Ok, here's what's really doing my head in...Wynarka is tiny. I've done the google-walk, up and down the township, up and down the highway for 5 kms either side. (Suitcase and remains were found 2 kms from township.) There is literally nothing there. I've ruled out a local because the man with the suitcase wasn't recognised.
For me, this leaves two possibilities:
1/ He was dropped off.
2/ He caught the bus.
So surely, if dropped off by bus, the driver would have remembered and come forward by now. I'm sure it is not every day that a well dressed gentleman carrying a suitcase randomly takes a bus to Wynarka. It's hardly a tourist spot.
If dropped off by car, this suggests an accomplice.
Who walks for 2 kms, well-dressed, carrying a suitcase along an endless highway in the middle of nowhere? (rhet)
However he got there, I'm going to fast-forward to this man with the suitcase wandering along the highway. He's thinking about where to dump the suitcase. He's chosen a remote place, which suggests pre-planning. 2 kms is a fair hike.
Perhaps a car or truck suddenly appears, he panics and quickly shoves the suitcase behind the bushes. This would explain why the suitcase wasn't better hidden.
I'm wondering if the driver of the approaching truck or car stops to ask if he needs a lift? Yet no one (that we know of) has come forward.
If the man was not picked up, where did he go?
This is all so tragic and perplexing.
