How sad is this case in which a suitcase has been found with the skeleton of a child 2-8 inside.It looks like it is a little girl as clothing has been found in the same suitcase...little dresses and such with animals and Dora the Explorer ect . According to the little forensics they have carried out so far the child died a very violent death.
How awful that a little child can meet a horrible end and is not even reported missing
Apparently a man about 60 was seen weeks ago carting a suitcase and police are now seeking him but many locals had seen the case and some had even gone through it but missed the skeletal remains
just so tragic the whole thing

I've dragged up this old thread, because they have a breakthrough
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-21/break-through-announced-in-wynarka-and-belanglo-cases/6872550
Remains of a child found near a suitcase alongside the Karoonda Highway in South Australia earlier this year have been identified as two-year-old girl Khandaylce Kiara Pearce.
Her mother is Karlie Jade Pearce-Stevenson, whose body was found in Belanglo State Forest in New South Wales in 2010.

That is just so sad. Her mother was only 20.
Both were children IMO

I'm now beginning to think that this may be related to drug couriers between states
RIP Girls - your killer/s will be found.

this from nsw police force facebook:
Police have made a breakthrough in two suspected murder investigations in New South Wales and South Australia, identifying โAngelโ and the โchild in a suitcaseโ as a young mother and her daughter.
NSW Police Force established Strike Force Hixson in August 2010 following the discovery of the skeletal remains of a young woman at Belanglo State Forest.
The unidentified woman was named โAngelโ by detectives as she was located with a t-shirt with a distinct โAngelicโ motif across the front.
South Australia Police established Task Force Malee in July 2015 following the discovery of the skeletal remains of a little girl in a suitcase on Karoona Highway, Wynarka.
The pair has been identified as Karlie Jade Pearce-Stevenson and her daughter, Khandalyce Kiara Pearce, from Alice Springs, Northern Territory.
Karlie was a single mum and had moved away from her family with Khandalyce between 2006 and 2008, intending to travel and work.
Investigators have confirmed Karlie was last seen driving a car with Khandalyce on the Stuart Highway near Cooper Pedy, NT, on Saturday 8 November 2008.
At that time, Karlie was aged 20, and Khandalyce was aged two.
A joint-agency operation, involving Homicide Squads from South Australia, New South Wales, Northern Territory, and ACT Police, has been established.
NSW Police Homicide Commander, Detective Superintendent Mick Willing, said the pair were last seen in late 2008 and reported missing in late 2009.
โKarlieโs mum had reported them missing on 4 September 2009, and it is understood she withdrew the report on 9 October 2009 after she was reassured Karlie was safe and well, but did not want family contact at that time,โ Det Supt Willing said.
โPolice were told Karlie was sporadically in contact with her mother, but the contact became less frequent over time, and sadly, Karlieโs mum has since passed away.
โEven after this time, the extended family believed Karlie and Khandalyce were safe and well living interstate.
โAs you can imagine, the girlsโ family and friends are devastated. They have asked their privacy be respected at this difficult time, while they grieve the loss of two young lives,โ Det Supt Willing said.
SA Police head of Major Crime, Detective Superintendent Des Bray, thanked the community for their support so far with the investigation.
โBoth SA and NSW detectives have had excellent support from the community to help identify Karlie and Khandalyce, including nearly 1300 Crime Stoppers calls for each case,โ Det Supt Bray said.
โIn addition, we have received great support from our law enforcement colleagues across the country and from a number of government agencies in our respective states.
โIt is with everyoneโs assistance we have reached this very important breakthrough, but it is important to note the identification is only the beginning of the investigation,โ Det Supt Bray said.
Det Supt Willing said the NSW and SA Homicide Squads are working closely to complete the picture of Karlieโs life, particularly since the birth of Khandalyce in 2006.
โWe are appealing for assistance from the community to help us identify their friends and associates as they travelled throughout Australia, as well as landlords, motels, caravan parks or campsites where they stayed during this time,โ Det Supt Willing said.
โAnyone who owns or operates these businesses is urged to check their records and help us piece this puzzle together.
โWe have numerous lines of inquiry to follow, and while we will do our best to keep the community informed, we need to first establish fact from fiction and ensure we avoid speculation, which could damage our investigations,โ Det Supt Willing said.
Det Supt Bray echoed the appeal to the community for information, adding that Strike Force Detectives are committed to finding those responsible for the deaths.
โThis is one of the most shocking crimes imaginable; one that has not only devastated a family, but also had a terrible impact on the wider community,โ Det Supt Bray said.
โThose responsible for these horrific crimes remain amongst us in the community, and they must quickly be caught and held to account for their actions.
โWe need assistance from people throughout Australia who may have seen this young mum and her little girl travelling around at any time over the past 10 years,โ Det Supt Gray said.
Police are urging anyone with information in relation to this incident to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or use the Crime Stoppers online reporting page: https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au/ Information you provide will be treated in the strictest of confidence. We remind people they should not report crime information via our Facebook and Twitter pages.
