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 same day, a new number 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 said: "Our evidence will outline the fact that three people arrived near to the airport, and three people never exited that 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.

I feel like a fool after finding out about my husband's affair with our daughter's netball coach
I feel violated and humiliated, like our marriage has been built on lies DEAR DEIDRE I feel like a fool after finding out about my husband's affair with our daughter's netball coach Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DEAR DEIDRE: FOR years I'd had a nagging feeling something wasn't right in my relationship, but nothing could have prepared me for the discovery that my husband was having an affair with our daughter's netball coach. I'm 48, and my husband is 49. We've been married for 25 years and have two daughters, aged 18 and 20. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up I was clueless about his betrayal until I was having a clear-out a few weeks ago and discovered an old love letter my daughter's netball coach had written to my husband in his bedside table drawer. It referenced our eldest doing her A-levels so I knew it was around two years old. I was gobsmacked. Back then, I knew something was off. He had become so cold and distracted. He was constantly working late and spending weekends 'running errands' or glued to his phone. I remember asking if there was someone else, but he denied it and made me feel paranoid for even suggesting it. Now I feel like a fool. This coach was in our lives regularly. She knew me well. He claims it was a brief fling and that it ended long ago. He swears he never stopped loving me and that it was the worst mistake of his life. I feel violated and humiliated, like our marriage has been built on lies. I'm not sure I can ever trust him again. Dear Deidre: Cheating and can you get over it DEIDRE SAYS: Finding out about a betrayal like this, especially years later, can knock the wind out of you and make you question everything you thought was true about your relationship. It's normal to experience a storm of emotions, from shock and anger to sadness and confusion. In any relationship, trust is fragile, and once it's broken, it can be hard to know how to rebuild it. Talking openly with your husband about the past and your feelings is important, but only when you feel ready. You will both need an understanding of why he cheated, what was missing from your relationship and what real changes you both need to make to strengthen your marriage. Consider seeking support from a counsellor either alone or together. Organisations such as (0300 100 1234) offer confidential advice. My support pack, Cheating – Can You Get Over It?, will help you.

Send an email to deardeidre@ You can also send a private message on the DearDeidreOfficial Facebook page. LOVING'S NOT SAME SINCE HIS CANCER TREATMENT DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my husband was finally declared cancer-free last year, I thought at last we'd have the chance to reconnect and rebuild our intimacy. But since his treatment ended, he's struggled to get an erection. I'm 54, he's 56, and we've been together for 26 years. His illness and treatment took a toll on us both, but I hoped once he was better, things would improve. Instead, his inability to become aroused has left him withdrawn and distant. It's been months, and I can tell it's affecting his confidence. I want to be supportive, but sometimes I feel rejected and unsure how to help. I love him deeply and just want us to find a way through this together, but I don't know how to start that conversation without making him feel worse. DEIDRE SAYS: It's natural to feel confused and hurt when intimacy doesn't return in the way you hoped. However, erectile difficulties are common after cancer treatment and often affect both partners emotionally. Open, gentle communication is key. Letting your husband know that you're there for him without pressure can help him feel safe to share his feelings. Encourage him to speak with his doctor about treatments or therapies that might help too. I'm also sending you my support pack, Erection Problems?, to help. SO ALONE AND LIFE IS GOING NOWHERE DEAR DEIDRE: NO matter what I do, my life feels like I'm trapped in a never-ending rut, with no friends, no direction, and no escape. I'm a 29-year-old man, and I still live with my parents. I've never been in a relationship and I lost contact with most of my friends years ago when they moved on to bigger and better things. Over the years I've become shy, and my confidence has hit rock bottom, which makes it impossible for me to meet new people. Every day feels the same – I wake up, go to work, come home, and repeat. There's nothing meaningful in my life, and it's getting me down. I have a dead-end job as a warehouse assistant that drains me both physically and mentally. Most days, I feel invisible and completely alone. I want to change but don't know where to start, and the loneliness just feels heavier with each passing day. DEIDRE SAYS: Feeling stuck and lonely can be overwhelming, but it's important to remember you're not alone. Building confidence takes time, so start small. Try new activities or hobbies that interest you, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. This can help you meet people and slowly expand your social circle. If your job drains you, consider exploring other opportunities. I'm sending you my support packs, Feeling Lonely? and Help For Job Hunters. DEVASTATED BY EX'S ABUSE LIES DEAR DEIDRE: FALSE allegations of domestic violence have turned my life turned upside down Even though the police found no evidence and dropped the case, the accusation alone has been enough to ruin my name and reputation. I'm 38, my ex is 34, and for the four years we were together, it's fair to say our relationship was toxic. We argued constantly, and things ended very badly. But I never laid a finger on her. After we split, she was bitter and angry, and while I tried to move on, she made sure I couldn't – by making the worst accusation possible. The police found no evidence to back up her claims, but the damage had already been done. Now everyone at work whispers behind my back, my friends have distanced themselves, and even some of my family seem unsure of what to believe. I've lost my confidence and my reputation, and most days I feel like I'm barely holding it together. How do I move forward when everyone behaves like I was guilty? DEIDRE SAYS: Being falsely accused in this way is devastating, especially when it affects every part of your life. It's understandable that you feel isolated and overwhelmed. It's important you hold on to the fact that the police decided there was no evidence to pursue her accusations. Healing from this will take time, but surrounding yourself with people who believe in you will help. You may also benefit from speaking to a counsellor to process the trauma. The False Allegations Support Organisation ( 03335 779 377) offers confidential support and practical advice to anyone affected by this, including those facing the allegations and their families and friends. Try not to let this define you – the truth is on your side, even if it takes some time for others to see it.

