Timeline of Wide Bay teenager Pheobe Bishop's disappearance
Almost three weeks after Queensland teenager Pheobe Bishop went missing, police have taken her male housemate into custody.
The 17-year-old girl from the Wide Bay region, about four hours north of Brisbane, has not been seen or heard from since Thursday, May 15.
James Wood, 34, was arrested on Wednesday but no charges have been laid.
The arrest followed an announcement earlier in the day by police that they would no longer be conducting any "physical searches" for Pheobe.
Instead, police said searches would restart "as needed and as information is provided".
Pheobe had been living in the town of Gin Gin, which has a population of about 1,100 people, with two people police had called "associates".
She had been meant to board a flight from Bundaberg to Western Australia on May 15, but police said airport CCTV showed she never entered the terminal.
Police issued a missing person's report about 6pm a day later, on Friday, May 16.
Over the following weekend, Pheobe's mother Kylie Johnson repeatedly posted to social media urging anyone with information to contact police.
By Sunday, May 18, more than 400 missing person posters with Pheobe's photo were plastered across the Wide Bay region.
On Monday, May 19, police conducted a land search along Bundaberg's Airport Drive and surrounding areas but failed to find Pheobe or any of her belongings.
Police described her disappearance as out of character and at a media conference on Tuesday, May 20, asked for information about a 2011 grey Hyundai ix35 hatch that had been seen around Airport Drive.
On Wednesday, May 21, six days after Pheobe went missing, police said they were treating her disappearance as suspicious and two crime scenes had been established.
The crime scenes were the home where Pheobe had been living and the car she was believed to be in on to way to the airport.
Police appealed for dash camera and CCTV footage of the car, naming the locations of interest at Bundaberg — Airport Drive and Samuels Road — as well as Gin Gin.
By Thursday, May 22, Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson said public information would be vital in finding Pheobe.
"People don't vanish," he said.
On Friday, May 23, more than a week after her daughter was last heard from, Ms Johnson urged people to hold their loved ones tight.
That afternoon, at a press conference, police revealed specialist officers were searching bushland and waterways at Good Night Scrub National Park.
The search of the national park continued throughout the weekend of May 24 and 25.
On the Saturday, forensic police collected items in brown evidence bags, but would not confirm whether it was linked to Pheobe's disappearance.
Police dogs joined the search on the Sunday.
On Monday, May 26, police expanded their search area, saying they believed evidence may have been moved from the Good Night Scrub area before they arrived.
The same day, Premier David Crisafulli said Pheobe's disappearance was deeply concerning and that police would be given every resource needed to do the job.
On Tuesday, May 27, police renewed their appeal for information, and a day later, the search in Good Night Scrub National Park was suspended after five days.
Police said they would continue to investigate.
This morning, they confirmed physical searches would be called off.
Throughout the time Pheobe has been missing, her mother has been posting on social media about the family's ordeal.
In a video statement released via police on Saturday, Ms Johnson said her family's life had changed for the worse since her daughter's disappearance.
"I still hold hope that Pheobe will come home, but I have to consider the possibility that she also won't," she said.
In a social media post this morning, Ms Johnson questioned whether life would be the same again.
"Starting day 20 with you still missing Pheobe," the post read.
"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."

