Pheobe Bishop: Major breakthrough as Queensland police arrest 34yo man in missing teenager case
A major breakthrough has been made in the case of missing 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop after police confirmed they had arrested a man who is assisting them with their inquiries. A 34-year-old has been taken into custody and is being questioned in relation to the disappearance of Ms Bishop who went missing in the town of Gin Gin on May 15. No charges have been laid but the arrest is a welcome moment for detectives and Pheobe Bishop's family who are trying desperately to locate the teenager. Earlier on Wednesday, police in Queensland said they had made the tough decision to scale back the search for the missing girl. The search at the Good Night Scrub National Park has been suspended police said in a statement, as the investigation into the disappearance of 17-year-old Pheobe continues. Investigations are ongoing as police continue to sound out several lines of enquiry, but physical searches have now been flagged to continue as needed and as any further information into her disappearance is provided. The greater Gin Gin area remains the focus of the investigation with two crime scenes declared — the car in which she was believed to have been travelling to the airport in, and the house where she had been living. Police continue to appeal to anyone with information, vision or sightings of a grey Hyundai ix35 between May 15 to 18 in the greater Gin Gin area to contact them directly of via Crimestoppers. Police declared the teenager's disappearance suspicious on May 21. Cadaver dogs, water police, drones and State Emergency Service personnel combed through thick scrub for five days and items of interest were collected for forensic examination. Last weekend Ms Bishops mother, Kylie Johnson, made a heartfelt plea for information into her daughter's case and pleaded with community members to come forward if they can assist police. In a clear sign of the depth of concern for missing 17-year-old Gin Gin teen, Pheobe Bishop, her mother, Kylie Johnson, has made a public appeal for assistance in the search for her daughter. In the prepared statement Ms Johnson at times spoke in past tense which may have revealed the gravity with which detectives are treating the situation. 'Hi I'm Kylie, I'm Pheobe's mum and our lives have been changed for the worse after the sudden disappearance of our daughter who was last seen on on May 15th,' Ms Johnson said. 'This is a pain no person or family should have to experience. 'Pheobe was a beautiful, loving, kind person and every day not knowing where she has been is devastating for us. 'This is why we are appealing for any information that may help to bring Pheobe home to contact the police. 'Even the smallest bit of information may be all the police need to find Pheobe' Ms Johnson went on to thank the police investigators who are working tirelessly to find the young woman. She also thanked the community for their support and said 'she still holds hope that Pheobe will come home'. Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000.
