Hi guys,
It's been awhile, but I am having to rest due to surgery. I'm finally getting some time to read the forum again and have been slowly reading all the threads. I'm currently up to thread 3 and taking in all the theories. It's such a sad, sad case.
As I'm not up to date with the thread, forgive me if I ask questions that have already been answered.
Reading about the number of people who had seen this suitcase and opened it and not noticed the bones makes me wonder about how they didn't notice a human skull? Understandably this is a small child and the skull is tiny, but surely it would be one of the most obvious things to see at first? Maybe people were just looking for ID or something to see if the case had any significance and didn't rummage through it as such?
I was having a quick look at the average heights for girls of 90cms. Here is a graph which shows a child of 90cms could range anywhere from just under the age of 2 to around the age of 3.5.

For a child to die a 'cruel and horrible' death makes me wonder what this little angel went through? Personally I have this feeling something may have been lodged into the child, perhaps like John Sharpe who killed his wife and daughter with a speargun?

I don't think the suitcase was stolen. Not that I am a thief, but I couldn't imagine going into someone's house/shed etc and seeing a suitcase and without opening it, stealing it only to look at the contents later.
I'm not sure if suitcase man is involved at all, although he hasn't come forward which is an odd sign. I don't find the fact he didn't make contact with the women strange. I remember visiting a country town once and was walking to the bakery, crossing a road. A man walked straight past me, said good morning - asked how I was and kept walking. I was laughing to myself thinking 'that's odd!' - you do that in Brisbane and people think there's something wrong with you. How sad the world has become.
I think something has happened for this suitcase to suddenly be moved. Is someone leaving the area? Has someone recently died and another person is cleaning out the house? What if you found these bones and it was a relative and didn't want to get involved? Also, you never know why this little one died? Sometimes when children have disabilities parents find it hard to cope. If it happened locally how much of a support network does one have?
As for the black tutu. I don't think the colour is odd. I know there has been a bit of speculation about the colour on a little girl. When my daughter was younger she really wanted a black dress. She loved black (I think because I wear it so much), anyway a friend's mum ended up buying her a black dress and she wore it so much. She just loved it. I did have comments from people saying black isn't a nice colour, but she felt like a princess and that's all that mattered. My daughter had a similar CottonOn tutu, however it was pink and green if I remember. We bought it for her for her 1st birthday and she wore it at every opportunity possible. If she was allowed to sleep in it, she probably would have.
Anyway, I'm back to reading all the comments so please slow down so I can catch up :/
