The grim way forensic investigators plan to officially identify remains believed to belong to Pheobe Bishop
Pheobe Bishop's family have revealed the confronting way police intend to officially identity remains discovered in the search for the 17-year-old. Officers discovered what were believed to be the teenager's remains near Goodnight Scrub National Park on Friday. Pheobe, 17, went missing near Queensland 's Bundaberg Airport about 8.30am on May 15 after booking a trip to WA. Pheobe's housemates, James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, fronted Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday accused of her murder, three weeks to the day after she missed a flight and vanished. Police allege they moved her body more than once. New details have now been revealed regarding Pheobe's alleged murder. It's alleged Bromley and Wood interfered with a corpse on May 15 and again two days later when Pheobe's body is said to have been moved to Good Night Scrub National Park. A family member told The Courier Mail they 'just knew' it was her despite police yet to officially confirm the DNA results. They said detectives were investigating a match of hair colour and clothing to the teenager's. Court documents suggest the 17-year-old was killed on Airport Drive in Kensington where she was last seen carrying her luggage, which police have yet to find. Woods remains in custody at Maryborough Correctional Centre while Bromley is currently at Brisbane Women's Correctional Centre. James Wood and his partner Tanika Bromley have both been charged with Pheobe's murder and interfering with a corpse after she was said to have been moved more than once The matters have been adjourned until August, with neither entering pleas. Pheobe's sister Kaylea Bishop, 18, sat in the far corner of the front row of Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday, dressed in black with her eyes red, as the case was heard. She stared straight ahead, flanked by friends, family and a court security guard as details of the murder charges against the couple were read out. Neither Wood nor Bromley appeared in person or by video link for the hearing. On Sunday, hundreds attended a moving candelight vigil at Kola Community Park in Gin Gin, with mourners wearing bright colours and butterflies. Kaylea and mum Kylie Johnson were among those who gave emotional speeches in honour of the murdered teenager. 'Obviously, I didn't write a speech, but, um... Pheobe! 17 years was never enough for your life,' she said. 'But in the short 17 years that she was with us, God, she gave us a run for our bloody money... She was cutthroat person, but she saw the good in everyone. 'If she had a opinion about you, you were sure to find out about it, whether you liked it or not. That's just the way Pheobe was, but she was loyal to the core. 'She loved, respected, and valued her life.' Kaylea thanked all those who attended the candlelight vigil before being left unable to continue as she burst into tears. At the end of the vigil, the 18-year-old, dedicated a One Republic song to the teen and said, 'Please stand up and dance, because you know that's what this b****h (Pheobe) would do!' The family immediately broke out dancing and cheering in a moment those in attendance described as incredibly emotional. In a powerful tribute, Pheobe's mum Kylie bravely urged the Gin Gin community to 'respect' Bromley's family following the charges against her. Kylie also read out two poems in memory of her 'gypsy warrior' daughter as she shared how Pheobe 'always sung her own tune' and 'lived to the fullest'. The grieving mother told mourners her daughter loved those she cared about 'to every extent of the earth'.
