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

Re all three of them being in the car, also with the dog IIRC

We know that TB was driving, to me that looks like PB in the rear seat and nobody in the front seat. What if TW sat in the back with PB for some reason? Maybe the dog was in the front passenger side? As I can't see anyone in the front passenger seat.

If TW was in the back seats together with PB perhaps this is how a fatal incident arose following an argument? If he attacked her somehow whilst TB was up front driving then he could have severely injured or killed her by the time TB had time to pull over safely. Maybe it was that time, when TB pulled over, they left the vehicle to discuss what had happened (what he had done, if PB was dead or just injured) and what to do?

JMO MOO

I think something could have happened in that front LH seat. One of the pics of inside the car reveals the bottom LH seat lining removed, and the driver's headrest is also removed; the driver's headrest could have been switched to the left seat to put people off.

This would coincide with many theories on here of affixation from behind. If they did take PB's life around the BMX club, it would have been quick and simple, and no noise made from a struggle due to her airways being blocked. The headrest could have been damaged from all the pressure of someone being choked from behind, and or the investors may have removed it for further testing. Good chance that if you're choked from behind, you would defecate yourself all over the seat during the act or your demise, so hence the seat lining also gets removed.

Tall people don't generally sit in the back seat of cars either because the seat height is too small and there isn't much leg room.

MOO.

All of this, right down to the switching of the head rests, is what I have been thinking too.

Quote snipped by me.

Also I think all three of them were rather tall. PB is described as 180cm tall, about 5'11".

TB was driving this car while reporting for bail:

While wearing thongs:

The VIN JTFDV626000013913 corresponds to a 2003 Toyota Hilux dual cab with a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel (3.0TD) engine, likely the 1KD-FTV, and is a 4x4 model. The height to the top of the roof for a 2003 Toyota Hilux dual cab 3.0TD 4x4 is approximately 181cm.

Standing next to the car she is about the same height as the car:

And standing next to JW (shoes worn unknown), he is even taller than her, note the shoulder heights:

"Pheobe Bishop: ​

More than 50 vehicles join ‘powerful’ convoy ​

in tribute to allegedly murdered Queensland teen.​

The 50 vehicle strong convoy, with cars, motorbikes and 4WDs, some decorated with butterflies and signs calling for 'Justice for Pheobe',
was described as 'emotional and powerful'.

The convoy travelled from Gin Gin into Bundaberg,
crossing the Burnett River and making its way to Bundaberg Regional Airport on Sunday.

Those in attendance wore t-shirts
with brightly coloured butterflies,
'Forever 17' and 'In loving memory of Pheobe'

Her room is of similar appearance .

Hello @Melbournian,
Thank you for the comment, respectfully I disagree - when I look at the video, under the bed, the floor, I don't see any dog-trds contaminating Pheobe's room; how Pheobe managed to stop the trd invasion, when it's spreading thru the house like the BLOB is remarkable; I also note the apparently intact TV (not all of it can be seen); the items on the bed, grouped & gathered - I suggest by Pheobe - the coppers didn't tidy Pheobe's bed or the room.
Pheobe's room (to me) looks much like mine did, when I was a messy- teenager & that of many other teenagers I know or have known.

Cops make bombshell admission about search for Pheobe Bishop this dailymail timeline is actually helpful (i know, i know) and finally explained to me how phoebe knew these people. the woman of the couple used to work with phoebe's mom and they became friends apparently. when kylie kicked phoebe out, this felt like a safe place to go initially... til you take one step inside and see the absolute filth these people were choosing to live in. but she felt she couldn't go to her mom. i feel for her mother, i'm sure regret is overwhelming

The main Q it raised for me is regarding the disability payments (if P was actually entitled to them) who was receiving them? Herself (able to save up for the flights), her mother as main parent or this woman who took her in and potentially killed her? I'm in the UK and AFAIA if a child switches living arrangements to go with their other parent, all entitled to payments are moved to the parent they are living with. If this was the case here, maybe the thought of P leaving the home (and "care") of TB meant the payments to her would cease... Could this be reason enough for this huge argument resulting in TB losing it and throttling her!?

MOO and JMO of course

Agreed it could be a possible motive. It was discussed further back in the thread (or the last I think?).

Why else would JW / TB allegedly murder her?

An argument with a teenager is not enough motive. They were so close to the airport they could have just rushed in and dropped her off at the airport and been done with it.

I think it's possible, and it has been suggested before on here, that she might have said something as they were about to get to the airport. Perhaps something that would result in loss of income for them, or exposure. I am repeating what has already been postulated but I don't see any other feasible motive. The police said they didn't think drugs were involved. What else? Jealousy? Refused advances? This wouldn't crop up right before the airport.

Side note: NDIS is a big money maker. I used to work in Aged Care, for a measly $24 an hour. Then I tried out as a disability support worker (independent). My first client managed her own funding and all I had to do was hang out with her and then sleep overnight in the room next to hers. She never woke me up for anything, I left in the morning while the other carer arrived. I made $600 per night. Is that standard? I don't know. Shortly after I left because of Covid and started a whole different career.

Also a friend of a friend of mine owns a NDIS support service business and she is a multi-millionaire.

Big bucks, lots of rorting.

ALL MOO.

I am leaning towards the male alleged perpetrator losing his cool with PB during the heated argument ("you always do this etc"), striking out and seriously harming her during the assault. The unthinkable was to silence her and stop her reporting his assault at the other end of her trip, or more immediately to airport authorities.

You’re insight is fair enough. I didn’t take into account the police may have turned things upside down. The photos are post two weeks at least after she was reported missing so assuming things would have got worse in there. Although reports of stench and messiness where seen and smelt long before her disappearance. iMO it’s still very unkept , i guess Ive never experienced seeing anyone living like this intentionally and yes I’ve been a teen myself and raised teens. Each to their own.

In a heartbreaking statement
the Bishop family said:

" 'Our family
would like to thank everyone
involved from information reported to searching
and everyone that has sent heartwarming messages.

We just would also like to have time to process and grieve this new information as a family
and ask for privacy at this time'."

Police are still investigating how the teen died."

 

[Observe_dont_Absorb]

I wonder if TB was in receipt of welfare or support payments for looking after PB and in the car on the way to the airport, PB either stuck it to them... well hey you won't be seeing me again, it's been horrible, worst time of my life, etc. Maybe even threatened to make a complaint about conditions.

Or simply they said what day you coming back and she said don't expect me anytime, sorts of scenarios. Something like that could collapse their financial security and enrage them.

JMO MOO
