Supplied photo of clothing and suitcase relating to the murder of Karlie Jade Pearce-Stevenson and daughter Khandalyce Kiara Pearce from NSW Police. Police have made a breakthrough in two suspected murder investigations in New South Wales and South Australia, identifying ‘Angel’ and the ‘child in a suitcase’ as a young mother and her daughter. NSW Police Force established Strike Force Hixson in August 2010 following the discovery of the skeletal remains of a young woman at Belanglo State Forest. The unidentified woman was named ‘Angel’ by detectives as she was located with a t-shirt with a distinct ‘Angelic’ motif across the front. South Australia Police established Task Force Malee in July 2015 following the discovery of the skeletal remains of a little girl in a suitcase on Karoona Highway, Wynarka. The pair has been identified as Karlie Jade Pearce-Stevenson and her daughter, Khandalyce Kiara Pearce, from Alice Springs, Northern Territory.
