HARROWING footage has revealed the disgusting conditions teen Pheobe Bishop was living in with her two alleged killer housemates.
Enormous piles of trash, chains, dog toys, and filthy bed sheets littered the appalling home where Pheobe stayed with James Wood and Tanika Bromley.
Wood, 34, and Bromley, 33, were both formally charged with the 17-year-old’s murder earlier this month.
And just a day later, human remains were discovered on June 6 by police after a major three week search for a body.
As investigations continue into Pheobe’s tragic death, the shocking state of her home in Gin Gin has been uncovered.
Australian news outlet 7News managed to get access to the property and revealed the squalor Pheobe was enduring in the weeks before her passing.
Before entering, the landlord can be heard in the video announcing: “I can’t prepare you enough for this.”
In almost every room the floor was impossible to see due to the mounds of rubbish.
Footage shows mountains of half empty soda bottles, unopened packages and full black bin liners in each room.
The furniture was all out of place across the house with the sofas falling apart and the beds stained yellow.
Even dog poo appeared to be on the floors of the old Queenslander-style home.
Due to the horror conditions and poor cleaning, a major issue with the property was the smell.
The landlord added: “The air tastes dirty… I don’t know how people can be breathing this.”
He also revealed the home was officially leased out by Bromley six months ago but she had been given a notice to leave after a recent inspection.
Pheobe, from Gin Gin north of Brisbane, hadn’t been seen or heard from since Thursday, May 15.
Police first arrested Wood as he was the last person to see the teen as he reportedly took her to the airport.
Cops believe during the drive to the airport, Wood, his girlfriend Bromley, and Pheobe all argued over stopping on the trip.
Pheobe wanted to do her makeup in the car as she was on her way to Perth to visit her “high-school sweetheart” boyfriend, Wood said.
The teen got her way in the end as Wood said he pulled over less than a kilometre away from their destination.
He said: “We wanted to give her five minutes, give her her own space to do what she needed to do.”
Wood and Bromley then said they walked off and were away from the car for around five minutes.
When they returned, Wood said Pheobe and her bag were gone.
This was the last time Pheobe was seen as an intense search operation was launched.
On May 26, cops made a harrowing revelation.
They believed evidence of a potential murder had been moved to cover up what had happened.
On this day, a new license plate was discovered to have been suspiciously painted and taped over Bromley’s Hyundai car which drove to the airport.
On June 5, police officially charged the couple with murder and two counts of interfering with a corpse.
Cops allege Wood, Bromley and Pheobe were all in the car when it arrived at Airport Drive near Bundaberg Airport.
They believe that the trio never left the car.
Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield stated: “Our evidence demonstrates that three people arrived near the airport, yet only two emerged from the vehicle.”
The pair continue to say they had nothing to do with Pheobe’s disappearance or death.
Wood and Bromley will appear in court on August 11.
