Police confirm human remains are those of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop
Queensland Police has confirmed human remains found two weeks ago in a national park are those of Pheobe Bishop. The remains of the missing 17-year-old were discovered on 6 June in an area near Good Night Scrub National Park north of Brisbane. "Investigations into locating more items of interest in relation to this matter remain ongoing," Queensland Police said in a statement on Tuesday. "Officers continue to appeal for any information in relation to Pheobe Bishop or the movement of a grey Hyundai IX35 between May 15 to 18 in the greater Gin Gin area."
The development follows the arrest of Pheobe's housemates — James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33. The pair were both charged with one count of murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse, and were remanded in custody. Pheobe's sister, Kaylea Bishop, was surrounded by supporters at Bundaberg Magistrates Court where Wood and Bromley's matter was mentioned on Friday. Pheobe was last seen near Bundaberg airport about 8.30am on 15 May after booking a trip to Western Australia to see her boyfriend. Wood and Bromley were housemates with Pheobe at a Gin Gin property near Bundaberg.
Police allege the pair drove the 17-year-old close to the airport in a grey Hyundai but no one exited the car. Pheobe was allegedly murdered and her body moved more than once from the Good Night Scrub National Park, an hour's drive from the airport. Police had previously searched the park, saying their investigations indicated evidence may have been moved before officers arrived.

Queensland police Detective Inspector Glenn Horan allegedly used police database to track former partner
A high-ranking Queensland detective allegedly used a police database to search an address his then-partner visited, with a prosecutor saying it seemed "unlikely" he did so because he saw something suspicious. Detective Inspector Glenn Horan is facing one charge of using a restricted computer without consent (domestic violence) and pleaded not guilty at the Brisbane Magistrates Court. The prosecution alleges Inspector Horan suspected his then-partner, Senior Constable Celeste Batticciotto, was in a relationship with someone else. Prosecutor Kim Bryson claimed Inspector Horan used the police database QPRIME in October 2021 to find out who lived at the address Senior Constable Batticciotto had been visiting. The address was that of one of Queensland's top cops, now Deputy Commissioner Cameron Harsley, who Senior Constable Batticciotto said was a friend. Six days after the QPRIME search, the senior constable alleges she was at Mr Harsley's home around lunchtime when she saw Inspector Horan outside near the fence line. She said she had been at Mr Harsley's home to discuss buying a house and home loans. "I ran … I ducked and was absolutely terrified," she told the court on Monday. Defence barrister KC Saul Holt rejected the allegations, and said his client told police he searched the address a week earlier as he had been exercising and saw something suspicious. Ms Bryson on Tuesday said the events in question might be considered "too perfectly aligned to simply be remote". "The defendant's concern was so serious that he conducted a search of the address yet took no further action," she said. Senior Constable Batticciotto said when she returned to the house where she lived with Inspector Horan, he was red-faced and angry. "He was fuming, he was slamming things down," she said. The court heard when she told Inspector Horan she saw him at the house he said "I don't know what you're talking about". Senior Constable Batticciotto told the court Inspector Horan believed he would be in trouble as there would be an automatic flag on the senior officer's address in QPRIME on account of his rank. "He told me he would be in trouble and this was my fault," she said. "He said the consequences for me would be bad." Senior Constable Batticciotto said she was a constable of general duties and Inspector Horan was a detective senior sergeant when they met in Cairns in 2012. The pair later moved to Brisbane and Senior Constable Batticciotto alleges by 2021 "things were not good" between them. Senior Constable Batticciotto claimed there was domestic violence in the relationship, which Inspector Horan's representatives denied. Mr Holt said there was no evidence produced that Inspector Horan was not somewhere else on the day Senior Constable Batticciotto claimed she saw him at Mr Harsley's house. Mr Holt said it was not in dispute that Inspector Horan had conducted a check on the property a week earlier after seeing "suspicious activity near the stairs and a suspicious person coming from the house". He argued Inspector Horan was an authorised user of QPRIME and was given a password and a username. Mr Holt said there was no evidence that Inspector Horan knew of any link between Senior Constable Batticciotto and the search address. He said Inspector Horan and Senior Constable Batticciotto's relationship "if not over, was close to being over". Deputy Commissioner Harsley said on Monday he met Senior Constable Batticciotto through work, and she would visit him sometimes on Saturdays at his home. The deputy commissioner told the court he and Senior Constable Batticciotto were sitting on the couch talking when she "reacted quite animatedly" and said that she'd seen Inspector Horan. He said he looked through the back window and saw a man fitting the description of Inspector Horan about 9 or 10 metres away, but he didn't see the person's face. He said he later rang Inspector Horan and asked if he'd been at his house that day. "Glenn said he was on the northside of Brisbane," the deputy commissioner said. The three-day hearing is expected to conclude on Wednesday when a judgement is delivered.