Scientist rejects 'gag' accusation over Murujuga rock art report
A lead scientist behind a major report monitoring the impact of pollution on the ancient rock art of Murujuga in Western Australia has broken his silence, saying industry and the more than one million petroglyphs can co-exist, while rejecting accusations of a gag on researchers. Professor Ben Mullins, who helps lead a team of dozens of scientists doing long-term research on the site, hasn't spoken publicly since their 800-page report was released a fortnight ago. On Friday morning he spoke publicly for the first time and told ABC Radio National Breakfast host Sally Sara the group's findings suggest there may have been some impact on the rocks, but that air quality has improved in the area over time. "The evidence [is] that the effects we have measured, this increased porosity in the rocks, most likely happened in the past," he said. "There's nothing in our report that suggests industry and the rock art can't coexist and the emissions can't be managed to an appropriate level." The federal government has given provisional approval to Woodside Energy's bid to extend its controversial North West Shelf gas project until 2070, angering climate activists and some traditional owners who say the emissions produced would be a "death sentence" for the ancient rock carvings. The provisional approval came shortly after a major blow to efforts to have the Murujuga Cultural Landscape listed as a World Heritage site, which has been supported by the federal and state government, as well as the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation. Professor Mullins said he supported the effort to have the landscape listed. 'It's a really amazing place and it really deserves World Heritage protection,' he said. Just days before federal Environment Minister Murray Watt confirmed his provisional approval of the North West Shelf project extension, the West Australian government released the 800-page monitoring report. WA Premier Roger Cook pointed to its findings to argue industrial activity was having no ongoing impact on the rock art. That led to a furious response from University of Western Australia professor of archaeology Benjamin Smith, who accused the state government of misrepresenting the full report in shorter summary report he described as 'propaganda'. Professor Smith spectacularly ripped up a copy of the summary report in front of cameras at the Western Australia State Parliament last week. He said the academics who worked on the paper had been under a "lockdown" and weren't allowed to speak about the work. His comments came alongside a report by 7:30 that another leader of the rock art monitoring project, Emeritus Professor Adrian Baddeley, wrote to WA's Department of Water and Environmental Regulation to complain about "unacceptable interference" in the summary report, calling it "factually incorrect". But Professor Mullins rejected claims the summary report had been misleading. "[It] was always intended to be a simple lay person summary for the general public. It went through a process to develop it," he said "I don't think it misrepresents the findings in the main report and the important thing is that the full report, all 800 plus pages plus the associated documents, have all been published exactly as we the scientist wrote them. "We all stand by them." He said researchers had "certainly not" been gagged. The federal Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is now in talks with Woodside Energy over conditions on the final approval of the North West Shelf extension. Environmental groups have written an open letter to Minister Watt calling on him to open the consultation process to the public. The letter, also signed by former WA Labor premiers Peter Dowding and Dr Carmen Lawerence, called the North West Shelf extension "one of the most significant decisions that has or will ever be made by any Australian Minister for the Environment". "The last time public comment was invited on the overall proposal was nearly six years ago — during the WA state EPA assessment in 2019," the letter said. "A huge amount of new information has become available on the impacts and implications of the proposal since that time, including groundbreaking new information released in recent days." It's understood the minister will not open the project to further public consultation. A spokesperson for Woodside said the company has taken proactive steps over many years to manage the impacts of the North West Shelf project. "The latest findings from the state-led, independent peer-reviewed Murujuga Rock Art Monitoring Program build on earlier independent research," they said. "They support the view that responsible operations, backed by science, Traditional Custodian leadership and collaboration, can help protect the unique heritage for future generations."

Cairns mayor accused of 'chilling' debate amid proposed 800pc retirement village rate hike
Elderly residents of retirement villages in Cairns lobbying against a council proposal to hike their rates have hit out at the city's mayor, accusing her of "spying" on their movements using social media. Cairns Regional Council is proposing to charge its minimum general rate of about $1,072 to each individual unit in retirement villages from next financial year. Currently, it imposes a single charge across entire villages. Retirement village operators say the change would lead to a rates increase of about 800 per cent which they claim they would be required to pass on to elderly residents under state legislation. Cairns Mayor Amy Eden defended the council's position during a live radio interview with ABC Far North this week saying many retirement villages "put in requests [to the council] for footpaths" which ratepayers had to pay for. But it was a follow-up remark about elderly residents using council-owned recreational spaces that one critic said has had a "chilling effect". "Ratepayers pay for that. Everyone needs to contribute." Retirement village resident Judy Holtzheimer, who has lobbied against the council's proposal, said she was shocked by the mayor's on-air comments. "I was absolutely stunned that someone in her position would, I would say in my words, stoop to spying on elderly [people]," she said. Another retirement village resident, Kay Nyland, said she believed she would be "one of the people" the mayor has looked up "because I have been very prominent on social media about this issue". The ABC has contacted Ms Eden to seek her response to the concerns. In a statement, a council spokesman said today the council "does not engage in tracking of residents". "It is well known that the mayor is active on social media and uses it to engage with the community," he said. "It is also common for social media users to post images of themselves using council facilities, which as a social media user the mayor made an offhand reference to on radio." Cairns Regional Council argues changing its rating structure would bring retirement villages into line with other multi-dwelling complexes. She said others should seek financial hardship assistance from their village operator or the council. "There are always going to be a percentage of ratepayers that really struggle to pay their rates," Ms Eden said. "That is just the way that it goes." The retirement village sector has campaigned against the proposal, concerned other councils could follow suit. Oak Tree Retirement Villages CEO Christine Gilroy said villages already paid for the installation of roads, lightning and garden maintenance, and that it would be a "double hit to those residents to pay that again". Retirement Living Council executive director Daniel Gannon said the council should put off its plan for a year for "genuine and proper consultation". He described Ms Eden's remark as "shocking and bizarre". The council is due to vote on the proposal at the end of June.

