The disappearance of 17-year-old Pheobe Bishop has led to the arrest and murder charges against her two housemates, James Wood, 34, and Tanika Kristan Bromley, 33, in Bundaberg, Queensland.

The charges, announced late Thursday, come three weeks after Pheobe was last seen on May 15, when she was reported to have booked a flight to Western Australia to visit her boyfriend.

CCTV footage has indicated that Pheobe never made it to the airport terminal, raising concerns over her whereabouts.

A police statement confirmed that her remains have not yet been located, and that detectives are actively continuing their investigation alongside ongoing physical searches as new information becomes available.

In addition to the murder charges, both Wood and Bromley face two counts of interfering with a corpse.

Prior to the recent charges, Wood had been taken into police custody on Wednesday but was released after several hours without facing charges at that time.

The initial search efforts focused on several areas of interest, including a property in Gin Gin, where Pheobe had lived with her housemates.

The Gin Gin property and a grey Hyundai ix35, believed to have been used by the suspects to transport Pheobe to the airport, were promptly declared crime scenes following her disappearance.

Search operations also extended to Good Night Scrub National Park, located approximately one hour from the Bundaberg airport.

Homicide detectives, cadaver dogs, and divers were called to assist in the search, and various items thought to be related to the case were collected for forensic examination.

Evidence suggested that some items may have been moved from the national park prior to the arrival of law enforcement.

Earlier in the investigation, Wood and Bromley had been charged with unrelated weapons offenses.

During this difficult time, Pheobe's mother, Kylie Johnson, has been active on social media, urging anyone with information to come forward.

In one heartfelt Facebook post, Johnson expressed the emotional toll of the situation, stating, "I don't know if life will ever be the same again?

I don't know if I will ever look at the world the same way that I did before May 15th." She emphasized the need for information, encouraging the community to assist in the search for her daughter.

Support for the Bishop family has been significant, with a community initiative dubbed "Leave the Lights On for Pheobe" encouraging local residents to leave their porch lights illuminated in a show of solidarity, symbolizing a hope for Pheobe's return.

Wood and Bromley are scheduled to appear before the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday.
