The items of clothing (pictured) were mostly found on the ground near a grey Lanza suitcase.
The suitcase and its contents – including the child - were left at the location by an unknown person behind a bush.
Police believe that at some stage someone tipped most of the contents out behind a nearby bush and left the suitcase near the roadside.
People driving along the road saw the suitcase over time, originally closed and later with the lid open. Some stopped and inspected it.
The suitcase was first discovered shortly after road works were completed in March this year.
“Identifying who emptied the suitcase contents behind the bush and when it was emptied is very important to investigators,” said Detective Superintendent Des Bray, Officer in Charge, Major Crime Investigation Branch.
“The person who did this is not in any trouble and we encourage that person to come forward and contact us through Crime Stoppers or attend their local police station.”
“Forensic Science SA have been working very hard to identify the gender of the child and to obtain a DNA profile.
Despite their best efforts they have not been able to achieve that result yet, however they continue to be committed to the task using alternative methods of analysis.
