Depends if "now" was supposed to apply to both people or just Bill.
If both, I would write it as:
Now Abby was gone and Bill was who-knows-where.
I like the "who-knows-where" and would not reword it if that's the words the author wants, but I do think adding a comma before "now" at the end would make it look too busy.
If the "now" applied only to Bill then I would only add the hyphens:
Abby was gone, and Bill was who-knows-where now.
