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.

Missing teen's mum hits back at online trolls
The mother of missing teenager Phoebe Bishop has hit back at vile social media comments, following an appeal to the public alongside police to help find her daughter. Kylie Johnson appeared in a video appeal urging anyone who had seen a grey Hyundai ix35 - which her daughter Pheobe was reportedly travelling in before she disappeared - to contact police. But after vile comments began appearing on the video, Ms Johnson took matters into her own hands. In a post on her Facebook account, she hit back at the trolls who were attacking her tone and demeanour. '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!,' she posted on Saturday. Ms Johnson's daughter, 17-year-old Phoebe Bishop, has been missing since May 15, when the teenager failed to board a flight at Bundaberg Airport. After searching bushland in the regional Queensland city, police put out a video statement read by Ms Johnson over the weekend, where the mother pleads for information. After the police statement was published online, commenters began to criticise the way Ms Johnson spoke and her demeanour. 'People wanted a statement, they got one yet still question me as a mother?,' Ms Johnson posted afterwards. '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' she said, defending herself. '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.' Ms Johnson has posted daily about the search for Phoebe, and acknowledges she has left her social media accounts open to the public to maintain awareness of her missing daughter, despite rife and derogatory comments from members of the public. 'My posts aren't public to defend myself or react to negative comments. In fact negative comments also draw conversations and that's what we as a family need to bring Phee home,' she posted last week. 'Hell I will take any conversation if it has my baby walking down our driveway or calling any of us. 'So please don't be mad at the trolls. They have a role to play just like the amazing people who honestly just want our Phoebe home.' Phoebe was last seen on May 15, travelling toward Bundaberg Airport. Her housemates told police they drove Phoebe to the airport in a grey Hyundai ix35 for her 8.30am flight. But Phoebe did not enter the airport. Police have searched their house and charged the flatmates with unrelated weapon possession charges.

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.
