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 in Gin Gin 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. Investigators are also trying to recover the teenager's missing luggage but are 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 accused of her murder, three weeks to the day after she missed a flight and vanished. Police alleged they moved her body more than once.
