Police charge a man and a woman with murder after human remains are found south of Brisbane during an investigation into a missing person. The charges relate to the disappearance of a 46-year-old man reported missing in March 2022.
Multiple outlets report police execute a search as part of investigations that have been underway for more than four years. The Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times, and The Age state police believe the remains are those of a man from Beenleigh, south of Brisbane, who went missing in 2022. ABC and The West Australian describe the case as building from the March 2022 disappearance and leading to a later search that produces the remains.
Outlets broadly align on the core timeline: the initial missing-person report in March 2022, the prolonged investigation, and the discovery of remains that triggers the murder charges. One report also names the missing man as Chad Bishop, 46; other outlets do not include the name in the provided text.
