have you ever seen a truckie in a suit?
I doubt that they would take a suitcase either it takes up too much room. There is only so much room in the cab of a truck. The truck drivers I know wear stubbies and singlets and have a small bag not a big bulky suitcase.
Has anyone done any research into the location of car shows in Central and Eastern Australia during the Spring/Summer of 2008; particularly November-December?
Also, DJH listed one of his business names at that time as 'Lappin Labouring & Detailing' (or vice versa). Detailing refers to cars/motorbikes. DJH may have followed the shows for work and the 'ambience'.
Working at car shows is a reason for frequent, unconventional travel patterns. The Darwin Show and Shine is the link between HP, DJH and KPS. HP's reference to the 'The Boss' Car' could relate to one of the cars DJH worked on.
I don't see how someone prowling about with a suitcase full of the victims bones could be considered "irrelevant"!
<modsnip> I'm not too far from Wynarka, and I just cant see an Innocent Explanation for Suitcase Man - unless you have a link where police state its definitely not related?
Police are famous for stating "he's not a suspect" immediately before they arrest *whoever*.
In this case no ones been arrested for Khandalyce's murder, which means the perp is still possibly outstanding.
These pics are not happy snapshots. They seem to me to have been taken to prove something. Maybe taken by a family member to prove to family that Karlie and Khandalyce are still alive? Or to prove to someone where they are?
I think the photo of Karlie at Marion was taken from a standing position with the camera/phone held at chest height so Karlie may be looking above the camera into the photographer's face, while the photo of Kandalyce was taken from a squatting or seated position.
The photos are interesting for several reasons:
Seems strange not to take a photo of Karlie and Kandalyce together. (unless they haven't been released by police)
Karlie appears, as others have said, to be a bit annoyed and taken off guard. She certainly didn't pose for the photo and it seems to have been taken quickly.
The most puzzling aspect, is why the photos were kept for 7 years. The photo of Karlie was as unremarkable as it was unflattering.
It would have meant transferring the photos with phone upgrades or stored on a computer.
That the photos were kept suggests they were important to the photographer, both at the time, and for the subsequent 7 years.
The mall photo's were taken by someone they met at the mall .. from a stranger.
The photo of Karlie and the one of Khandalyce were taken by the same person and she gave them to police.

Car shows in the NT 2008
I think it's safe to assume that the car show the photos were taken at was at Blaterskite Park in Alice Springs - 27/07/08. It was called the Northern Territory Motoring extravaganza. The first ever major car show. With cars from1920 onwards. There doesn't appear to be any other shows for the rest of the year in the NT. Well none listed there anyway.
I don't think it was a stranger. I think it was the person Karlie went to Marion specifically to meet.
I am thinking she met a trusted friend with whom she discussed her plan to "disappear" with the money so she could get herself and her daughter out of the drug running business.
The fact that her family and close friends seem to have known she wanted to escape from the business goes some way to explaining why she wasn't reported missing earlier and why,when a missing person report was filed in 2009, they were easily convinced that K & K were still alive but simply unable to return home due to the ongoing fear of being caught.
Where has it been confirmed Karlie was in the "drug running business"?
Good find. How do we know that the car show was held in NT though? Was it stated somewhere? (wouldn't surprise me if I missed it).
I'm from the NT and in my humble opinion that's the Alice Springs ranges in the back ground it would fit with being held at blatherskite park. Alice is surrounded by lots of hills. And the countryside looks exactly like that.
What if bosshog was the nickname of one of the guys who had a car in the show? Not saying his involved just a thought.
