A moving vigil in memory of slain teenager Pheobe Bishop has drawn a crowd of hundreds, with a speech from her charismatic sister urging those attendance to dance.
The community held a candlelight vigil at Kolan Community Park between 4pm and 6pm on Sunday with about 500 mourners wearing bright colours and butterflies. A second candlelight vigil will be held at Buss Park in nearby Bundaberg on Monday from 5pm.
Pheobe, 17, went missing near Queensland's Bundaberg airport about 8.30am on May 15 after booking a trip to WA. On Friday, officers discovered what were believed to be the teenager's remains near Goodnight Scrub National Park.
The find was made in 'unforgiving' terrain southwest of Bundaberg, with investigators aiming to also recover the teenager's missing luggage expected to wind up their efforts on Saturday evening.
Pheobe's housemates, James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, fronted Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday, three weeks to the day after she missed a flight and vanished. Prosecutors allege the pair moved Pheobe's body more than once.
