DNA from toddler Khandalyce Kiara Pearce allowed authorities to match it to the body of her mother Karlie Jade Pearce-Stevenson, whose body was found in 2010 in a New South Wales forest.
(CNN)--For months, Australian police have been working to identify the body of a girl found discarded near a suitcase on the side of highway -- now they know who she is.
DNA analysis showed that the remains are that of two-year-old Khandalyce Kiara Pearce, South Australia Police (SAPOL) said in a press conference Wednesday.
They also revealed that a body found dumped in Belanglo State Forest in the state of New South Wales in 2010 belonged to the girl's mother, 20-year-old Karlie Jade Pearce-Stevenson.
"You should think of this investigation as being at the start as opposed to the end," SAPOL's head of Major Crime, Detective Superintendent Des Bray said.
