A candlelight vigil will be held in Central Queensland today for 17-year-old Phoebe Bishop, who died after going missing from the small town of Gin Gin last month.
On Friday, a crime scene was declared in Bundaberg’s Good Night Scrub National Park, after human remains were located.

Phoebe’s family is now waiting for forensic testing to formally identify her body.
Phoebe’s two housemates, James Wood and Tamika Bromley, have since been charged with her murder.
Yesterday at a vigil in Gin Gin hundreds of people gathered donning bright colours and butterflies in memory of the teen.
She was described as fearlessly protective, wild and curious with Phoebe’s mum Kylie Johnson, and her sister Kayle Bishop sharing tearful tributes.
“Phoeve always sung her own tune, she lived to the fullest, she loved the people she loved to the extent of the earth, and was 200 per cent invested and that’s what we need to hang onto,” Kylie said.
A second candlelight vigil will be held in Bundaberg at 5 PM today.
