The mum of Pheobe Bishop, who vanished without a trace after failing to board a flight, has shared the one question her young son asked as the search for his missing sister continues.
The 17-year-old was last seen on May 15 leaving a home in Gin Gin near Bundaberg where she had been living with couple Tanika Bromley and James Wood.
Detectives believe the pair drove Pheobe the 40 minutes to Bundaberg Airport where she was supposed to board an 8.30am flight Brisbane and then onto Perth where she planned to meet up with her boyfriend.
Two crime scenes were declared including the property in Gin Gin and the silver Hyundai ix35, which allegedly was used to drop the teenager off at the airport.
Queensland police have searched bushland at the Good Night Scrub National Park, about an a hour away from where she was last seen, for the last two days and had cadaver dogs at the scene on Sunday.
On Monday, Pheobe’s mother, Kylie Johnson, shared an emotional message on Facebook as the search for her missing daughter entered day 11.
Ms Johnson said life as living a ‘heavy hell’ and explained the teen’s disappearance was taking a toll on everyone with her son asking why his sister won’t return his calls.
‘Not knowing what to say, what to do or even how to continue to live in this cyclone of uncertainty,’ Ms Johnson wrote.

‘The tears come, the anger and frustrations come and most of all our hearts are shattering more and more each day.
‘Your little man/brother asked yesterday “Why won’t Phee take our calls? She always takes our calls!”
‘Mate I wish I knew but we have to believe that the police and the lights that our amazing community are leaving on will going to bring her home to us.’
More to come…
