A major phase of the search for missing teenager Pheobe Bishop has been suspended one day after her flatmate was granted bail in relation to separate weapon charges.

Police had been searching a dense patch of bushland in the Good Night Scrub National Park over several days for clues about the 17-year-old Bundaberg local’s disappearance.

Bishop was last seen at about 8.30am on May 15 at Airport Dr in Bundaberg. The teenager was planning to fly to Perth to spend time with a boyfriend, but never made it to the airport.

Police confirmed on Wednesday morning that the search for Bishop has been suspended in the Good Night area.

“Investigations are ongoing and police are continuing to run out several lines of enquiry,” police said.

“In addition to investigative work, physical searches will continue as needed and as information is provided.

“The greater Gin Gin area remains the focus of the investigation.”

Firefighters, SES crews and specialist police, including police divers, had been searching remote areas, deploying drones to scan dense scrub and creek beds.

Cadaver dogs were deployed by police, and forensics teams in blue dust suits were seen bagging items of interest during the search.

Firearms seized

It comes one day after Bishop’s flatmate was granted bail after police allegedly found guns inside a car that was searched by detectives investigating her disappearance.

Police charged Bishop’s 33-year-old housemate after allegedly finding a firearm and two replica handguns in her car.

Bail conditions now ban the woman from contacting her boyfriend, also a housemate of Bishops.

There is no suggestion that Bishop’s housemates are involved in the teenager’s disappearance.

Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson told media on Tuesday, that a vehicle of interest, a grey Hyundai ix35, had been seized, and had since been released by police.

“The vehicle was seized by police and treated as a crime scene. A number of examinations were conducted on that vehicle and items seized and that has since been released by police,” he said.

After being asked about allegations the cars number plates had been seen altered with black electrical tape, obscuring the vehicle’s registration, he said: “Police are aware of the that. We are following up an investigation in relation to that.”

Pheobe’s mum speaks out

In a new post written by Bishop’s mother, Kylie Johnson, she described the struggles of not knowing what has happened to her daughter.

“Finding it hard to get out of bed today, to find the strength to put one foot in front of the other and know what to do, what to think or what to say,” she said.

“People have judgements, accusations and continue say untruths. I’m not going to correct you or be investing what little strength I have to be correcting these statements or people.

“We as a family are just trying to go through the motions of waiting for Phee to come home.”
