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

[Firstsnow4]

Did something (the alleged argument in the car or something else) happen before the Samuels road detour (red line) which caused them to turn off there. If an argument ensued perhaps they needed to pull over. Then the suspect snapped, accidentally killed PB in a fit of rage, so they had to quickly turn back towards GNS. All MOO. That would explain the Samuels road CCTV request. I wonder if they found any evidence in the car? JMO.

Does traffic build up at that time of day on the main roads around the airport?

Also, there was a news reel from 7 wide bay news that said Avoco and Branyan were of interest. I can't find it off hand.

The Courier Mail said (on 30th May) that the police were now focusing on the Avoca and Branyan areas, relating to the movements of the vehicle.

Pheobe Bishop: What have police said?

Samuels Road is in Branyan.

Samuels Road leads on to Childers Road if you were heading towards the airport. This road, particularly at 8:30 in the morning can get quite busy as it is one of the main roads heading into town for those travelling off the Bruce Highway.

Just a thought , knowing TB is family friends with PB family , I wonder if she has reached out to her KJ? If she is innocent and just dropped her off , she’d be calling her friend checking in on her and offering help etc . No call/message or check-in with KJ is a red flag . Even if they weren’t speaking after being fired , something life changing as this , knowing you have told the public you saw her last , you would put everything aside to help find Pheobe.

“We are asking for information on Samuels Rd, and all that information that the public is providing will assist us with our inquiries.

Asked whether Pheobe had been met with foul play, Inspector Thompson said police weren’t ruling out any scenario.

Police were now focusing on the Avoca and Branyan areas, relating to the movements of the vehicle.”

IDK. That is why I have been streetwalking the area, looking for CCTV. To see if there could have been a CCTV sighting.

But it is futile because the google streetview images are so old. The google vehicle didn't even go all the way down Samuels Road in 2015, just partway.

There is some kind of business at the corner of Samuels Road and Childers Road that could (potentially) have CCTV pointing at its gates/the roadway. But I can't see CCTV there in 2015.


"Police appealed for dash camera and CCTV footage of the car, naming the locations of interest at Bundaberg — Airport Drive and Samuels Road — as well as Gin Gin."

What we know about the disappearance of 17yo Pheobe Bishop

Police have expanded their search for missing Bundaberg teenager Pheobe Bishop, appealing for information on movement in the Good Night Scrub National Park.

Apple Maps appear to be more updated than Google Maps. There is a large fenced area on one side of the road all along Samuels Road

That's unofficial, ahey? We don't know if that really happened yet.

 

[MissBettyCooper]

On Apple Maps if you zoom in it states there are surveillance cameras in use all along the side of Samuels Road

In Apple Maps, can you see the business on the corner of Samuels and Childers? (Not the big waste recycling plant. Before that) That is the one that I have been looking at for CCTV. It has a gated opening onto Samuels Road.

You can see part of the fence from Cummings Road on Google, that part of the map is from 2020. The Google satellite view is more current as it shows the new houses built.

Oh yeah I was just surmising. Although I thought one of the earlier news stories reported that there was an argument in the car? Could that argument have caused them to stop around the Samuels Road area? https://www.skynews.com.au/australi...ws-story/af3224db20150f9d17c2d217f42390f4?amp

Allegedly Police are investigating this ….

Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson has confirmed police were investigating reports Pheobe had been fighting with someone in the car on the way to the airport and was kicked out of the vehicle.

I wonder if PB's disappearance
has money motive.

If, of course,
foul play was involved.

Because, what other motive can it be?
Was the alleged argument about finances?

This is usually an "explosive issue" among people,
often leading to anger & violence.

This was posted publically online. They’ve realised they drove past the house on 16 May. There’s a black 4wd out the front of the property as well. Do we know who it belongs to and if it’s been checked out. WHERE IS PHEOBE BISHOP | Facebook

I'd guess it belongs to JW going by the number plate. The motor seems to be removed and on the back of the boat, so possibly not running.

Excellent Find!

Pure speculation …..

What IF ……they drive down Samuels Road to ensure they were picked up on CCTV that morning ???? (Being in the area of the airport) (and if it’s common knowledge about the CCTV Cameras down that road)

What if the entire trip to the airport that morning was building themselves an alibi??? (To make it appear that they had dropped PB off)

It could mean that something happened to PB on the night of the 14th, possibly ….
IMO


Police say there is no evidence Pheobe was ever dropped off at Bundaberg Airport.

I've been thinking in the 14th too. Mainly due to the bf talk about the dry texting. I think dry was the word used
