EXCLUSIVE The Tinder row that rocked missing teenager Pheobe Bishop's housemates - as bizarre video emerges of 'cheating' boyfriend singing soppy love song in the car he now lives in
The housemate of missing Pheobe Bishop was caught on a dating app by his girlfriend in the lead up to the teenager's mysterious disappearance two weeks ago. Pheobe, 17, was last seen on May 15 when James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, gave her a lift to the airport from their ramshackle home in Gin Gin, near Bundaberg, central Queensland. She told friends she was leaving the 'hellhole' living arrangements - as she branded it - to be with her high school sweetheart in Western Australia. The housemates told police they dropped the teen off at Bundaberg Airport in Bromley's 2011 grey Hyundai ix35 hatchback. But Pheobe never checked into her flight and no CCTV of her at the airport has been found. Now Daily Mail Australia can reveal that in February, Wood had been spotted on Tinder looking for 'short term fun', prompting Bromley's friends to intervene. In the profile photo, Wood can be seen in a cowboy hat and aviator sunglasses and wearing a hi-viz tradie's work shirt with the logo obscured. It also states that he is 34 years old. 'Everyone had been telling Tanika he was cheating,' a friend of the former NDIS support services worker confirmed. 'When her mates found his profile and he denied it they listed it online in one of those 'Sis, is this your man,' Facebook groups to see if anyone had been with him. 'People came forward too, but even with all the proof, she decided to stay with him.' It is unknown why Pheobe was at the house or how long she had been there. Prior to her disappearance, she told her aunt Caz Johnson she was 'up s*** creek,' and couldn't wait to leave. Pheobe claimed her mother, Kylie Johnson, had told her to 'get out' of the family home. She also messaged a friend to say she was heading away to see her boyfriend for 10 days. 'I take off to WA in three days! Get out of this s*** home for a bit so that will be good, just packing atm [at the moment].' Both the Gin Gin house and the Hyundai were sealed off by police and combed over by forensics experts. Up to 11 dead dogs were reportedly removed from the rubbish-strewn yard. The housemates have since been charged with unrelated weapons offences after police impounded the car and allegedly discovered a shortened firearm, two replica handguns and ammunition in the car. Bromley's strict bail conditions include a curfew and that she not see Wood. Police have now released the car and Wood appears to be living in it with at least one dog, after Daily Mail Australia found them sleeping inside the car in a nearby street. He was also filmed and confronted by an angry local, with video later posted online. Last week, days after the teen went missing, he posted a bizarre, two-minute video of himself lounging back in the driver's seat of a car. Heavily filtered, Wood lip-syncs to the 2017 love song Perfect by Ed Sheeran, dramatically closing his eyes and then biting the silver chain around his neck. When lyrics mention 'listening to our favourite song,' Wood looks emotionally at the camera tapping his heart. 'Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know,' he croons along with the song. 'She shares my dreams, I hope that someday, I'll share her home. 'I found a love to carry more than just my secrets. 'To carry love, to carry children of our own.' The car appears to be parked alongside bushland with only grass and trees visible from the windows. He also posted a single black and white selfie with the words: 'Let it never be said I'm not where I need to be on time.' No charges have been laid over Pheobe's disappearance and it is not suggested that Bromley and Wood were involved in her disappearance. The police investigation into her disappearance continues.

Pheobe Bishop's mum shares blunt message as she is targeted by cruel trolls after issuing another public plea for help to find her missing daughter
The mum of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop has furiously hit back after her public plea for help to find her daughter was ripped apart by trolls. Kylie Johnson begged the public to come forward with information in a video appeal shared by Queensland Police on Saturday, over two weeks after Pheobe was last seen leaving a home in Gin Gin, Bundaberg, on the morning of May 15. Pheobe shared the rundown property with housemates James Wood and Tanika Bromley who have since been charged with unrelated weapons offences. No charges have been laid over Pheobe's disappearance and Daily Mail Australia does not suggest Bromley and Wood were involved in her disappearance. 'This investigation will not be over for me until we find Pheobe,' Ms Johnson said during the two-minute clip. 'I still hold hope that Pheobe will come home but I have to consider the possibility that she also won't. 'If the worst-case scenario has happened, I at least need to know where she's resting. I need to know where Pheobe is.' Trolls criticised the grieving mother's statement with many accusing her of not being genuine and as a result she shared a furious post on Facebook. 'People wanted a statement, they got one yet still question me as a mother,' her post read. '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! '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?' In the video appeal, Ms Johnson thanked the police and the community for their ongoing support over the last fortnight. She described her daughter as a 'beautiful, loving, kind person' and desperately urged anyone with any information to come forward. This isn't the first time Ms Johnson has taken to social media to address the awful backlash she's received from some members of the public. On Tuesday, the teen's mother shared an emotional message to Facebook in which she said she was 'finding it hard to get out of bed'. 'To find the strength to put one foot in front of the other and know what to do, what to think or what to say,' she continued. 'People have judgements, accusations and continue (to) say untruths. 'I'm not going to correct you or be investing what little strength I have to be correcting these statements or people. We as a family are just trying to go through the motions of waiting for Phee to come home.' The post was quickly inundated with messages of support with friends and followers of the case urging Ms Johnson to ignore the trolls. Pheobe's housemates have told detectives they drove her to Bundaberg Airport on May 15 for an 8.30am flight to Brisbane and then on to Perth, where she planned to meet up with her boyfriend. No CCTV of her at the airport has been found. Police launched a search for the teenager in a nearby bushland area, scouring it for several days with cadaver dogs - but on Wednesday, cops confirmed they had suspended the search.

