Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE desperate search for missing teenager Phoebe Bishop, 17, has taken a grim turn as it enters its tenth day. The Australian teen was supposed to board a flight on May 15 to see her boyfriend - but mysteriously she never checked in and hasn't been seen since. 10 The search for missing teen Phoebe Bishop has taken a grim turn Credit: Facebook 10 Homicide unit officers have been called in to help in the search Credit: 9 News 10 She was last seen being driven to the airport by James Wood and Tanika Bromley Credit: 9 News She was last seen in the morning of the day of her flight, after she was driven to the airport by her two housemates, James Wood and Tanika Bromley. The trio had been living in a derelict pad together, which cops have now declared a crime scene. Her distressed mum, Kylie Johnson, has made a series of heartbreaking pleas begging anyone with information to come forward. She also claimed that her daughter's sudden disappearance was out of character. READ MORE WORLD NEWS FIND PHOEBE Girl, 17, missing for 9 DAYS after never boarding flight to meet boyfriend Police have launched an extensive search effort - but they have failed to locate Phoebe or any of her belongings. And to make matters worse, homicide unit officers have now been brought in to aid the rescue mission. Police dogs have also joined the search for the missing teen. It comes after the car she was brought to the airport in - a grey Hyundai ix35 - was seized by police. Bromley and Wood, who are said to be in a relationship, were questioned and have since been cooperating with police. But this was all whilst officers made a series of bizarre discoveries surrounding the pairs' property. Jay Slater investigator claims he has 'audio recording' key to disappearance & claims Spanish cops ignored evidence Firstly, they revealed that there were four dead dogs found in the house. Secondly, they noted the horrific stench emanating from the house. And they also found a strange derelict bus parked outside their property with the words "Let it ride" written on it. In another shocking twist, it was revealed that Bromley is currently facing unrelated charges for possessing a sawn-off shotgun, as well as a flick knife in public. Despite these findings, cops have emphasised that there is no suggestion that either Bromley or Wood are involved in the teen's disappearance. Specialist firefighters, SES crews, and police have been searching remote dirt tracks near Good Night. They have also deployed drones to scan dense scrub and creek beds. 10 Phoebe was staying with Bromley and Wood at their derelict home Credit: 9 News 10 She made a mysterious last call to her boyfriend moments before she was supposed to fly Credit: Facebook 10 Her last known whereabouts were recorded on May 15 at around 8:30am Credit: Facebook Bundaberg's child protection and crime teams have been leading the search, and they have now called on homicide officers to aid the efforts. Queensland Police detective Ryan Thompson confirmed that the search had been expanded to cover a wider area. He also said police have spoken to numerous individuals connected to the case. This has been providing them with a significant amount of information, according to the detective. He said: 'Obviously as time goes by, police have greater concerns as to her disappearance. 'There's no specific persons of interest. 'However, police are following up all avenues of inquiry.' Phoebe Bishop timeline by Harvey Geh May 14: Pheobe Bishop's last known bank transaction occurs. May 15: Pheobe is reportedly dropped off near Bundaberg Airport's terminal by her housemates, James Wood and Tanika Bromley, intending to catch a flight to Brisbane and then to Perth to visit her boyfriend. May 15, 8:30am: Pheobe makes a final phone call to her boyfriend before her scheduled flight. Her phone is then switched off and has remained inactive since. May 15, post-8:30am: Pheobe fails to check in for her flight. CCTV footage confirms she did not enter the airport terminal. May 16: Family and police initiate search efforts. Pheobe's social media accounts show no activity during this period. May 24: Nine days after disappearing, Phoebe's distressed mum pleads the public for information. She says she is "absolutely begging anyone with any information to contact the Queensland Police Service". May 25: The search effort is widened to cover more area and homicide officers are brought in to help. Pheobe was last seen around 8.30am on May 15 near Airport Drive in Bundaberg. She was supposed to board a flight to