Two killers chased stranger into Tube station and stabbed him with zombie knife
Two young men who chased a stranger into a Tube station and stabbed him to death with a zombie knife in front of horrified commuters are facing a life sentence. Milumo Pedrinho and Kevin Nguyen, both 21, have been convicted of murdering 33-year-old Ervin Baraku, who died after being attacked at Seven Sisters Underground station in north London, on the morning of July 23 last year. Jurors were shown footage of the pair following their victim down the steps before Pedrinho pulled out a foot-long blade with a serrated edge and plunged it into Mr Baraku's chest. Pedrinho previously pleaded guilty to murder and Nguyen was found guilty of the same charge following a two-week trial at Inner London Crown Court. He had denied murder and manslaughter. Michael Williams, prosecuting, told jurors during Nguyen's trial: 'On July 23 last year, the defendant encountered Ervin Baraku on the pavement on Seven Sisters Road. 'Mr Baraku left, repeatedly looking back over his shoulder. The defendant immediately went to the home address of Mr Pedrinho, depositing his puppy and setting off again with Mr Pedrinho armed with a zombie knife. 'Within 12 minutes, Ervin Baraku would be chased into the Underground by these two men and stabbed to the chest with the knife.' Mr Williams told jurors the murder was not 'committed by Mr Pedrinho in isolation' but was carried out 'with the support and encouragement' of Nguyen. The court heard Nguyen spotted Mr Baraku while out walking with a short while before the stabbing. After crossing the road and approaching him, the pair spent around 19 seconds speaking before going their separate ways. Mr Williams said only two people know what was said between them – Mr Baraku, who was dead within minutes of the conversation, and Nguyen, who gave no comment to police and declined to give evidence in his defence. 'We simply do not know what the motive is, or the reason Mr Baraku was murdered,' he said. But he added: 'We say you can safely infer that that interaction with the defendant was intrinsic to Mr Baraku's murder some 10 minutes later.' Nguyen went straight to Pedrinho's home nearby, with the pair quickly setting off again 'intent on violence'. 'We know that Mr Pedrinho had a large knife, and we know that the defendant is no stranger to possessing dangerous weapons himself,' Mr Williams added. Jurors heard Nguyen has two previous convictions for having a knife, in relation to a machete when he was 16 and a Rambo-style knife three years later. Mr Williams said of Nguyen: 'This is an individual accustomed to possessing knives in public, and there would undoubtedly have been a discussion about the weapon to be taken and who would have it.' Further CCTV footage shows the pair walking through the streets with their hoods up. Jurors were told Pedrinho's right hand stays in his pocket where the knife is hidden, 'ready to go at a moment's notice'. The stabbing itself was caught on CCTV footage from inside the station. It shows Mr Baraku falling to the ground where he looks up at Pedrinho chasing behind him with his arms outspread. The court heard witnesses screamed as he pulled out the zombie knife and stabbed Mr Baraku in the chest. Nguyen followed them down the stairs seconds after the fatal blow was struck and quickly fled with the knifeman. His barrister Naeem Mian KC told jurors the prosecution was 'overreaching', adding there was 'no evidence' he knew his friend was carrying a knife. He said the two previous convictions for carrying blades makes him stupid, but not a murderer. However, Mr Williams said: 'He knew what was going to happen, what was intended, and this was part of the plan.' More Trending Detective Superintendent Sam Blackburn said: 'This was an absolutely senseless and tragic attack that resulted in a man losing his life. 'There is absolutely no place for violence on the railway network, so I am glad to see both Nguyen and Pedrinho will be put behind bars for their part in this brutal murder. 'While no prison sentence can ever make up for the loss of a loved one, I hope justice being served can bring Ervin's family some peace after this horrific ordeal.' The killers, both of Tottenham, will be sentenced later. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.
