Missing Aussie Teen: Roommate Detained, Search Suspended

Australian Teen Vanishes After Airport Trip: Roommate in Custody Queensland, Australia – A three-week search is underway for 17-year-old Phoebe Bishop, who disappeared after a trip to the airport. Police have taken her roommate, James Wood, into custody, though no charges have been filed. Bishop's disappearance has sparked widespread concern. Bishop, from the Wide Bay region, was last seen on May 15th. She was heading to Western Australia to visit her boyfriend. Wood, who gave her a ride to the airport, told police an argument occurred before Bishop disappeared. "They pulled the car over to give the teenager some space to collect herself following a wave of heightened emotions," a source close to the investigation stated. Adding to the mystery, neither Bishop's phone nor her bank accounts have shown any activity since her disappearance. The lack of digital footprint has hampered the investigation. "We are appealing to anyone with information to come forward," said a Queensland Police spokesperson. "Even the smallest detail could be crucial in helping us find Phoebe." The intense police search has been temporarily suspended. The community is rallying to support Bishop's family and friends, holding vigils and spreading awareness through social media. The hope remains that Phoebe will be found safe and returned to her loved ones.
