Authorities are intensifying the search for 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop, who has been missing for 10 days since her last known contact on May 15. The efforts are concentrated in a remote area west of Bundaberg, Queensland, specifically within the Good Night Scrub National Park.
Search operations involving land, air, and water resources have been ongoing, especially after police classified her disappearance as suspicious. Various items of interest have been recovered during the searches, which may aid in the investigation.
Police are requesting information from anyone who was in the national park on May 15, particularly those who may have seen a grey Hyundai ix35, a vehicle vital to the inquiry. So far, no arrests have been made, but investigators continue to interview individuals familiar with Pheobe.
In a show of community support, locals illuminated their verandas overnight following a heartfelt plea from Pheobe’s mother on social media. The family is concerned, expressing that Pheobe would never voluntarily refrain from contacting them for this length of time. The continuing search and community engagement highlight the urgency and seriousness of the situation as her loved ones remain hopeful for her safe return.
