page says that in honour of Pheobe’s memory, the proceeds will be donated to support services such as the SES, who “volunteer their time without reimbursement and have played an integral part of finding missing loved ones in our community.”

Funds will also be donated to the Y School in Bundaberg, where Pheobe attended.

“On May 15, 2025, our world was shattered when Pheobe Bishop, a bright, kind-hearted, and deeply loved young woman, was taken from us far too soon. Her life was tragically cut short, and those responsible are now in custody,” a message on the page reads.

“Pheobe had a gentle soul and a generous spirit — always caring for others and standing up for what was right. We want her legacy to live on by paying it forward to the amazing volunteers and community.

“All funds raised will be donated to these carefully chosen community groups that work to support our Wide Bay community.

“This is more than a fundraiser — this is a tribute to a beautiful life, and a call to action to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.”

on Saturday, supporting the decision to give back to the community “in honour of Phee.”

At the time of reporting, almost 100 donations have been made, raising nearly $5000.

The goal is to raise $17,000.

On Saturday, police confirmed human remains were found in the Good Night National Park near **** **** and a crime scene was established.

Wide Bay Burnett Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield said additional testing and examination had to take place to formally identify the remains as Pheobe’s.

“We always wanted to bring Pheobe home, and we believe that this is the first step in that process,” Det-Insp Mansfield said.

“We do hope that this development, coupled with the arrests…will bring some level of closure to Pheobe’s family so they can begin to move forward with their grieving process.”