City of Vincent suspends e-scooter trial just days after death of Perth father
A second council has pulled the handbrake on e-scooters following a spate of serious incidents. The City of Vincent, a local government in Perth, has suspended its e-scooter trial as of June 6 to allow time for a review. Its rental scooters will be removed from the streets over the next 48 hours. Vincent's announcement comes a day after the City of Perth made the snap decision to suspend rental e-scooters indefinitely following the death of 51-year-old pedestrian Thanh Phan. 'We were very saddened to hear about the tragic accident in the City of Perth,' Vincent Mayor Alison Xamon said. 'Our condolences are with the family. 'Like our neighbours at Perth, we have decided to temporarily suspend our trial so we can review the safety of the hireable e-scooters and consider ways to improve this service or if it even needs to continue.' Phan, a Menora father of two, was allegedly struck by a drunk tourist while out for dinner in the CBD last Saturday night. 'A tragic event occurred at the weekend and our thoughts are with the deceased man's family at this very sad time,' City of Perth Deputy Lord Mayor Bruce Reynolds said on Thursday. 'In response to the fatality, the City of Perth has suspended the hiring of e-scooters.' Phan's death came just days after a 31-year-old man was killed in a late-night crash with a truck. An 11-year-old boy was fortunate not to have lost his right leg in a collision with a car in Lakelands, in Perth's south, on May 23. WA Police are preparing to crack down on unsafe riders and will launch an operation on Friday. Officers will be targeting speeding, mobile phones, riding under the influence of drugs and alcohol, helmet use and passenger limits. 'Police will be adopting an 'education through enforcement' approach to identified offences involving electric rideable devices,' WA Police said. St John Ambulance has responded to 328 serious e-scooter crashes this year. Doctors say devastating crashes involving e-scooters are on the rise, with one seriously injured rider presenting every day at RPH. 'We saw an exponential increase in these injuries over the last five or so years,' RPH trauma surgeon Dieter Weber told 7NEWS last week. 'This has been a new injury pattern that we simply did not have previously.' 'Traumatic injuries' Public health and safety experts have called for improved safety regulations across Australia after a new report identified that 176 injured children aged between five years and 15 years had been taken to Sunshine Coast University Hospital in 2023 and 2024. Researchers found one in 10 e-scooter injuries were life threatening or potentially life threatening, and almost four in 10 cases involved a broken bone. 'The types of injuries ranged from minor fractures and injuries through to traumatic brain injuries requiring a craniotomy,' lead author Matthew Clanfield said. 'A lot of the parents attending were extremely upset to see their child hospitalised and weren't aware how risky e-scooters can be or the legal requirement for supervision under 16.' Public Health Association of Australia chief executive Terry Slevin said e-scooters were 'proving (to be) a genuine public health risk and injury prevention issue'. 'This study provides data in one region and in one hospital, but this is an issue in every town and city where they have landed across Australia,' he said. The Queensland Government is preparing to hold a public inquiry into e-scooters and other mobility devices.
