Pheobe Bishop: Squalid Queensland home where murdered teen lived with alleged killer housemates sold

The squalid house where murdered teenager Pheobe Bishop lived with her alleged killers, littered with clothing, rubbish and the faeces of multiple dogs, has been sold.

The body of the missing 17-year-old was found in the Good Night Scrub National Park in Queensland, approximately 40km from Gin Gin, where Pheobe was living with James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33.

Mr Wood and Ms Bromley were charged with her murder on June 6, three weeks after Pheobe failed to board a flight at Bundaberg Airport.

According to property records obtained by the Daily Mail, the three-bedroom home was sold on June 13 for $360,000, significantly below Gin Gin’s median house price of $460,000.

Despite the discount, landlords Jacob and Milena Otto still reportedly made a $200,000 profit, having purchased the property for $160,000 in 2018.

The house had been the focus of an intense police investigation for several weeks as authorities searched for clues in Phoebe’s disappearance. What they uncovered was deeply disturbing.

The Ottos allowed 7NEWS cameras inside the property, revealing the extensive damage: patched-up holes in doors and walls, broken locks, and piles of rubbish.

The landlords said none of the damage existed before Mr Wood and Ms Bromley moved in.

Footage also showed what appears to be gel blasters - legal in Queensland - leaning against a bedroom wall.

Ms Bromley had been renting the home for $550 a week since December 2024.

According to the landlords, she had already been issued a notice to leave after failing an inspection.

The couple said they had known her for years and initially believed she was a reliable tenant.

But the state of the home told a different story.

The home used to be a place of peace and joy, the Ottos said in June when the house was handed back to them once it was no longer declared a crime scene.

“The air tastes dirty, and it smells just... I don’t know how people can be breathing in this,” the landlord told 7NEWS.

“A rubbish dump’s probably cleaner.

“I just can’t understand how someone can live in conditions like this.

“It’s overwhelming what you see. Where do you even begin? What do you do?”

The landlords estimated it would cost between $10,000 and $15,000 to clean and repair the home. They even launched a GoFundMe to help cover the costs, citing insurance excess, extensive repairs, and the sheer volume of waste left behind.

They raised $2,275.

Pheobe, who was last seen alive on May 15, had been missing for weeks when Queensland Police discovered a body on June 6.

She was meant to fly from Bundaberg, Queensland, to Western Australia to see her boyfriend. However, she never made it to the departure terminal.

Mr Wood and Ms Bromley have been charged with murder and interfering with a corpse, as police allege Pheobe’s body was moved several times after her alleged murder.

They are being held in custody and are due to return to court in August.

Detectives also charged a third person in relation to the alleged murder, Kieran Daniel Mittelhauser.

Police allege the 30-year-old was an accessory after the fact to the murder and had interfered with the investigation by using Pheobe’s phone.
