Detectives are now trying to obtain the sales records for the 28 Tutu dresses sold at the five Cotton On Kids stores in Adelaide to locate their purchasers and hopefully identify the murdered girl.
“We have the data for all sales across Australia, but our initial focus will be on SA,’’ he said.
“We are in the process of tracing those transactions locally, but if anyone has purchased one of these using cash they need to contact us.
“We need to know when they bought it, where they bought it and what they have done with it.
“That will help us with this process. It is a very distinctive, individual item so hopefully people will remember purchasing it from one of these five shops.’’