EVERYTHING we know about the bizarre mystery of missing teen Pheobe Bishop that has gripped Australia - and the dark secrets the search for her has revealed every single day since she vanished
More than two weeks after she vanished on the way to the airport, the family of missing teen Pheobe Bishop are no closer to knowing what happened to her. Her disappearance has rocked the tiny community of Gin Gin, near Bundaberg, central Queensland, with dark secrets revealed, family rifts aired in public and bizarre twists and turns. But while the soap opera of revelations and allegations has unfolded, the fate of Pheobe remains an increasingly ominous mystery. Thursday May 15 It began when Pheobe failed to check in for her flight from Bundaberg via Brisbane to Perth, where she was planning to meet her boyfriend. She was being driven there by her housemates, Tanika Bromley, 33, and James Wood, 34, in Tanika's 14-year-old silver Hyundai ix35 SUV. She had been living with them at their ramshackle home after recently moving out of her mother's family farmhouse just outside of town. Pheobe used her phone for the last time during the trip in a call to her boyfriend at 8.30am, who later told a friend he was unable to hear anything before the call cut out. He later revealed how he waited for hours at Perth Airport for her to arrive, but flight after flight touched down without her. Friday May 16 When she failed to appear in Perth, the alert was raised and on Friday, Pheobe was declared a missing person. Mother Kylie Johnson made her first public appeal for help in the search and work began on sending out hundreds of flyers around town. Her worried mum insisted that the teen's disappearance was out of character. Bromley and Wood told police they dropped her off with her luggage at the airport. Pheobe was described as carrying luggage and wearing a green tank top and grey tracksuit pants. Saturday May 17 Housemate James Wood told a friend he had been printing flyers and admitted 'cops basically asked me if I did her in or hurt her at I was one of the last people to see her alive.' Wood is divorced and only moved to Gin Gin from Emerald, 500km west in Queensland's Central Highlands, around six months ago after the end of his marriage. Bromley is a mother of two and Gin Gin local with family believed to be in the Canberra area. The couple are said to have moved in together earlier this year. Police questioned both over Pheobe and released them without any charges in connection with her disappearance. Daily Mail Australia does not suggest that Wood or Bromley were involved in Pheobe's disappearance. Wood also took to social media offering his 5m tinnie fishing boat as a reward for any information about Pheobe's whereabouts. Monday May 20 Police searched Airport Drive but couldn't find any of Pheobe's belongings. They also failed to locate any CCTV of Pheobe at Bundaberg Airport. A nearby resident supplied CCTV footage of the Hyundai allegedly on Samuels Rd, just west of the airport, around 10.30am, two hours after Pheobe was due at the airport at 8.30am. Tuesday May 21 Reports emerge that Pheobe may have had an argument while being given a lift to the airport and was 'kicked out' of the car. Wednesday May 22 Detectives sealed off Bromley and Wood's rented Gin Gin property, and officers in forensics gear could be seen poring over the house, just off the main road in the centre of town. They were also seen combing areas around Samuels Rd, including a search beyond the perimeter of a local dump. Bromley's Hyundai was also seized by police, with forensic experts examining it at a facility in Bundaberg. Pheobe's last posts to social media before her disappearance also came to light, including an eerie March post to TikTok where she described having a conversation with her younger self. She said she did not 'see nor talk' to her mother any more 'but it's better like this'. Pheobe also wrote that she had been 'in and out' of home for years, but 'this time we're not going back'. The first reports of dead dogs found at the property emerge. Thursday May 22 Daily Mail Australia identified that Wood and Bromley were the couple Pheobe had been living with at the Gin Gin house. The couple's neighbour, Shari Loughland, said Pheobe had only been living there 'for a few weeks, up to a month or two'. Living next door to the couple had become 'horrible' because it was cluttered with rubbish and there had been noise from parties and a howling dog, Ms Loughland said. A stomach-churning stench surrounded the home and Ms Loughland said the remains of up to 11 dead dogs had been found at the property during police inquiries. Daily Mail Australia also revealed Bromley was on bail and facing unrelated charges for possessing a sawn-off shotgun and a flick knife in public. She had been charged back on February 24 after police allegedly discovered the weapons on her on the Capricorn Highway in Emerald, Queensland. Friday May 23 Pheobe's despairing mum made an impassioned plea for the teen to get in touch. 'As each day goes by, it gets harder to breathe. I feel numb, not knowing where you are or if you're okay,' Ms Johnson said. The police search has now expanded into new rural areas for any trace of the teenager, and called in divers to search local waterways. Detective Acting Inspector Ryan Thompson confirmed that officers are focusing on various locations for any signs that could lead to Pheobe's whereabouts. 