Mr Bishop’s family, who have requested privacy during this time, have released a statement as police continue to appeal for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

“Terry Bishop is a 65-year-old retired resident of Hay Point (Mackay) in recent years and a former long-term resident of Northgate (Brisbane),” they said.
