Full tragic timeline of 3-week hunt for Pheobe Bishop – from airport disappearance to housemate arrests and horror find
PHEOBE Bishop mysteriously vanished over three weeks ago in a gripping disappearance case which puzzled the world. The shocking story has been plagued by grim twists and heartbreaking pleas after the 17-year-old teenager went missing near an airport on May 15. 16 16 16 16 Before she disappeared, Pheobe had been living in the town of Gin Gin, which is north of Brisbane in Australia. The sleepy neighbourhood has a population of about 1,100 people. The teenager had been living in a derelict pad - which had a foul smell and was very noisy according to neighbours. She lived there with two housemates: James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33. On the day she went missing, Pheobe was meant to board a flight to see her boyfriend in Western Australia. Her housemates drove her to Bundaberg airport, but police said CCTV there never even saw her enter the terminal and she never actually checked in. She was on her way to Perth to visit her "high-school sweetheart" boyfriend. Pheobe reportedly made a last minute call to him at 8:30am mere moments before she was set to get on the flight to Western Australia. A family member said: "She didn't check in for her flight to visit her boyfriend who she spoke to on the phone at 8.30am." According to the Daily Mail, Wood said the couple had an explosive argument in the car with Pheobe over whether she could do her makeup before arriving at the airport. He said they pulled over just under a kilometre from their destination. Wood and Bromley then allegedly walked off and were away from Pheobe and the car for five minutes, according to the 34-year-old. A missing person's report was issued for her one day later on May 16. Her worried sick sister, Kaylea Bishop, sent Wood and Bromley a simple text, demanding to know the whereabouts of her sibling. She said: "Where is my sister?" On the following weekend, her desperate mum Kylie Johnson made emotional pleas for anyone with information to come forward. By May 18, over 400 missing person posters with Pheobe's photo had been plastered across the Wide Bay region. The next week, on Monday May 19, police launched their search for Pheobe. It covered land along Bundaberg's Airport Drive and the surrounding areas. 16 16 16 16 But mysteriously, police didn't find any sign of the teen or her belongings. Police, along with Pheobe's mum, described her disappearance as out of character on May 20. They also asked the public for information about the 2011 grey Hyundai ix35 hatch, owned by Bromley, that had been seen around Airport Drive at the time of Pheoebe's disappearance. The next day, police updated the case and said they were treating Pheobe's disappearance as a suspicious. They also declared two crime scenes - one being the run-down home she was living at, and the other being the infamous Hyundai she was driven to the airport in. After inspecting the foul-smelling home, police found four dead dogs rotting inside. But it was later understood that these four pups died of natural causes. Airport Drive, Samuels Road and Gin Gin were also named as locations of interest. On May 22, Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson stressed the importance of public information. In a chilling plea, he said: "People don't vanish." 16 16 16 The day after that, police revealed they were searching through bushland and waterways at Good Night Scrub National Park, near to where Pheobe was last seen. This scan went on for the next two days, during which police dogs joined the hunt. On May 25 Bromley was arrested in a major twist after police allegedly found weapons in her silver Hyundai. On May 26, the search area was expanded - before cops made a harrowing revelation. They believed evidence had been moved from the Good Night Scrub area before they arrived there. And on this same day, a new number plate was discovered to have been suspiciously painted and taped over the notorious Hyundai's original plate. The gruelling search effort in Good Night Scrub National Park then continued from May 27 for five more days. Disturbingly, the search appeared to lose hope as police said they would no longer be doing any more physical scans for Pheobe on Wednesday, June 4. They said they would restart any searches only when they had relevant information. But in a dramatic twist on the very same day - Pheobe's housemate Wood was arrested. 16 However, no charges were made and he was released a day later on June 5. And in yet another turn in the tale - Wood and Bromley were then both arrested and charged with murder on the same day Wood was released - exactly three weeks after Pheobe went missing. They were each charged with one count of murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse. Shocking footage released on Friday showed the moment police arrested Wood and escorted him out of an RV for the "homicide of Pheobe Bishop". Both Wood and Bromley appeared at Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday morning. Outside the building, Pheobe's heartbroken sister Kaylea Bishop said her sibling was 'loved and missed' dearly. Kaylea and Pheobe had a close relationship and were planning to move in together last year. And in the latest heartbreaking update, human remains were found during a search for Pheobe. They are yet to be identified, but police have spoken to Pheobe's family regarding the harrowing discovery. The body was found close to Good Night Scrub National Park, near Gin Gin, on Friday, June 6 at around 2:30pm. 16 Pheobe's mum then made a heartbreaking statement. She said: "I didn't think my heart could break anymore than it did when you went missing, or when the charges were laid but this. "This is ripping me apart." Pheobe had previously said online that she wasn't living with her mum, and that she had been "in and out" of home for years. Cops are now set to allege that Wood, Bromley and Pheobe were all in the car when it arrived at Airport Drive near Bundaberg Airport in the morning of May 15. They believe that the trio never actually left the car. Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield said: "Our evidence will outline the fact that three people arrived near to the airport, and three people never exited that vehicle." Wood and Bromley will appear in court on August 11.