'We are searching for any evidence or information that could help us find Pheobe,' Detective Thompson said. Saturday May 24 Police and SES volunteers began conducting a land, water and aerial search of the Good Night Scrub National Park, 40 minutes south of Gin Gin. Pheobe's final posts to social media before she disappeared were revealed and suggested the teen had fallen out with her mother, and would not return home. Ms Johnson addressed her daughter directly in a post on Facebook, which also featured a child's drawing of a rainbow and the words 'thinking of you'. 'Phee Phee we won't stop looking for you 'til your home. I urge everyone in Gin Gin to keep their porch lights on tonight and guide our girl home,' she wrote. Sunday May 25 The seach for Pheobe took a dark twist as detectives brought in cadaver dogs in their search of the scrubland park. A former friend revealed she had cut off all contact with one of Pheobe's housemates in recent months over his behaviour. Monday May 26 Detectives said they had recovered items potentially linked to their investigation - but they also believed some evidence may have been moved from the park before they arrived. Police also revealed Bromley had been charged with further unrelated weapons offences, after they allegedly found a shortened firearm, replica handguns and ammunition during their search of the Hyundai. The 33-year-old had been arrested at Milbank the day before and spent a night in jail before she appeared in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Monday. During the appearance, Magistrate John McInnes told Bromley she appeared to have an 'unhealthy interest in in short firearms'. But he added that she was a victim of domestic violence and 'I suspect you might not be the prime mover here'. Bromley was granted bail with strict conditions, including that she not see Wood, and that she check in at the Gin Gin police station three days a week. Tuesday May 27 Bromley's Hyundai was released by police and was spotted in Bundaberg, sporting a makeshift fake rego plate and the Hyundai logo altered to look like a Toyota symbol. Using tape, white paint and a permanent marker, the numbers of the car's Queensland registration 414-EW3 had been tweaked to be a fake NSW plate 474 BW8. Wednesday May 28 Police suspended their search of Good Night Scrub National park, but said their probe was ongoing and they remained focused on the greater Gin Gin area. Bromley also visited the local police station as part of her bail conditions, trying to hide her face and shunning questions from reporters. That night, police confirmed that Wood had also been charged with unrelated weapons offences over the guns allegedly found in the Hyundai when they searched it. Thursday May 29 Daily Mail Australia witnessed Wood being confronted by an irate local as he slept in the driver's seat of his car under a tree in a local park. Wood appeared to have been living in the Hyundai since police released it to him. 'He's here, he's hiding here,' the local yelled, prodding the 34-year-old with a beach umbrella before he sped away. His bizarre public appearance came as Pheobe had been missing for two weeks, and a bitter rift erupted among members of the teen's family. Pheobe's mother Kylie and her sister Kaylea hit back at her aunt who went on TV to share disturbing texts from the missing teen, and blasted her claims about the youngster's upbringing. Caz Johnson - sister of Pheobe's mum Kylie Johnson - made her allegations about the 17-year-old's tumultuous family life on Network Ten's The Project on Wednesday night. Her aunt revealed Pheobe sent text messages out of the blue on April 26 to say her mother had told her to 'get out', but didn't want to talk about the matter as it was 'a long story'. 'I'm flying the f*** out of here to see my boyfriend,' she wrote, in texts shown on Ten. 'If it goes to plan I'm not coming back. I can't do s*** anymore. I need to get out of this hell hole.' Caz claimed Pheobe had an unsettled childhood, regularly changing schools and having to deal with new stepdads coming in and out of her life. But Pheobe's mother reacted immediately on social media after The Project segment aired, saying her sister knew 'nothing' about her daughter. Saturday May 31 Daily Mail Australia revealed that Bromley was once good mates with Pheobe's mum Kylie and even worked for her NDIS support company. Friends said the pair fell out, with Ms Johnson making Bromley redundant from her role at Smileys Support Coordination last year. On the unrelated weapons charges, Wood is due to appear in Bundaberg Magistrates Court on June 13, while Bromley is due to appear on June 23. Pheobe's grief-stricken mother admitted the 'worst case-scenario could have happened' in a harrowing video released by Queensland Police. She begged the public to share any information about her disappearance with police as Kylie Johnson's voice wavered in front of the camera. 'This investigation will not be over for me until we find Pheobe,' she said. The search for Pheobe goes on.I still hold hope that Pheobe will come home but I have to consider the possibility that she also won't. 'If the worst-case scenario has happened, I at least need to know where she's resting. I need to know where Pheobe is. 'My daughter wouldn't just disappear. Someone knows something. 'As a mum, I'm asking you to come forward with your information. 'Please speak to police if you have any information, big or small. You can report information to police anonymously, via PoliceLink or CrimeStoppers.' The search for Pheobe goes on.
