Photo of Pheobe Bishop's housemate reportedly spotted on popular app
An undated profile with a photo of the housemate of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop has reportedly been seen on the popular dating app Tinder.
Daily Mail Australia reported a profile purporting to be of Wood was seen on Tinder, with an undated photo of himself listed as looking for 'short-term fun' on the site.
Wood is wearing aviator sunglasses and a cowboy hat in the photo, along with a high vis polo top.
Wood shared a dilapidated home in the small town of Gin Gin, about 50km from Bundaberg, with Bishop and his current girlfriend, Tanika Bromley.
The Gin Gin property and Tanika Bromley's grey Hyundai ix35 were both declared a crime scene following the disappearance.
However, the vehicle has since been returned back to Bromley. A photo of Pheobe Bishop's housemate James Wood has been seen attached to a Tinder profile. Credit: Tinder
7NEWS is not suggesting Wood or Bromley are involved in the disappearance of Bishop.
Police have repeatedly said both parties have been co-operative in the investigation.
Bishop was last seen about 8.30am on May 15 at Airport Dr in Bundaberg, Queensland. The teenager was planning to fly to Perth to spend time with a boyfriend, prior to her going missing.
The housemates told police they dropped the teenager to Bundaberg Airport. However, Pheobe failed to check in for her flight and no CCTV footage of her has emerged. Pheobe Bishop was last seen near Bundaberg's airport in southern Queensland. Credit: AAP
Just days ago, Pheobe's mother, Kylie Johnson, released a heartbreaking statement asking for her daughter back.
However, the distraught mother has had to deal with trolling after uploading the clip.
'I'm sorry that I'm currently an emotional wreck, trying to protect our other children from the media and the trolls, trying to continue to breathe while your world shatters around you!' Johnson said.
'People wanted a statement, they got one yet still question me as a mother?' Johnson posted afterwards.
'If anyone would like to be in this position please step in and show me how to do this? Show me what a perfect parent looks like.
'Show me how to navigate this? Show me how to deal with the unknown and the uncertainty? Show me how to use perfect language and emotion in a situation that no parent ever wants to be in.'
Police, firefighters, SES crews have all been involved in the search for the teenager, near Good Night National Park, where they have deployed drones to scan dense scrub and creek beds.
The search was called off last week.
Pheobe is described as being 180cm, pale complexion, long dyed red hair, and hazel eyes.

Missing teen's housemates to face murder charges
The housemates of missing teen Pheobe Bishop are set to appear in court after being charged with the 17-year-old's murder. James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, were arrested in southern Queensland's Bundaberg area on Thursday night. It marked three weeks to the day after Pheobe missed a flight and vanished. Wood and Bromley were also charged with two counts each of interfering with a corpse. Pheobe's remains are yet to be located, police said. Pheobe's mother Kylie Johnson said on Thursday night her family had been "shattered". Ms Johnson had been posting on social media almost every day since her daughter's "suspicious" disappearance pleading for information. "Our world has just been shattered into the most horrific place I've ever been…" she wrote on Thursday night. "I need my baby home to put her to rest! I'm absolutely begging anyone that knows anything to come forward. "We need to put her to rest, we need to put her to peace." Wood and Bromley are set to appear in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday. Police will address the media at a press conference in Bundaberg from 9am AEST on Friday. "Detectives continue to investigate this matter, and physical searches will continue as needed as information is provided," a Queensland Police statement said. Pheobe was last seen near Bundaberg airport about 8.30am on May 15 after booking a trip to Western Australia to see her boyfriend. CCTV footage indicated Pheobe never arrived at the airport terminal. Wood had previously been taken into custody on Wednesday but was released several hours later without charge. The search for Pheobe was scaled back on Wednesday after police had spent weeks combing several areas of interest in southern Queensland. One of those areas was a property in Gin Gin where Pheobe had lived with Wood and Bromley. The Gin Gin property near Bundaberg and a grey Hyundai ix35, thought to have been used to take Pheobe to the airport, were declared crime scenes soon after her disappearance which police described as suspicious. The police search at one stage focused on Good Night Scrub national park, an hour's drive from Bundaberg airport, with homicide detectives, cadaver dogs and divers called in. Some items believed to be linked to the investigation were seized for forensic examination. The search revealed evidence might have been moved from the national park before police arrived. Wood and Bromley had earlier been charged with unrelated weapons offences. The heartbreaking toll of Pheobe's disappearance had been documented by Ms Johnson's social media posts as they held onto hope. "I don't know if life will ever be the same again? I don't know if I will ever look at the world the same way that I did before May 15th," Ms Johnson posted on Wednesday.
