Police have found suspected human remains in the search for missing Bundaberg teenager Pheobe Bishop. 

The remains were found during a search of an area near Good Night Scrub National Park, less than an hour away from Gin Gin, about 2.30pm today.

They have yet to be formally identified, with forensic examinations ongoing, but police are in contact with Pheobe’s family, and believe they are those of the 17-year-old.

Pheobe’s mum, Kylie Johnson, said she did not think her heart could break anymore after receiving the news.

“I didn’t think my heart could break anymore than it did when you went missing, or when the charges were laid, but this, this is ripping me apart,” she said tonight.

A crime scene has been declared at the site.

Police said the brief search and subsequent discovery came after “further enquiries and investigations today”.

Pheobe’s housemates, 34-year-old James Wood and his partner, 33-year-old Tanika Bromley, were charged with one count of murder and two counts each of interfering with a corpse after they were arrested in Bundaberg last night.

Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield told reporters earlier today that Wood and Bromley are alleged to have killed Pheobe and moved her body more than once. 

One of the locations is believed to be the Good Night Scrub National Park, which has been a focus of the investigation.

Mansfield said he expected to find further evidence when Pheobe’s body was found. 

Two other crime scenes have been declared — the home in Gin Gin where Pheobe lived with Wood and Bromley, and her housemate’s grey Hyundai.

Pheobe was meant to fly from Bundaberg Airport to visit her boyfriend in Western Australia but, according to police, she never checked in for her flight or entered the terminal.

Police continue to appeal for any information about Pheobe or the movement of her housemate’s grey Hyundai IX35 with registration 414EW3 between May 15 to 18 in the greater Gin Gin area.

Investigations are ongoing as Wood and Bromley remain before the courts.
