Missing teen's last known steps as mum slams trolls who ripped into her plea

AS THE SEARCH FOR MISSING PHEOBE BISHOP CONTINUES, THE TEENAGER'S MOTHER HAS HIT BACK AT TROLLS WHO HAVE PICKED APART HER PUBLIC STATEMENT, ASKING THEM TO SHOW HER 'WHAT A PERFECT

PARENT LOOKS LIKE' 14:38, 02 Jun 2025 As the search for missing Australian teen Pheobe Bishop continues, her mother has issued a furious message to trolls who've been busily

picking apart her public plea for information. Speaking previously in a visual statement, Kylie Johnson begged those who'd seen a grey Hyundai ix35 - which the 17-year-old was

reportedly travelling in before she vanished - to get in touch with police. Unfortunately, Kylie's statement ended up being ruthlessly mocked by a number of social media users, some of

whom accused the worried mother of appearing insincere. Others criticised Kylie, who'd issued the plea jointly with Queensland Police, for talking about Pheobe in the past tense. Taking

to Facebook after her statement was scrutinised, Kylie wrote: “People wanted a statement, they got one yet still question me as a mother? 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 continued: "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.” The teen was last seen on May 15, heading toward Bundaberg Airport, after leaving her home

in Gin Gin, Queensland. She never made her flight, and what happened next remains a mystery. READ MORE: Everything we know about missing Pheobe Bishop as shocking new claims revealed

Article continues below She had been due to board a flight to Brisbane and then continue on to Perth, where she planned to meet her boyfriend. Pheobe had been living with a couple, Tanika

Bromley and James Wood, at the time of her disappearance. Shocking new claims about the teen have since been revealed. Police said Pheobe was due to board an 8.30 am flight on the day she

was last seen, and have suggested the couple she lived with drove her to Bundaberg Airport - but it is not known if she was dropped off. It is also not clear why the teen was living with the

pair. They were questioned by police and charged with unrelated weapons offences. Police have not charged any people in relation to Pheobe's disappearance, and it is not suggested that

the couple were involved. Cops have sealed off their house, where the teen had spent recent weeks, as forensic investigators search through the property. Several worrying developments in

the 17-year-old's missing persons case have emerged as this search continues... WORRYING LAST PHONE CALL Pheobe's heartbroken boyfriend, who was meant to meet the teen at Perth

Airport, shared the concerning final call he heard from his girlfriend before she vanished. He said Pheobe rang him while she was being driven to the airport on the morning of May 15. Her

high school sweetheart said he was unable to hear anything on the other end before the call cut off. Despite this, he didn't think anything of it and went to Perth Airport to wait at

the terminal for her, but she did not arrive. Queensland Police are reportedly "quite confident" that Phoebe didn't make it to Bundaberg Airport because she did not check in

for her flight. KEY CCTV FOOTAGE A car similar to the one Pheobe was driven in before she vanished was caught on CCTV after she was meant to be on her flight. A grey Hyundai ix35 was spotted

driving through Gin Gin at 10:30 a.m. on the day she was last seen. Cops have since seized Wood's grey Hyundai ix35 and declared it a crime scene. The couple told detectives they gave

Pheobe a lift to the airport that morning. SHOCK WEAPONS TWIST Police discovered weapons inside Bromley's SUV. Detectives said these gun offences were "unrelated", but they

have not completely ruled out possible links with the disappearance. Bromley had already been on bail for other weapons offences after a sawed-off shotgun and flick knife were found in her

car, back in February. Police confirmed Wood was charged with an unrelated weapon offence on Sunday. Police said: "Police have charged a man with weapons offences, after police

allegedly located a shortened firearm and ammunition during a search of a grey Hyundai ix35 and a Gin Gin home, both of which had been declared crime scenes for an unrelated matter."

WORRYING MESSAGES PHEOBE SENT TO FRIEND In concerning messages sent to a friend days before she vanished, Pheobe admitted that she had "been better." The 17-year-old also told the

pal, who was checking in, about her plans to go to Perth. The teen wrote: "I've been better, but I focus on the good s***. I take of (sic) to WA in three days! Get out of this s**t

home for a bit so that will be good, just packing atm." When asked how long she would be away for, Pheobe wrote: "10 days beautiful x" CONCERNING FAMILY COMMENTS Although it

was not exactly clear why the teen has been living with the couple, social media posts she made before her disappearance suggested Pheobe has fallen out with her mum. Despite this, mum Kylie

Johnson released a statement after her disappearance and said this was out of character for her daughter. She said: "Pheobe would never not touch base with the people she loves. She

would never go this long without contacting someone or anyone." Kylie's sister, and Pheobe's aunt, Caz Johnson, however, hit out at the mum and claimed the 17-year-old sent

messages out of the blue on April 26. The messages from Pheobe said: "Up s*** creek but s*** happens." She added: "I'm flying the f*** out of here to see my

boyfriend...If it goes to plan I'm not coming back. I can't do s*** anymore. I need to get out of this hellhole." _DO YOU HAVE A STORY TO SHARE? EMAIL ME AT
