UPDATE: 10/22/15 – The body found in the suitcase in Australia has been identified to be Khandalyce Kiara Pearce,2, who is the daughter of Karlie Pearce-Stevenson whose remains were found in New South Wales in a forest in 2010. The location is 750 miles away from where her daughter was found inside the suitcase. The police were led to Khandalyce’s identity from a tip.
There are some convicting stories, but one is that a road crew saw the black case which has now faded to gray, behind a bush in March, but no one touched it. Another story is that someone tipped over the suitcase and contents fell out and then the suitcase was moved out to the side of the road where is was seen by someone driving by in July. The police want to talk to whoever found the Lanza brand suitcase and moved it to the side of the roadway so they can gather more information about the case, reported Perth Now.
Because of the approximate timing of the child’s death, many are wondering if Maddie McCann is the child in the suitcase. But, how would Maddie get from a resort in Portugal to a suitcase along side a road in Australia?

Until the DNA testing comes back we can only hope it helps solve the mystery, although the testing was done on the Jane Doe on Deer Island it helped reveal nothing as her DNA was not previously put on an database.
I am wondering if the man, if he was the one that left the suitcase on the side of the road, put it there knowing that eventually it would be found, because there are so many places it could have been put, including the middle of the ocean, where it would have never been found.
Sadly, either this is the remains of a missing child from several years back that the police have been looking for years, or this child was never reported missing. Why would someone now, someone who might have been responsible with this child’s murder decide to just put her at the side of the road, knowing she eventually would be found. It would have been very simple to bury the remains, to remove the clothing, to get rid of the suitcase, where no one would have ever found it. Maybe the person that put her there had nothing to do with her murder , but meant for the child to be found.
I believe the child was left with all the other evidence for a reason. They meant for the clothing in the suitcase and possible the suitcase itself to be evidence to help the police to figure out who the child is, and eventually lead to a person or even a group of people that are responsible for her death. Someone wants the police to figure out who this child is.
Wouldn't they be doing DNA testing now?
Yes; but many children's DNA has not been entered into the “DNA clearinghouse” so unless they can test with a possible parent there is no way of getting an immediate match.
I know the little girl they found in Mass. there hasn't been anyone come forward and her composite picture doesn't match any current missing children and there is no DNA match.
