Human remains found in the Good Night Scrub National Park have been identified as missing Bundaberg teen, Pheobe Bishop.

The remains were found during a search for the 17-year-old on June 6.

They were found on a back road in dense bushland in the national park.

Police suspected they were Pheobe’s remains, but could not confirm until forensic testing was complete.

Homicide detectives confirmed today the remains belonged to Pheobe.

Detectives found the remains just one day after her housemates James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, were charged with the teenager’s murder.

They were charged with one count of murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse.

Previous searches of the park led police to believe that her body had been moved “more than once”, including areas inside the Good Night Scrub National Park.

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

Pheobe had been missing since May 15.

She 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 believe Pheobe was in the Hyundai that drove near the Bundaberg Regional Airport on the day she went missing, but said no one exited the car. 

Police have not yet disclosed a possible motive for the alleged murder, nor have they confirmed a cause of death. 

They also have not confirmed if they found her luggage. 

Police also said today that police are still trying to locate other items of interest in the case. 

Officers are still asking the public for any information relating to the teenager, or the movement of a grey Hyundai IX35 between May 15 to 18 in the greater Gin Gin area.
