It is quite extraordinary, isn't it?
The forensics stated that Khandalyce's body decomposed somewhere else, and was put into the suitcase later. "
the bones themselves weren't bleached, so it didn't look like they have been out in the sun for a great period of time. They weren't dirty, so they didn't look like they had been buried" (see
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-22/forensic-team-searches-wynarka-suitcase-for-dna/6874714 for that detail).
So someone, somewhere, kept a suitcase full of children's clothing that, even prior to being left on the side of the road, probably didn't look worth hanging onto, for about 6 years.
That has always seemed unlikely to me, especially if they people concerned are semi-transient. Why cart around luggage you don't need or use?
Then later, someone, somewhere, removed he remains of Khandalyce from wherever they were kept "
out in the sun for a great period of time" and not buried.
Did they just randomly put the bones into that suitcase, not realising the clothes in it were Khandles'?
I like your thought that it may have been Karlie's body that was transported such a long way, to ACT, to confuse the case by leaving her in Milat territory.
In that scenario then, we would be looking for an SA murder scene, maybe closer to Wynarka.
Could the murders have occurred on the way back from Canberra to Adelaide and the case of clothing and child's body been left at the murder scene for years but Karie's body moved back to the Canberra area.
Then, years later, since Karlie's body has never been identified, the killer thinks to clean up at the original site and just bundles up everything and leaves it on the roadside?
It takes a certain level of stupidity to do that, but it is certainly a possibility in this bizarre case.
