Missing Teen's Housemate Arrested as Search Called Off in Australia

A 17-year-old girl, Phoebe, went missing in Gin Gin, Australia, on May 15th after missing a flight to see her boyfriend in Western Australia. Police have since ceased the physical search for her, focusing instead on a housemate, James Wood, who is in custody for questioning. "Some items were found and sent for testing, but no details have been released," a police spokesperson stated. The five-day search in Goodnight Scrub National Park concluded without finding Phoebe, raising concerns that evidence may have been tampered with before the search began. The investigation is ongoing, and Queensland police plan to interview Phoebe's boyfriend in Western Australia.
