Pheobe Bishop’s mum reacts after police find human remains in Good Night Scrub National Park near Gin Gin

Pheobe Bishop’s mother has spoken of her heartbreak after police reportedly found the remains of the 17-year-old, following a search of an area near Good Night Scrub National Park near Gin Gin.

Pheobe had been missing for three weeks.

Queensland Police charged James Wood, 34, and Tamika Bromley, 33, with one count each of murder and two counts each of interfering with a corpse.

Kylie Johnson said the news was “ripping me apart” in a post on Facebook.

“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 wrote on Friday after remains of a body had been discovered.

Pheobe’s disappearance has gripped Australia for more than three weeks and made headlines around the world as police combed bushland and appealed to the public for help to find her.

Mr Wood and Ms Bromley were living with Pheobe in a rundown, garbage-strewn house in the small Queensland town of Gin Gin when she vanished.

The pair claimed they dropped her to Bundaberg airport in their grey Hyundai ix35 before she vanished on May 15. But police say CCTV at the airport proved she never made it.

On May 21, police declared the teenager’s disappearance as suspicious. Her home and the car she drove in with her two housemates were both declared crime scenes.

On Wednesday this week, police announced they were calling off the “physical search” for Pheobe. They later arrested Mr Wood before releasing him without charge.

On Thursday, police charged both Mr Wood and Mr Bromley. They both received mentions in Bundaberg Magistrates Court before being remanded to reappear on August 11.

At 2.30pm on Friday, officers discovered what they believe is Pheobe’s body.

A vigil will be held for the 17-year-old on Sunday afternoon at Kolan Community Park in Gin Gin.
