If I saw a man walking along our rural road with a suitcase I'd think he was walking to catch a bus. But in Wynarka everything seems 'different'. :thinking:
I'm finding it hard to comprehend a relative allowing a little girl to live in a tiny caravan in this way. If the relative had a home with all the luxuries that they were going without, wouldn't they offer at least to take the little girl in temporarily while in this circumstance?

I had discarded suitcase man, as couldn't possibly fathom why he would be so brazen. Is it a possibility he was a hitchhiker, hence carrying a suitcase ?
Occam's razor : a person carrying a suitcase by a roadside is most probably making a journey, and the suitcase contains personal items.
But in the event of hitchhiking, any person who gave the man a lift would surely have remembered and reported it, no? Unless they were en route out of state and haven't heard of the case.
And according to witness reports, 'suitcase man' was in Wynarka at least twice (recognized by the same person, who saw him once and then weeks later). So if he was a hitchhiker, then that would mean that he was picked up by two different people, wouldn't it? And dropped off, perhaps, by different people? Unless it was the same person doing the picking up and dropping off, in which case that wouldn't be 'hitchhiking'.
That's quite a few drivers, then, who have not come forward with that information - as far as we know.

Someone is dropping suitcase man into town from a rural property out of town. They drop him off out of town (dont want car seen) , he walks into town. Maybe he lives in a caravan with no car. He's dropped off in town to collect the pension or medication? What happens fortnightly?
Can’t apply what a normal human being would do in this case.
To understand what a psychopath did, needs to think like a psychopath!
When you say 'town,' crabstick, do you mean Wynarka, or a town nearby with better facilities? I don't think there would be anywhere in Wynarka to collect a pension or medication, unless the PO was more operational than it seems to be.

That may well be the case. The PO distributes pensions to those, or acts as a bank, the old way. Doctors can come through fortnightly/
I guess you have to be there to find out. Without some form of infrastructure towns wouldn't hold up. There must be a way. Thousands of regional pensioners depend on it.
As for people living in caravans, there is a lot of people living in caravans. Semi-permanent are all they can afford. People have lived in less. Children need love. The rest is worthless without it. You'd be surprised at what goes on in mansions. Grumpy people there too.
Something else that's occurred to me regarding the hitch hiking theory, if a truck driver or someone just passing through Wynarka was to stop and pick up a hitch hiker then unless they knew the area there's a good chance the driver wouldn't even know the name of the town they're passing through. Some of these tiny towns have very little signage and it's true, if you blink you would miss them. So what im getting at is its possible someone passing the area did pick up a hitch hiker and just hasn't realised the significance because the name Wynarka doesn't ring a lot of bells if its just a tiny town you passed through months ago.
Is that the Wynarka Post Office, or Post Offices in general in Australia? In many countries, thousands of PO's have closed down in recent years. They're not necessarily to be found in every small town, let alone a tiny one. Was the one in Wynarka fully operational?
I also wonder if Wynarka would be the kind of place someone would come to expressly to use the Post Office, when far more would abound in the bigger places....is there a special service or facility of some kind offered in Wynarka that wasn't available in towns nearby, perhaps?
At any rate, wouldn't the PO, if it is indeed operational, have been one of the first ports of call for police?
If suitcase man DID go there, it's highly likely that this case would have jogged the memory of the person who runs it. Wouldn't they now remember that they served a complete stranger to the town, perhaps carrying a suitcase....And wouldn't they have valuable information on him? If he had collected a pension, we'd have his identity!
Even if it was just a cash transaction of some kind that he made, something less traceable, it would still provide police with at least something to go on as to whether he was likely to be involved in this whole thing or not.
And if he was in Wynarka in order to use the Post Office, then he made more than one visit there (if witness accounts about him having been in the vicinity on two separate dates are to be trusted), increasing the likelihood of the person who served him remembering him.
If I had a corpse in my case. The last thing I would do is hitch hike with it, partly because of the smell.
