The owners of a dilapidated property rented by a couple accused of murdering teenager Pheobe Bishop have found the trashed home littered with dog faeces.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The landlords appeared stunned on Sunday as they inspected the mess left at the house on Milden Street at Gin Gin, in Queensland<\/a>‘s Bundaberg region.<\/p>\n

Pheobe had been living at the premises with James Wood and Tanika Bromley before she disappeared on May 15.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wood and Bromley have since been charged with her murder and two counts each of interfering with her corpse.<\/p>\n

Empty bottles, clothing and rubbish surrounded the property on Sunday with the landlord couple telling Daily Mail Australia it was ‘even worse inside’.<\/p>\n

They claimed the interior was strewn with dog faeces and confirmed that the canines Wood kept on the property had died<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The back porch is also understood to be covered in faeces along with used Covid tests.<\/p>\n

Real estate photos of the home from 2024 and 2016 showed the property had previously been in pristine condition with tidy gardens and clean verandahs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The owners of a dilapidated property rented out by a couple accused of murdering Pheobe Bishop claimed they seemed like ideal tenants and ‘ticked all the boxes’<\/p>\n

The house is now completely unrecognisable compared to the pristine condition seen in the real estate photos<\/p>\n

The young couple have owned the property for several years and only found out about the disgusting state of their house when it made headlines after Pheobe disappeared.<\/p>\n

‘It was a beautiful home,’ they said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple said Wood and Bromley had ‘ticked all the boxes’ as good tenants when they applied for the rental, which is understood to have been listed for $550 a week.<\/p>\n

It’s understood the house was rented in Bromley’s name and she never missed a payment.<\/p>\n

The owners, from far north Queensland, returned to Gin Gin to assess the damage to their property, which was pored over by forensic police following Pheobe’s disappearance.<\/p>\n

The home was declared a crime scene soon after the teenager vanished but was processed and closed late last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We don’t even know where to start,’ the landlords admitted while surveying the garbage-strewn property.<\/p>\n

The male owner told Channel Seven on Saturday: ‘We started a family in this home.’<\/p>\n

The couple hopes to ‘clean it up and make it liveable to get it back on market’.<\/p>\n

Pheobe had moved in with Bromley and Wood in recent months, after troubles at her family home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A local IGA worker told Daily Mail Australia Pheobe would often come in to buy food, but didn’t have enough money.<\/p>\n

‘I would pay the rest so that child could eat,’ she said.<\/p>\n

On May 15, Bromley and Wood drove Pheobe to Bundaberg Airport but she never made it to the terminal.<\/p>\n

Detective Inspector Craig Mansfield said this week that police ‘will allege that three people arrived near to the airport, and that three people never left that vehicle’.<\/p>\n

Human remains were found on Friday deep within the Good Night Scrub National Park, an hour from the Milden Street property.<\/p>\n

The Gin Gin community will hold a vigil in her memory tonight.<\/p>\n