Brisbane, and then to Perth to see her childhood sweetheart boyfriend. The teen had reportedly been saving for months to buy a ticket there. The house she was staying at is a decrepit property in Gin Gin, around 40 minutes west of Bundaberg. Her last bank activity was recorded a day before her disappearance. And shockingly, she has made no social media posts since she vanished. A family member revealed that her phone had been switched off since a mysterious call to her boyfriend just moments before she was supposed to fly. 10 The 17-year-old has been missing for 10 days Credit: Facebook 10 The search has been extended to cover a larger area Credit: 9 News The 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. "Her phone has been switched off from this point. She hasn't contacted anyone at all, no one has seen her." After reviewing Pheobe's recent social media activity, police have gathered that the teen had been been 'in and out' of home for several years. Contact with her mum was also not very frequent. On Friday, Pheobe's mother released a heartfelt plea to the public: But her heartbroken mum pleaded on Friday: 'It's getting harder to breathe, and the numbness that we feel at the not knowing is eating at us. 'I would do anything just to hear your voice... to have you curl up in my lap and hold you tight.' 10 Phoebe had a complicated relationship with her mum, who she was not living with at the time of her disappearance Credit: Facebook

Brit tourist, 42, ‘nearly burnt alive' in five-star Egypt resort after electric shock ran through his teeth fillings
A BRIT holidaymaker was "nearly burnt alive" in his hotel room in Egypt when an electric shock zapped through his fillings. Steve Ellis, 42, was on a ten night getaway at the Coral Sea Imperial Sensatori hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, when he was jolted so hard he flew out of bed, he said. 4 Steve Ellis claims he was 'nearly burned alive' by an electric shock Credit: SWNS 4 The Brit had been on holiday in an Egypt resort Credit: SWNS 4 The shock was allegedly caused by a loose wire on the bedside lamp cable Credit: SWNS The unsuspecting tourist put his hand on the bed-side light and was violently "thrown to the floor". He says that he was electrocuted for for around 15 seconds, and has been told by doctors that he "nearly burnt alive". The current apparently ran through his teeth fillings, leaving him with a ring-shaped burn. Steve said: "I've got fillings in my mouth so the electric was going up there - it burnt my mouth. READ MORE IN WORLD NEWS "If I wasn't able to get myself off the lamp, then I would have burnt alive. I'm pretty lucky. "A child could have touched the lamp and then they wouldn't have been so lucky." Steve says that he was getting out bed when he touched the bedside light with his left hand, which delivered the shock. His left hand got stuck to the light, so he tried to push it away with his right hand - but that got stuck as well. Most read in The Sun Steve, a dad-of-one, was then flung onto the floor and forced to shout for help as he was alone in the room. He was checked over by the hotel's doctor and visited the holiday rep, who he says "wasn't that bothered" by the incident. Shocking moment Brit tourists in Thai 'Sin City' fight locals in road rage brawl Steve, of Gloucester, said: "We said we wanted to make a report and he questioned it. "He turned to my partner and wanted her to lie and say that she saw the incident, when she didn't. "I turned to him and nearly walked out - they said it would look better for the paperwork if we lied. "I wasn't going to lie on a document because that could come back to us." 4 Steve was staying at the Coral Sea Imperial Sensatori hotel when he was allegedly zapped Credit: Steve says that he didn't use the lamp before the incident but later noticed that there were wires sticking out of it. He said: "There were wires sticking out of the lamp. "But you wouldn't have noticed it until it happened." Straight after the incident, which happened in January this year, Steve was left with a ring-shaped burn around his mouth. He also had blood tests and an electrocardiogram (ECG) scan to check the electrical activity of his heart. Steve says that his hands "feel like they are burning and tingling" constantly, so he is struggling to work as a kitchen fitter. He said: "My hands feel like they are burning and tingling every day. "My shoulder is in agony hurts when I lift things as well. "I get half-way through the day and I'm in so much pain. "I'm losing money because I'm having to come home early or have days off."
