Almost a decade later, in August 2022, the AFP made a breakthrough in the case while re-examining the images uncovered by Argos in 2014.
Guardian Australia understands detectives sought to identify bedsheets depicted in the background of one of the images and were eventually able to trace them to a childcare centre in suburban Brisbane.
All pictures are sanitized in the below website links - I am loathe to suggest reddit under most circumstances these days, but in this case I’ll make an exception: r/TraceAnObject is active and has links to a few websites where you can try to help ID stuff:

https://www.accce.gov.au/what-we-do/trace-an-object
https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/ecap/seeking-information
Good hunting.
Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention, if you’re looking to help with OSINT type stuff, there’s also the Overt Operators discord:

Edit 2: Wow, kinda surprised someone downvoted this. If I pissed off any child molesters with this post: Good, hope you die in a fire.
I see the downvotes, and either they’re pedophiles, or people who hate reddit more than they hate pedophiles. Either way, speaks to fucked priorities.
Thanks for the links. It’s still hard to look at that stuff even if it’s “sanitized”.
