Australia - Pheobe Bishop, 17, failed to board a flight from Queensland, Bundaberg, 15 May 2025 *Arrests* #4

You're correct. They would have access to the date and location she was (allegedly) murdered and interfered with. This would have been part of the preliminary brief of evidence. It is required to enact a charge. They also would have been provided the details of her last known sighting which was be CCTV but this was in a vehicle as far as I'm aware.
Unless you've seen something different stating she was captured on CCTV carrying her luggage? Please provide that link if so as that change a lot of things.

As far as I'm aware the courier mail stated: court documents alleged that Phoebe was murdered on airport drive. Close to where she was last seen carrying her baggage.

This is just selective wording. A more accurate description would be: court documents allege that Phoebe was murdered on airport drive. This is close to where it she was reportedly seen carrying her baggage.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It can be interpreted both ways and as I say we won’t be any wiser until the court case progresses

 

[Absoluterubbish]

We all assumed the cctv sighting was in a car. This was never confirmed by QPS. The latest media reports suggest otherwise. Again not confirmed by QPS.

What I did find interesting is old mate JW is now cleanly shaved. No bleach blonde hair no beard as per his last court appearance. Tidying himself up to clean up his image. Good luck with that

I initially thought this too but now I don’t agree. The fact that it’s been listed in court documents as her being seen on CCTV on Airport Drive alongside the sentence of her seen walking with her luggage. Multiple news agencies have reported this only in the last couple of days as per court documents.

But as everything we won’t know unless it goes to trial.

It's a play on words by the media.

If there were CCTV of PB walking along Airport Drive, they would have released it weeks ago because it was the last known description of PB. IMO

For e.g., like this below.

Whilst I agree for the most part. I am relatively sure that police knew PB wasn’t a missing person and was deceased from pretty much the outset. Way different to the Tayla Spies case

A heavily filtered photo as her missing person photo which looks absolutely nothing like her in real life gave off that vibe early

No one would have seen PB on the street based on that missing person photo

 

[BreakingNews]

A lot of the homicides in the US come from personal conflict, but they also have the problem of easy access to guns.


"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The first systematic, in-depth look at murder and suicide in the United States shows that personal conflicts are the major factor in such deaths, as opposed to random violence or other crime.
Guns are the most commonly used weapons in both murders and suicides, according to the analysis of data from 2007 released on Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."

"The pattern that stands out the most is we see a lot of intimate partner violence, mental health problems and substance abuse," said the CDC's Debra Karch, who led the study.
While police and politicians may stress crime-fighting to try to lower murder rates, the study suggests that equipping people to better handle conflict may be more effective.

Personal conflicts biggest cause of murders in U.S.

I agree. Anger Management needs to be taught in schools. We can't expect parents to teach it when they have never learnt to deal with it themselves.

I totally agree with you. No CCTV has captured PB walking with her luggage. Police say 3 in vehicle. I assume from all of this that the police believe PB was murdered in the car. My theory is TB driving, PB is passenger seat and JW in the back seat. MOO

Paywalled article. Paraphrasing:

On Sunday morning, a poignant procession of over 50 cars, 4WDs, and motorbikes traveled from Gin Gin to Bundaberg to honor 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop. The convoy began at 11am from the Gin Gin Motel, near Pheobe’s last known residence, and ended at Airport Drive in Bundaberg, her last believed location alive. The event was a moving display of community solidarity.

Participants wore vibrant colors or butterfly-themed clothing, a symbol tied to Pheobe. 4WDs were adorned with butterfly wings, and motorbikes joined the vivid tribute. Photos from the starting point showed a vibrant array of vehicles and supporters, many displaying ‘Forever 17’ stickers created by organizers in Pheobe’s memory.

Pheobe Bishop, 17, was last seen on May 15, 2025, near Bundaberg Airport, where she was due to fly to Western Australia to visit her boyfriend. Although reportedly dropped off at the airport and seen with luggage, she never boarded the flight. Living in Gin Gin with housemates James Wood and Tanika Bromley, who were later charged with her murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse, Pheobe was allegedly killed soon after being seen near the airport. Her body is believed to have been moved multiple times before remains, thought to be hers, were found on June 6 in Good Night Scrub National Park.

I only remember from the links I sent earlier
that there was CCTV of Pheobe in Airport Drive
but...
the reports were not exactly specific.

I thought then
she was recorded in the car.
There was even a photo of this vehicle published in MSM
and some posters claimed they could see the girl in it.

As for me,
I couldn't see anything
Only darkish & greyish blurred image.

Maybe I need glasses???

Now I remember!!

The info of Pheobe walking with luggage and the clothes she was wearing
was on original Police poster of Missing Person.

"She was last seen
carrying .....
and wearing ....."

There are 2 versions of Police posters:

Foul smelling home where Pheobe Bishop was living a police focus

Police have made shock discoveries at a Queensland property, believed to be one of the last places 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop was seen.

Noting features of the terrain from Google earth and the video supplied of the local area I believe the location they stopped to get out of the car to "give PB some time" will be here. IMOO MOO

There is a shoulder on Airport Dr, however its not really wide enough to pull a vehicle over in, more of a bike lane. Next to the left hand side of the road there seems to be a dirt path.

Thanks for all your mapping / intel. .. I have no idea how to produce that stuff! .. so I’m most appr of the images/ insight you provide.

I wonder do you think ‘the charged’ were brazen enough to pull over & leave the vehicle while the allededly deceased PB was inside ?

I’m thinking May Be - police said 3 people were in the vehicle, but 3 people didn’t exit - perhaps this was their reference point . ….. I’m leaning toward the suggestion by (sorry - was it Sceptical Scotty? - please identify ) that PB met her demise in the car on the way to the airport.
Perhaps it happened in a fit of rage ( I know many suspect TB, but I go toward JW ) perhaps they then pulled over to take a walk / a break / a breather - and to formulate their plan.

Irrespective, a young girl has become a victim, life has become so cheap - and our governing bodies need to say ‘enough is enough’ and to take steps to turn the tide.

IMO.

It's only speculation, but it does look like someone is in the back seat.

Are they crying and have a tissue up to their nose, or is that something in their mouth?

It looks like QPS blurred out the left-hand side to me.

It seems to me
the person sitting in the back seat has long hair and head is bowed.

Or ...
is my imagination running wild...AGAIN??

This "tissue" you mentioned
seems to me reflection of light from the window.

Don’t assume…

Having a disability does not always mean that someone needs a carer. many with disabilities live independently and many do not need or qualify for NDIS.

Disabilities don’t mean unable to manage their own lives, it may mean more medical appointments, treatment, medication, psychiatrist, psychologist

there are many people who live in filthy homes, but they may keep yards clean and present themselves professionally.


We know Pheobe worked as a cleaner for NDIS, we do not know if she was an NDIS client or if she received Centrelink payments
