Search continues for missing teen Pheobe Bishop

The family of Pheobe Bishop has opened up about the “sassy and feisty” teen, as the search for the missing 17-year-old continues.

Ms Bishop was due to fly from Bundaberg to Brisbane and then on to Western Australia to visit a friend on May 15, but failed to board the flight.

The search has since begun to find her, with the homicide squad and police dive squad sent in to help in the investigation, with a local national park now being searched by police.

In a statement titled “Who is Pheobe?” her family describe the young Bundaberg woman as a “sunflower in a field full of wildflowers”, while issuing another plea to the public to report any information to police.

“Who is Pheobe?,” the post read.

“Phee has always been strong willed and followed her own beat to life.

“I’ve always called her my ‘Wild Gypsy Banshee’. I’ve told everyone since Phee’s birth that she’s the one I always expected to call me from overseas saying, “hey Mumzie mate; I’m in Amsterdam and checking in”.

“You can’t tame Phee’s spirit, empathy or fight for life. She is sassy, feisty and loves harder than anyone I’ve ever meet.

“Phee loves beyond comprehension and is loyal to her siblings.

“Phee just loved life; music blaring, she’d say, “come on Mumzie, let’s dance.”

“Hanging with her “boys” even though they all saw her as the little sister to protect.

“Her friends always knew they would get the truth (and then some if she had an opinion).

“Phee is the sunflower in a field full of wildflowers. She is an essential part of our lives and we need her home. We need to hear her music, feel her hugs and hear her voice.

“Pheobe would never not touch base with the people she loves. She would never go this long without contacting someone or anyone.

“We are appealing to anyone who may have heard from Phoebe, or anyone who has information about where she may be, to please contact police.”
