Junk cleared, house cleaned, new paint: Shock update on former Gin Gin house of horrors Phoebe Bishop stayed in

Slain teen Pheobe Bishop was living in this dilapidated, squalid house with her housemates at the time of her disappearance. Now, a shock update has emerged.

The filthy house where allegedly slain teen Pheobe Bishop lived with her housemates – who are now charged with the teen’s murder – has been completely cleaned and revamped.

Tanika Bromley, 33, and her partner James Wood, 34, were renting the three-bedroom home in Gin Gin home at the time of Pheobe’s disappearance in May.

The squalid property was among several crime scenes declared during the police probe into the 17-year-old’s disappearance, after she failed to check into a flight bound for Brisbane.

In early June, despite no-one living in the house, the front lawn was still strewn with rubbish.

A bus parked outside the home, carrying a crudely-drawn sign saying “Let it Ride”, was piled up to the roof with junk, along with a small dinghy.

But recent pictures have captured the extent of the clean-up work done on the house, just weeks after both Ms Bromley and Mr Wood faced court charged with Pheobe’s murder.

Rubbish from the yard has been completely cleared away and the exterior facade of the house appears to show a fresh coat of paint.

Repairs have also been carried out to the balcony exterior.

The boat and bus once parked out the front have also been towed away, and the lawn has been freshly mowed.

The pictures are night-and-day compared to the feral state the house was left in, with 7News capturing the extent of rubbish left behind after Ms Bromley and Mr Wood were ordered out of the property during the police investigation.

Dog faeces and trash litter the rooms and holes in the walls and doors were hastily patched by the pair, the landlord told 7News.

“A rubbish dump is probably cleaner,” the landlord told the program.

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

The clean-up effort follows Ms Bromley and Mr Wood being charged with Pheobe’s murder in early June.

They are also facing two counts each of misconduct with a corpse, with police alleging the pair moved Pheobe’s body more than once after her death.

A massive search effort commenced after Pheobe failed to check into her flight from Bundaberg Airport on May 15, where she was due to fly to Brisbane and then onto Western Australia to visit her boyfriend.

Weeks after the search, human remains were discovered in the Good Night Scrub National Park Area, which police later confirmed to be Pheobe’s.

In an added blow, Ms Bromley has been slapped with a banning order by the NDIS, black-listing her from “being involved in providing NDIS supports or services to NDIS funded participants”.

“Specifically, Tanika Bromley is prohibited from providing supports and services, directly or indirectly, to NDIS-funded participants,” the banning order, issued on June 12, states.

The order covers any activities which could be undertaken by NDIS workers and affiliated consultants and auditors and “the provision or management of NDIS supports, services or funding to people with disability in the NDIS”.

It remains in place for six months and covers all Australian states and territories.
