The last thing a Queensland girl posted to social media before she vanished was a haunting conversation with her younger self.

Pheobe Bishop, 17, disappeared on May 15 after she never boarded a flight from Bundaberg to Brisbane.

She was on her way to visit her boyfriend in Western Australia when the alarm was raised, with no activity recorded on her social media and bank accounts since last week.

Police have declared her disappearance as suspicious and set up two crime scenes – the house she was living at in Gin Gin and a Hyundai SUV owned by her flat mates.

Pheobe’s last activity on Tik Tok was May 13 – two days before she vanished.

She often posted and shared videos speaking about relationships, mental health, family, and inspirational messages.

The last thing she posted was a video of a conversation she would like to have with her younger self, saying she had “been in and out” of home for years, how she was “never going back”, and how she was focusing on herself now.

She also shared a video in March saying she wasn’t “built for this town” and those around her weren’t her “people”.

Pheobe’s social media profile describes her as loving music and nature, saying both were her “church” and “religion”.

Pheobe – known affectionately as Flea or Phee – has been described by family as “loyal to the core” who “loves hard”.

One of Pheobe’s family members told The Courier Mail she was a “beautiful little hippie”.

“She was the best – happy, loving – family anyone would want, it’s not right,” they said.

“It’s getting really intense …”

Pheobe went to school at Isis State School near Bundaberg and Gin Gin High School.

It’s understood she was living with two people who were not direct family members before her disappearance.

Pheobe has a boyfriend in Western Australia who she was meant to be visiting on the day she vanished.

She’s also an aunty to a young niece who she adores.

She will turn 18 years old this year.
