Australia Australia - Pheobe Bishop, 17, failed to board a scheduled flight from a Queensland Airport. Last seen Airport Drive, Bundaberg, 15 May 2025 #2

[HoneyBunOne]

I don't think anyone is suggesting the mother is a person of interest. There seems to be differing opinions on how she should/would/could act in front of the camera whilst talking about her missing child. It's all pointless though, the fact is that she is fronting the cameras, talking about Pheobe, bringing attention to the case, and probably doing so on police advise. We can all say how we would act, but until you're in those shoes, you don't know, and everyone is unique with unique family dynamics.

The important part is keeping Pheobe top of mind for locals, those passing through the areas mentioned, the whole of Australia and even the world at large.

Everything we know about the Pheobe Bishop missing teen mystery

Her disappearance has rocked the tiny community of Gin Gin, near Bundaberg, central Queensland , with dark secrets revealed, family rifts aired in public and bizarre twists and turns.

I thought I would list a couple of other things just before she went missing:

"A friend who wished to remain anonymous has shared the last messages they received from Pheobe, sent on Monday, May 12 before she went missing."

The link in your link takes you to the Courier Mail article from today.

Pheobe's mum has received criticism about her media appearance (note: it does say the media appearance was partnered with the Qld police).

She has some words to say, including her (rhetorical) question of how do people think she should act.
She says show me how to navigate this. Show me how to deal with the unknown and the uncertainty. Show me how to use perfect language and emotion for a situation that no parent ever wants to be in.

Pheobe’s mother did an amazing job holding it together while making that appeal to the public. She handled it well, considering the circumstances. I don’t see her “calm” demeanor as odd. Unfortunately all of my emotions are concealed during traumatic situations and I have no clue why. I could be reading her wrong but she seems to have firmness to her that appears very maternal. I viewed that as very “mama bear.” Her baby was taken, she is doing her best, now is not the time to break down. Now is the time to record this statement that will hopefully lead to her baby coming home, to be put to rest. While I wouldn’t wish any parent experience this, I do hope that those who do are able to find strength within themselves to push forward in the midst of tragedy. I would bet my 401k that she has cried herself to sleep every night since her daughter went missing.

My opinion only, of course.

Both of these statements cannot be correct …..

From your article:

A nearby resident supplied CCTV footage of the Hyundai allegedly on Samuels Rd, just west of the airport, around 10.30am, two hours after Pheobe was due at the airport at 8.30am.

And the previous report of the car in Gin Gin at 10:30am ……


CCTV footage posted online on Sunday showed a grey Hyundai ix35 – the same car model police allege Ms Bishop travelled in on the day of her disappearance – driving along a back street of Gin Gin.

The CCTV footage was timestamped 10.30am on May 15 – two hours after Pheobe was alleged to have been dropped to Bundaberg Airport to fly to Brisbane.

The video has since been deleted by the original poster.

Sorry about that. I tried to delete my post but not sure how to do it.
I thought the article may have been helpful.

 

[Maryjaneparker]

I am neurodivergent myself.
So are my children
I am strange.
It was an observation. Not a judgement .
I know alot about trauma , and responses to it , far more than I wish I did .
Everyone jumping on me for my opinion , but it doesn't change the vibe I felt from her press conference.
Maybe she was masking far to well .
At the end of the day .
Noone in here knows that she hadn't spoken to PB recently.
The media isn't always the truth , everything is speculation until there is evidence.
Im not victim blaming at all.
I really want to find phoebe , Its all I've been thinking about .

I dunno . Maybe I found it strange , because I'm strange.
Didn't expect to get so much attention from a small opinion.
Im here for Phoebe, I feel for her mother and family .
Like I said . Even I cant speculate . We just dont know anything really , except for what the media is putting out there , and IMO the media is not reliable

Oh, it is very helpful … Thankyou …. so please don’t worry ….

It is the first time an actual time has been published for the Samuels Road CCTV capture …..

Just not sure if the paper has published the correct time??? Or if the previous report of the car in Gin Gin was published incorrectly???

The car couldn’t be in two places at once …

And it could make quite a significant difference into where PB may be … with time and distance. IMO

 

[Vortexaire]

Yes .
I was not suggesting she was guilty .
I was saying it's odd to have little emotion .
I dont think she has anything to do with it.

I do not think that is strange at all, in my AP Psychology class we are taught that everyone reacts to grief differently. One way to response to death is not feeling any emotion at all and those types are the ones you should worry about more arguably as it means they have been mentally traumatized so much to the point they lose the ability to feel.

I wonder if the article is mistakenly referring to the since deleted image of the grey car - which is not a Hyundai - which was seen in the back streets of Gin Gin, and not on Samuels Road? I don’t believe there is an image available of the Hyundai in Samuels Road. IMO.

My thoughts too.

 

[findmollie]

This hasn't been raised as far as I can tell, but what are the chances that TB drove PB to the airport, but as rumoured, they had an argument on the way. Samuels Road would be a long road to travel on foot and its next to the highway. It's close enough to the airport that it is a short drive (4-5 minutes), but would be too long for PB to walk to catch her flight on time (40-50 minutes). What if TB argued with PB and kicked her out of the car, and then PB flagged a lift with someone on Samuel's Road or Childers Road (the highway) who said they'd drop her at the airport, but then didn't.

TB could have lied to police initially and said she dropped PB somewhere along Airport Drive and then eventually came clean after police investigated. In the meantime, she's increased the suspicion on herself and JW. You can be a dodgy person without harming someone. You can be charged with other crimes without harming someone.

What if JW and TB are red herrings? What if someone else is involved?

I think there is CCTV footage on Samuels Road, but we have not seen the image as police have not released it ….
I think it’s just the time that has been reported incorrectly by the Daily Mail…

Police are calling for dashcam footage from the Airport Dr and Samuels Rd area between 8.30am and 9.30am on May 15.

I’ve had this thought myself.

Wrong place, wrong time . It could even be someone familiar to her picked her ip
?

I feel this week we may hear a few more details . They obviously know a lot more than we are telling us.

True Slouth, sorry I meant to say that… Police have stated they have seen CCTV footage of the car with Pheobe in Samuel’s Road, but this footage hasn’t been released to the public. Sorry, I didn’t make myself clear.

Also... was she proven to be alive in that footage? Or simply 'in' the car

 

[Cleety_]

If you look at this case compared to Taylah spies, cctv has not been released with this case but with Taylahs there was multiple cctv footage put out to media. In my opinion that is very telling that the police know a lot more with this case they are just trying to find solid evidence to charge people

 

[Melbournian]

Do JW and TB have jobs? If so did they go to their jobs as usual on 15 May. If they were scheduled to work , and didn’t, what was their reason for not showing up to work?

 

[ThisOne01]

The Samuels Road thing confuses me, because it looks to be a side road and not a main route to anywhere. Unless it was a route taken to try to dodge some known CCTV. Or there was some other specific reason to be on Samuels Road.

It is very hard looking for CCTV because all of the streetview images are from 2015. I am sure things have changed in the last 10 years.

imo

There is a quarry and the local dump on Samuel’s Rd
