Third person charged over murder of Pheobe Bishop
Queensland Police have charged a 30-year-old man with two counts of accessory after the fact to murder, alleging he used Pheobe's mobile phone to interfere with investigations.
The man was charged around 7pm on Tuesday in Bundaberg West, one day after family and friends farewelled the 17-year-old at a private service in the south east Queensland town.
Pheobe was last seen near Bundaberg airport about 8.30am on May 15 after booking a trip to Western Australia to see her boyfriend.
Queensland Police allege her housemates, Tanika Bromley and James Wood, drove Pheobe 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.
Phone data led officers to focus their search on the national park before her remains were found on June 6.
Wood, 34, and Bromley, 33, remain behind bars and will face court on August 11, charged with murder and interfering with a corpse.
Six weeks after Pheobe disappeared, family and friends laid the "free-spirited" teen to rest while donning bright colours at a service on Monday.
Multiple candlelit vigils attended by hundreds have been held across Bundaberg and Gin Gin in recent weeks, remembering how Pheobe lived life to the fullest.
The 30-year-old man charged is expected to face the Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

Brisbane news live: Man charged with murder after West End death
Latest posts Pinned post from 7.12am Man charged with murder after West End death By Police have charged a man with murder over the death of a 50-year-old West End resident, who was found with fatal injuries in his home at the weekend. Police were called about 4.30am on Saturday to a Ryan Street apartment, where they found a 50-year-old man unresponsive with critical injuries. The man was treated, but succumbed to his injuries at the scene. Police arrested a 32-year-old Fortitude Valley Man last night — who they suspected was known to the residents of the West End property — and charged him with murder. The 32-year-old was expected to appear before Brisbane Magistrates Court today. 7.06am Weather for the week We should expect some sunnier and slightly warmer weather in the River City for a few days, before a wetter end to the week. In particularly welcome news, the overnight minimum temperatures for Brisbane are expected to stay well within the double digits all week. Here's the seven-day outlook: 7.04am While you were sleeping Here's what's making news further afield this morning: Home and Away star Lynne McGranger has won the Gold Logie for the most popular personality on television, a result that seemed practically ordained from the moment she walked the red carpet in a gold-hued gown. The big winner was the ABC, which won 11 awards – including an astonishing five on the trot for Fisk. By the time Jess Whatman counted extended day care costs on top of petrol, tolls and lunches, she was forking out $400 a week just to get to work. Burnt out and increasingly frustrated at the office mandates, she began exploring a more sustainable career option closer to home. Advertising on computer games and social media platforms such as TikTok has helped drive the biggest surge in Defence Force recruitment in 15 years, a major turnaround that the federal government says has put the military on track to achieve ambitious growth targets. At least 90,000 pro-Palestine protesters walked across Sydney Harbour Bridge and into history through the pelting rain, as a larger crowd than expected used the landmark as a symbol, bringing the city to a standstill and leading police to sound the alarm of a potential crowd crush. And the members of rock band Oasis were 'shocked and saddened' after a man fell to his death during a concert by the band at London's Wembley Stadium.
