Interesting but murderers and those under stress of being discovered do all sorts of odd things - we can only guess at their motivations - and we only have very few of facts
maybe to us it looks like they weren't too worried about the suitcase being found - but was actually quite a good choice ?
it is a fairly remote area , they did hide behind the bushes ,
Maybe no where near where they live
Nothing in suitcase that leads to them
They had cared for this child ( in their own perverse way ) keeping it close to them until something happened
Maybe this was the best hiding spot given circumstances
Plus I still think about all the horrific things that happen to children including the way their bodies are disposed of and they are mostly murded by parents or step parents .
I think the very small numbers of missing children in Australia certainly point towards family murderer
I am interested in all theories,
However, I first thought of Kiesha Abrahams/Wippeart when I saw this on the news.
Her mother killed her and then with the aid of the stepfather, put her in a suitcase, took her to the burial location and burned it, then buried it. There are parents often in the news who do horrific things to their own, some seem to have no conscience, so I am not ruling out the parent possibility yet, given the thought that a child has not been reported missing that points to anything else yet.
I do wish it had never happened.
That's true, but children being savagely murdered by their parents (rather than killed through accident, neglect or similar) is quite a rare incident in itself and usually occurs due to severe mental health issues or revenge, where other family members, who do care, are very aware of the murder or of a child being missing.
As I said, there's no guarantee that disposal of remains profiling can help narrow down an offender in this case and the treatment of the remains themselves (not the location of disposal) IS very similar to Kiesha, as Karo said. I also agree that it's possible to have a family member do something like this if they had very little regard for the victim, so yes, it's possible.
It can be extremely difficult attempting to ascertain the relationship between the victim and the person who disposed of him/her through profiling - for one, many people who emotionally care for their victim do actually leave remains in a place they consider easy to find, because they want them to be found for the purpose of closure. In these cases though, the remains are often carefully laid in a neat and tidy manner and fully dressed.
It's the disregard for the remains (including the suggestion that he/she met a horrible end), in combination with the location they were found in, that makes me think it was somebody not emotionally tied to the victim.
Where remains are oviously badly treated, dismembered and left in a careless location, it can also signify that the dumper wants to send a message to the police, public or victim's family. In fact, the method of disposal (at the side of a road) - when looked at historically - matches the methods of many past serial killers! I don't think this is the case with this little angel though. Well, I seriously hope not anyway!
Sorry, I know I haven't explained myself very clearly here. Disposal of remains profiling can seem quite contradictory when one tries to break it down into separate indicators. It's the whole of the circumstances that bring me to my conclusion though, and I am basing it upon a specific criminological concept, which unfortunately, isn't a sure science (yet). Again, it's just my opinion based on limited info - I certainly don't claim to know for certain and I appreciate the points you have both brought up
I also wish it had never happened. It's always so heartbreaking when the victim is a child :-(
