A 30-year-old man has been charged after allegedly interfering with police investigations into the disappearance and alleged murder of Queensland teenager Pheobe Bishop.
Queensland Police charged the man with two counts of accessory after the fact to murder, alleging he used Bishop’s mobile phone to interfere with investigations.
The man was charged on Tuesday evening in Bundaberg West, one day after family and friends farewelled the 17-year-old at a private service in the south-east Queensland town.
Bishop was last seen near Bundaberg airport at about 8.30am on 15 May. She had booked a trip to Western Australia to see her boyfriend but never boarded the flight.
Queensland Police allege her housemates, Tanika Bromley and James Wood, drove Bishop close to the airport in a grey Hyundai, but no-one left the car.
She was allegedly murdered, and her body was moved more than once from the Good Night Scrub National Park, an hour’s drive from the airport.
Wood, 34, and Bromley, 33, remain behind bars and will face court on 11 August, charged with murder and interfering with a corpse.
Multiple candlelit vigils attended by hundreds have been held across Bundaberg and Gin Gin in recent weeks to honour Bishop’s life.
The 30-year-old man charged is expected to face the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Wednesday.
