THE family of a teen girl who went missing after meeting her ex frantically called police, only to be told her body had been dumped in a bush.

The young woman, who has not been named, went to visit her ex, 19, at a carpark in Brisbane, Australia, at 4.30pm on Saturday.

When the 18-year-old failed to return home by 7pm, her distressed family alerted Queensland Police.

Cops arrested the girl's ex in a neighbouring suburb an hour-and-a-half later.

The suspect was found at a service station in Nambour, some 50 miles from where he reportedly met with the young woman.

Her body was discovered at 3am on Sunday under a mile away from the service station.
