehicle," Detective Inspector Mansfield said."

Pheobe wasn't dropped off as alleged by JW and TB, along airport drive.

Pheobe is killed in the car, the car is then driven down to Samuel rd * looking for any Dashcam footage * of that vehicle which may show Phoebe deceased in the front seat.

Body hidden near where @essareem has shown in her mapping. #1st location

 

[HinterlandObserver]

Ill bet its this CCTV camera view.

Bundaberg Private Day Hospital operating soon

The new Bundaberg Private Day Hospital will begin operating next week. Meet Dr Jai Panchapakesan and take a first look inside.

The photo of the Hyundai Ix35 was not taken along Samuels Road. Samuels Road doesn’t have white lines along the edge of the road.
