The housemates of missing Australian teenager Pheobe Bishop have been charged with murder three weeks after she disappeared.
James Wood, 34, and Tanika Bromley, 33, were charged on Thursday with one count each of murder and two counts each of interfering with a corpse, Queensland Police said.
Ms Bishop, 17, was last seen on her way to Bundaberg airport in Queensland on 15 May.
Police believe she was supposed to board a flight at 8.30am to Brisbane and then onto Perth to meet with her boyfriend, but CCTV footage showed she did not enter the terminal at the airport.
In a statement, Queensland Police said that her body had not yet been located.
Both Mr Wood and Ms Bromley will appear at Bundaberg Magistrates Court on Friday.
Ms Bishop was last seen on the morning of 15 May when she was being driven to the Bundaberg airport by her housemates.
Footage shared online showed a grey Hyundai ix35 driving along the backstreet of Gin Gin. The car model was allegedly the same as the one Ms Bishop was travelling in on the day of her disappearance, according to the police.
The video was reportedly from two hours after Ms Bishop was dropped to the Bundaberg airport for her flight to Brisbane.
