The housemate of missing teenager Pheobe Bishop once starred in a shocking documentary where he proudly displayed his pickup truck decked out with blood and knives.
James Wood, who lived with the 17-year-old Queensland teen before she disappeared 10 days ago, appeared in a 10-minute film called Bad Company, ahead of the Calliope Ute Muster in 2017 - a popular festival in Australia featuring pickup trucks.
Bishop was last seen on May 15, leaving a rundown home in Gin Gin near Bundaberg where she had been living with Wood and his partner Tanika Bromley.
The short documentary, still available on Charles Sturt University website, showcases Wood's heavily modified truck, complete with a fake blood-splattered tray and a menacing array of knives as part of his competition entry.
At the front of the vehicle, a bonnet sign reads: 'Such is Life', the infamous last words attributed to Australian bushranger Ned Kelly. Another sign chillingly warns: 'Beware of gun owner!'.
