The 23-year-old was last seen by his housemate on Lalor Cresent in Sunbury, north-west of Melbourne, at about 9.30pm on May 27. He was reported missing by his mother two days later and a park in Broadmeadows was searched after his phone was tracked there on the same day he was last seen. Nothing was discovered but on Saturday police found a body after they executed a warrent at a home in Erinbank Crescent in Westmeadows on Saturday. A crime scene has been established and a 27-year-old man was arrested. He was expected to be interviewed about the body, which has not been formally identified. Police said the investigation was ongoing and anyone with information was urged to contact Crime Stoppers. Mr Bishop's parents had made a public plea to find their son, with father Travis saying they just wanted him home safe. 'We want him to know we love him, we're here for him,' he said. 'I don't know how people go through this.'

Lowell was once a thriving mining town adjacent to Bisbee but was eventually gobbled by the ravenous abyss of the Lavender Pit. With only a segment of Erie Street left, Lowell could have easily drifted into oblivion. Instead, a group of volunteers restored the little avenue so that it reflected a simpler time. Now Erie Street resembles a Hollywood backlot with vintage gas pumps, antique signs and classic cars highlighting the historic architecture. While much of the Erie Street time capsule is just ornamentation, a few businesses are still functional, including the highly popular Bisbee Breakfast Club restaurant at 75A Erie St. Find the reporter at Or follow him on Facebook at This article originally appeared on Arizona Republic: Best things to do in Bisbee, AZ, from seances to e-bike tours
