Kieren Mittelheuser, the man charged with knowing about accused murderers

Exclusive court documents have revealed Kieren Mittelheuser allegedly knew about the murder of Pheobe Bishop and helped the accused evade justice.

Kieren Daniel Mittelheuser, charged as accessory after the fact in the Pheobe Bishop murder investigation, appeared in Bundaberg Magistrates Court last week.

Exclusive court documents have revealed new information in relation to the Pheobe Bishop murder investigation.

James Wood and Tanika Bromley are each charged with murdering Pheobe Bishop on May 15, 2025, at Bundaberg. They did not enter any pleas.

Last week a third person, Kieren Daniel Mittelheuser, 30, was charged as an accessory after the fact.

Fresh court documents have shown that police allege between May 14 and July 2, at Bundaberg and elsewhere in Queensland, that Mr Wood and Ms Bromley had committed the offence.

Police allege Mittelheuser helped the duo in order to enable them to escape punishment as he applied to use a Commonwealth Bank debit card belonging to Pheobe Bishop on May 15, the day she went missing.

Kieren Daniel Mittelheuser is charged with being an accessory after the fact.

The documents have also revealed that he was found in possession of methamphetamine on May 19 and he is also facing additional charges of fraud and drug possession.  He has not entered any pleas.

He was arrested in central Bundaberg in late June, with footage showing plain clothes detectives stopping him in the street before placing him in handcuffs.

He appeared in Bundaberg Magistrates Court last week, where duty lawyer Michael Zeller, of Indigo Law, told the court the fraud charge was directly related to the accessory charge, involving use of a debit card allegedly belonging to Pheobe.

Mr Mittelheuser did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody.
He is listed as unemployed and living in Norville.
He is scheduled to appear before Bundaberg Magistrates Court on August 25, 2025, via video link.

Pheobe Bishop was reported missing on May 15, 2025, after she failed to board a flight from Bundaberg Airport.
Her remains were found near Goodnight Scrub National Park on June 6 and formally identified on June 17.

Mr Wood and Ms Bromley, both aged in their early 30s, were arrested in early June and also face charges of interfering with a corpse.
The investigation focused on a property in Gin Gin where Pheobe lived, as well as a grey Hyundai ix35 connected to her disappearance.

The community in Bundaberg and Gin Gin has been deeply affected by Pheobe’s death, with a private funeral held on June 30 attended by family and friends.
