Heartbroken mum of missing teen Pheobe Bishop asks locals to 'keep their porch lights on' as forensics arrive at new search location
The devastated mother of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop has urged locals to 'keep their porch lights on' as forensics arrive at the search for the 17-year-old.
Pheobe was last seen
leaving a home in Gin Gin, Bundaberg, where she had been living with couple Tanika Bromley and James Wood, on May 15.
It comes as the search for Pheobe resumed on Saturday morning as over 40 SES volunteers entered thick bushland in the Good Night Scrub National Park.
SES volunteers from Bundaberg, Elliot Heads, Moore Park, Gin Gin, Gladstone, Calliope, Mount Perry, Bargara and Tiaro are assisting in the search which has moved to the wider area in and around Gin Gin, and rural areas west of the suburb.
A drone expert from Queensland Fire and Rescue is being deployed above the area to assist in the search for the missing teen and will focus on the river.
Among the volunteers is Gin Gin resident Midge, who has worked with the SES since 2011. She could be heard calling instructions through the trees to her team.
'It's going to be hard going today. It's just going to be thick scrub. We don't know what we're looking for, just anything out of place,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
Pheobe Bishop's heartbroken mum addressed her missing daughter directly in a heartfelt Facebook post as the search resumed for the 17-year-old on Saturday.
