A third person charged after the alleged murder of teenager Pheobe Bishop has faced court in Queensland.

Kieren Daniel Mittelheuser is accused of interfering with the investigation.

The 30-year-old allegedly used Bishop’s phone after her disappearance on May 15, in Bundaberg, Queensland, 7News reported.

It is believed Bishop planned to catch a flight from Bundaberg to visit her boyfriend in Western Australia, but she never made it to the airport.

Her body was found in Good Night Scrub National Park weeks later.

Bishop’s housemates James Wood and Tanika Bromley have been charged with murder.

The pair remain in custody.

Bishop’s mum and sister were in court on Monday, wearing “Justice for Pheobe” shirts.

In court, Queensland Police prosecutor Vicki Kennedy-Grill claimed there is a “large” amount of evidence, including 150 exhibits.

She requested more time from the court to finalise the material.

Mittelheuser will remain in custody.

The matter was adjourned until October 13.