Mum died trapped head-first between rocks as tide rose after possible delay in scrambling firefighters, inquest told
A MUM died trapped head-first between rocks as the tide rose after a possible delay in sending firefighters, an inquest heard. Saffron Cole-Nottage was walking with her dog and daughter on a path at the base of the sea wall in Lowestoft, Suffolk, when the horror unfolded. 5 The 32-year-old lost her footing, with her head becoming trapped between giant boulders as the tide rose on February 2. Saffron screamed for help as her daughter and passers-by frantically attempted to free the mum-of-three. A pre-inquest review heard Saffron was discovered at 7.45pm and a 999 call was made to the East of England Ambulance Service at 7.52pm. Suffolk Area Coroner Darren Stewart OBE said there appeared to have been contact between the ambulance service and Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service at 8.04pm or 8.05pm. A "subsequent call' from the Coastguard to the fire service but firefighters were not dispatched until five minutes later, the court was told. Mr Stewart said he wanted to examine a possible 'inconsistency' in communications between emergency services. He added: 'In essence I want to understand in terms of the chronology whether there has been correct application of the co-ordination arrangements in respect of the best or most appropriate emergency services response. 'On my initial view of the chronology there seems to be some inconsistency in terms of how some of the responses were being co-ordinated. Whether any of that was causative of her death is another matter that must be considered by the court. 'When it comes to rising water levels and the method of death that occurred which is drowning, there is a very limited window of time available to be able to respond and save a life in those circumstances.' Saffron was eventually rescued by emergency crews but tragically couldn't be saved. A post mortem has been carried out but Saffron's cause of death has not been revealed. Mr Stewart said a full inquest would 'examine the circumstances' of how she became trapped in the rocks and then "sadly dying as a result of the water levels rising". He adjourned the inquest for another pre-inquest hearing in September or October, with a view to a full hearing in March or April next year. It previously emerged Saffron was walking along a path under the town's Esplanade promenade, despite signs telling people to keep away from the area. Local likened the path to an 'ice rink' as it was so slippery due to it being covered in algae. Tributes flooded for Saffron, who lived in Lowestoft with her partner and children after moving from Gillingham, Kent. She had two daughters aged 11 and seven and a baby son born last year. Friend Trish Butler said Saffron was 'a beautiful girl inside and out'. She added: 'She was a lovely girl and a wonderful person, and the life and soul wherever she went.' Flowers left at the scene of the tragedy described her as a 'beautiful' mum who would be 'forever missed'. One touching tribute said: 'My beautiful mummy, I love you the world.' Her partner left a hand-written message, saying: 'My darling Saff, What can I really say. There are no words to express how much we will miss you. 'The world is so cruel and to take you in this freak horrific way will not sit well with me for the rest of my life. 'You will be forever missed by so many, and I'm really not sure I'll ever be the same without you. Me and the kids will love you and never forget you. "Until we meet again, love always, Mike and the kids.' 5 5