Queensland life coach Wolfgang Raven Wildgrace jailed for years of child sexual abuse, rape
A Queensland man who once touted himself as a life coach and therapist, has been sentenced to almost a decade behind bars for rape and child sexual abuse. One of Wolfgang Raven Wildgrace's claims was that he helped people "manage their emotions effectively". It was this reputation that led him to his involvement with an AFL pre-season camp for the Adelaide Crows in 2018 that became notorious for being "psychologically stressful" and offensive to Indigenous players. But in the years before, he psychologically manipulated two children and sexually abused them. Wildgrace was sentenced to nine-and-a-half years behind bars at the District Court in Cairns today after pleading guilty to a raft of offences. They include two counts of rape, two counts of repeated sexual conduct with a child, and more than 30 counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16. The court heard Wildgrace, now 59, committed the offences over eight years from about late 2009 until 2017. The abuse escalated to occurring on an almost weekly basis, the court heard, with victims made to believe the acts were "sexual training". Wildgrace's former partner Sonya Maria Lindley-Jones, 52, also pleaded guilty to two counts of indecent treatment of a child under 12. Her charges related to an incident in which the couple performed a sex act in the presence of children. A concern was first raised with police in 2015, but the victims did not disclose the abuse when they were questioned. Almost a decade later, in early 2024, Wildgrace disclosed the offending to a friend after learning a report was to be made to police. But after a meeting was called to discuss the offending, he and Lindley-Jones suddenly disappeared from their south-east Queensland home, leaving their bank accounts untouched. The pair was arrested and charged in March last year, having been found in the far north Queensland town of Kuranda. Wildgrace and Lindley-Jones' victims addressed them directly in court, reading out statements in which they detailed how the "twisted sort of therapy" shattered them psychologically. "You knew the moment you met me that I had no-one to look out for me, to protect me," one victim told Wildgrace. Another told the court she needed regular therapy to recover from what she had endured. She said the fact that Wildgrace and Lindley-Jones ran a therapy business themselves had "shattered the trust a person should be able to place in a healthcare professional". Defence counsel Aaron Dunkerton, representing Wildgrace, said his client was sorry, had suffered abuse as a child, and had PTSD symptoms from a siege in the 1990s when he was held hostage by a gunman. From 2011, Wildgrace had been drinking heavily and he had also used cannabis and mushrooms, which caused his sense of reality to "become quite warped", Mr Dunkerton said. Rachelle Logan, acting for Lindley-Jones, said her client was "genuinely remorseful" and had only since understood she was controlled by Wildgrace in their relationship. Neither Wildgrace nor Lindley-Jones had any criminal history. In sentencing, Judge Anthony Rafter SC said the offending was serious and involved a "grave breach of trust". Wildgrace will be eligible for parole at the end of 2028. Lindley-Jones was sentenced to two-and-a-half years' jail, but the remainder of her sentence is suspended, having already served 14 months. She will be subject to three years' probation on release.

Ombudsman criticises ACT Integrity Commission for awarding $150,000 consulting contract to then-CEO
The ACT Ombudsman has criticised the territory's corruption watchdog for awarding a $150,000 consulting contact to its then-CEO, while he was still in the top job. An investigation into the ACT Integrity Commission was sparked when the Ombudsman noticed the contract had been awarded, via the ACT government's Tenders ACT website in 2022, without any declared conflicts of interest. It is the first time Ombudsman Iain Anderson, in his capacity as Inspector of the ACT Integrity Commission, has used his powers to investigate the conduct of the commission or its personnel. The investigation found that while he was still in the role the then-CEO, known as Mr A, had planned to resign before his contract ended, but would stay on at the commission as a consultant, working with the new CEO and Integrity Commissioner. Mr Anderson's report, provided to the ACT Legislative Assembly on Tuesday, found that Mr A had prepared his own documents for the procurement of his consultant contract without declaring a conflict of interest. The report also found Mr A suggested the contract be made exempt from any public competitive process that usually assesses whether a proposal is value for money. The commissioner then copied those pre-prepared documents and failed to declare any apprehension of bias in his decision to engage the then-CEO, or seek independent advice, the report said. "These shortcomings occurred despite the commission being on the record as stating that 'managing conflicts of interest effectively and appropriately is an inherent part of working in the ACT public sector'," the Ombudsman said in his report. "As an integrity agency, in my view it is desirable the commission demonstrates integrity and probity in its procurement practices, otherwise it risks undermining public confidence in the broader systems it is meant to safeguard." The Ombudsman said Mr A was in a position of authority and breached his statutory obligations to avoid, declare, and manage a conflict of interest. "He had a clear personal financial interest with respect to the proposal that he be engaged, which was considered by the commission while he was still the CEO," he said. Mr A did not accept that a conflict of interest declaration was required, but said that if it was, it would rest with the final decision maker, namely the commissioner. The commissioner disputed findings that Mr A had breached his obligations as "completely unjustified", given a conflict of interest disclosure had been declared in writing but was not in the correct form. The commissioner argued that Mr A, who had been responsible for building the commission from its inception in 2019, had arranged to stay on at the watchdog to manage the significant outstanding structural work that would likely remain after his resignation. He said that Mr A's retention was a practical solution to a "difficult and stressful task" because there was no advantage in recruiting an outsider to complete that work until the new CEO could assume complete control. "The criticisms levelled by the inspector about the manner in which the essentially simple management of Mr A['s] departure proceeded represent the triumph of form over substance and a complete disregard for common sense," the commissioner said. At the time, the ACT Integrity Commission did not have a procurement policy in place. Mr Anderson said the investigation had exposed a possible gap in legislation which requires the commissioner to report conflicts of interest to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly and the inspector, when they apply in a strict legal sense. "It may be appropriate for the commissioner to disclose to the speaker and the inspector the management of apprehensions of bias in the same way the commissioner discloses management of conflicts of interests," the report said. The Ombudsman made three recommendations, including engaging independent procurement advice as an integral part of any proposed single select tender process, and developing a procurement policy consistent with ACT government frameworks. Both of those were rejected by the ACT Integrity Commission, which only accepted a recommendation to develop and maintain a register of mandatory staff training to include training on conflicts of interest, bias, and procurement training. The Ombudsman was not required to publish the report into the integrity commission until its annual operational review in October 2025, but said he considered it appropriate to prepare a special report given the public interest issues identified and the rejection of two recommendations made.
