I do have a person of interest and stated that before ... I think there is a need to ascertain if there was any construction going on within the town of Wynarka around the time the suitcase man was seen - or even upcoming works.
Things like a house extension, putting up a new project such as a carport or even a garage perhaps?
There was a catalyst for these remains being moved.
I personally don't feel that he wanted the suitcase found, rather he was just flustered at knowing exactly what to do with it. He purposely didn't engage with the two woman. He's walked to the almost invisible boundary - geographically the area where he dumped the suitcase the topography of the area changes, he would have hit the end of his comfort zone. From all reports I think the suitcase was actually placed about 11 metres off the road hidden in bushes/trees
I'm thinking this is more like the caylee Anthony dump ... the remains were kept/clothing - someone did care and had a deep attachment to the child, that is why they haven't disposed of "Evidence"..as it's their child ...they have kept their child close.
To do such works (legally) you need to submit a DA (development application) to the local Council and get it approved first.
Most Councils publish basic details of these (DAs) on their websites. - it it a legislative requirement I think. They (Councils) then let interested people (e.g. neighbours etc) go into the Council and view the documents of any development application they like for free as a public service.
Wynarka seems to be part of a small Council called 'The District Council of Karoonda East Murray' which I haven't heard of before however they do publish basic DA info at
http://www.dckem.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=187
Specifically
http://www.dckem.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/internet register 2015.pdf (2015) and
http://www.dckem.sa.gov.au/webdata/resources/files/internet register 2014.pdf (2014).
Being such a small Council there is not many applications at all, and few of them are actually in Wynarka. What these tables may not show is if someone have put in an application and it hasn't been approved yet - there seems to be some entries that suggest as soon as an application is lodged the Council updates this register (prior to the DA actually being approved) although I wouldn't assume it to be comprehensive for DAs until after the DA has infact been approved.
The tables do show where (e..g Wynarka, Karoonda, somewhere else) work was proposed, what work (e.g. carport, new house etc) and who the applicant was (i.e. generally the owner) for each DA.
What I also found of interest while looking at the Council website was under the menu District Information => Centenary 2011 there is a link to a page called "Centenary Quilt" (
http://www.dckem.sa.gov.au/page.aspx?u=284) about a quilt presumably made in or around 2011 (to mark the Councils 100 year event?). Details quoted below.
A group of local residents participated in the design and construction of the Karoonda East Murray Centenary Quilt, measuring 2.4m x 1.25m.
A Textile Artist was appointed as the Project Supervisor and Instructor. This was a Community Project initiated by the Karoonda Quilters Group. The Quilt depicting the 100 Year Journey of Karoonda East Murray District; 1911 – 2011, was unveiled by Dorothy Blacket at the Karoonda East Murray Centenary Celebrations on 30 September 2011. This project was funded by Department for Families and Communities, Office for the Ageing “Positive Ageing Development Grants 2009/10” and supported by the District Council of Karoonda East Murray.
The project began on 19th May 2010 with regular fortnightly working days until 30th June 2011, followed by weekly meetings during July and August 2011. During September 2011 various individuals met in small groups twice weekly to effectively work on the quilt until completion and unveiling on Friday 30th September 2011. In all, this project has taken in excess of 3820 hours of volunteer work by senior residents in the Karoonda district.
While the quilt is nothing like the one linked to in the media I find it interesting there is a quilting group active within the local community (Karoonda is 10 minutes from Wynarka according to Google) - if the quilt found in the suitcase was made local then this groups members perhaps know details about it (or even made it).
While the quilt shown on the Council website is more intricate I was surpised it took over 3000 hours to make, how long do people think it would have taken someone to make the quilt found in the suitcase?
