I was just about to say the same thing...I think they are opalescent, so will look diff in pics. The Lanza logo on the case is one that doesn't seem to be around at all any more. I can only find one image of it.Acidtear - I'm pretty sure the discs on those dresses are all the same? They're pale pink but with a holographic kind of finish so they change to all sorts of colours in the light.
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I thought I'd read the man was carrying a dark/black suitcase? The one found seems to be pretty light coloured to me.
'Six to eight weeks ago, local women were out walking about 8am when they saw an elderly male walking towards the highway and across the railway line,' Superintendent Bray said.
'They didn't recognise this person as a local and they haven't seen him since. That person was about 60 years of age, average height, lightly built and neatly dressed and cleaned cut.
'We have no description of the clothes he was wearing but he was carrying a dark-coloured suitcase in one hand and he was carrying as supposed to wheeling it.
'The people who saw him thought it was odd because he didn't engage with them and most of the locals would chat to one another - even people they don't know,' he continued.
'They have then spoken to other people in Wynarka and another person had seen the person. When they returned to the corner, they couldn't see him.
'So they don't know whether he was collected on the highway by somebody else or what happened. We would appeal to that person to make contact with police through Crime Stoppers.
'It's really important for us to be able to eliminate that person from the inquiry - if that's possible. And there could be a completely innocent explanation as to why that person was here.'
In this article they're calling the found suitcase blue.Sorry if this has already been answered, but I thought I'd read the man was carrying a dark/black suitcase? The one found seems to be pretty light coloured to me.

BBM - the photo shows a rectangular logo, so even though it looks a bit dated perhaps the suitcase isn't that old?I keep getting this funny feeling looking at the suitcase that perhaps it was buried in someone's yard for a while and then brought out an dumped.
I found out that Lanza brand didn't exist before 1995 & was then trademarked for exclusive sale to Strandbags. They've changed their logo a few times since then from round to oval to now rectangle.

In regards to the man not using its wheels, could they be broken?
“We’ve had a couple of witnesses come forward who have seen the 60-year-old man at Wynarka with the suitcase,” Det-Supt Bray said.
“They also saw him on possibly the same day but later in the day around lunchtime, west of Wynarka. He was walking along the side of the road carrying a suitcase. We still don’t know who that man is and if he has anything to do with this case.”
I am wondering if it might be how the light is reflecting that makes the sequins appear colored. Probably the coating on the sequins has worn over time as well with the various weather they have been exposed to.Saw that too but the dress in the suitcase has Coloured disks and is black it seems.
Why would the state road toll be amended down when the man was killed ?
"A CRASH that killed Tailem Bend local <Modsnip> has been removed from the state’s road toll.
Police issued a statement today saying the road toll had been amended down from 38 to 37 after an investigation into the crash on the Mallee Hwy, at Peake, on Saturday May 30"
I think it may be because they are classing it as suicide rather than an accident.
