One very interesting thing I did notice was that JW and his family / mates were advocates for the fund raising rodeo events for "Do it for Dolly".

The action group that stands against bullying, violence and abuse after a young girl committed suicide, Dolly Everett.

For anyone searching there is another man by the same name of Gin Gin man JW, associated to the cause. This is NOT the JW in question.

JW and his mates were part of a rodeo fund raiser for the cause.

I just thought it ironic that here are 2 people caught up in community groups that advocate positive reform and community support to the disadvantaged , yet have possibly committed the worst crime imaginable, using drugs and carrying weapons, losing their kids and having a long list of charges under their belts.

Yeah true, but lots of people get involved with causes just for positioning or virtue signalling. And in a rural area with not a lot going on, a rodeo fund raiser would be just a bit of fun for people like that.
 
I dont think she even got to that airport.

Nor was she left on the airport link road, where it was originally mentioned she was left after an argument, with her luggage , to make her way across 2 busy lanes of traffic , 2 roundabouts , before even getting to the entrance of the terminal, that is full of security cameras.

Theres CCTV footage showing her in TB car near Samuel Rd, then they at least made it into Bundaberg and the airport area.

Maybe she was in an argument with JW and tried to get out of the car, then him getting her back in and driving off somewhere

Maybe she tried to call her BF and then her phone was switched off. Maybe thrown away in the general area?

Maybe JW drove around working out what the # to do and then decided to take her toward Burnett River areas, or possibly back to their huge property with the once barking dogs that were all dead by the time police arrived 5 days later, to an abandoned house, with no sign of JW and TB.

The property isn’t huge - 1158m2.

“I honestly have no words to describe our heartbreak, heartache or fear that we won’t see or hear from her again....
Flea Flea my heart tells me that you won’t see this but I love you more than anything in the world ......
If you knew Pheobe you would know that she is free spirited and loves hard! She is loyal to the core and cutthroat.”

<modsnip>

They are obviously a freedom loving family dynamic and maybe the mother and daughter didn't see eye to eye, PB mentions this in her social posts.

It could be that TB was in the life of PB growing up as the wedding photos indicate this closeness of her mother and TB.

That maybe why PB ended up at that house, getting out of her mothers house and into a family friend house to escape. Realising that it was perhaps a bad move going there, "these are not my people" and TB and JW demanding money from her before her flight away???

Interesting that her mother said her bank account hasn't been touched since Wednesday 14, the day before she went missing.

I think the mother is beside herself and probably knows it wasnt a good move on PB to move in with TB and JW, but at 17 what could the mother do to stop it?

3. Removal of dead dogs.- this one is very morbid and purely speculation on my behalf. If a person with a history of firearm possession wanted to create a valid coverup for gunshot noises that were possibly heard by neighbors, what reason could they use? 'oh that was just me shooting my noisy dogs'. Very coincidental that it occurred when it did. Conjecture on my behalf but I can't think of any other reason why.
Ugh…could also envision the roommates spinning a story about the dogs having attacked Pheobe, following which the roommates shot them to try to stop the attack, and then, finding that she’d not survived the dog attack, having disposed of her remains.

What do you mean by "freedom loving family"?

Yes it was just an observation

Both of them having participated in community organisations that are there to support victims of abuse, social needs and care.

And here we are.

Re: PB's tiktok post said "I'm not built for this town, these aren't my people. so b4 you try n get close to me just don't. I refuse to rot."

To me this is at least partly about Gin Gin in general. It's a bad place, druggies and crims all over it. And cops don't care or do hardly anything. Go to the local police station, half the time nobody is there. And after hours they have to come from Bundy

Yes I agree 100%
The town, these people, the house she was at, all of it. A bad move and she realised that
 

Eerie unanswered question lingers near Bundaberg as shocking new details emerge about a rotting stench coming from the home where Pheobe Bishop was last seen before she vanished without a trace​


“Questions remain over exactly why she was living there, but final posts she made to social media before she disappeared suggested the troubled teen had fallen out with her mother and would not return home.

Ms Bromley's 2011 silver Hyundai ix35 hatchback with registration 414-EW3 - believed to be the car she travelled to Airport Drive in - has also been declared a crime scene.

Detectives said believe Ms Bromley and Mr Wood were the two people who drove her the 40 minutes to the airport.

Early reports suggested police had discovered and removed four dead dogs from the scene, but one neighbour told Daily Mail Australia she believed as many as 13 of the animals had been found.

Horrified residents watched from their windows and from the street as a forensics team scoured the location, with local police keeping careful watch.”


 
Confusing reports as to whether both housemates were in the car or if it was just one of them. The report about a CCTV view of the car in Samuels Road says that Pheobe was in the back, so presume the two front seats were occupied?


On Wednesday, Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson confirmed Pheobe was being driven to the airport by one of the two people she had been living with in the town of Gin Gin, west of Bundaberg, who have since been revealed to be James Wood and Tanika Bromley.

He confirmed police are confident Pheobe never made it to the airport.

Her luggage is also missing.

It is not known which roommate was in the car with Pheobe, but police are also probing reports the 17-year-old was arguing with the driver on her way to the airport and was kicked out of the car before going missing.”

What IS interesting about this article is TB was found to have been carrying those weapons out near Emerald.
The very region JW and his ex lived and of which JW had left her only 6 months prior to moving to Gin Gin and in with TB......

More to this story IMO
