Media in Adelaide have been pelted with eggs by the partner of a woman who was questioned by police investigating the murders of missing mum Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and her two-year-old daughter.

Wheelchair-bound Hazel Passmore attended Adelaide police station on Friday with her lawyer and partner after it was discovered she had photos of murdered toddler Khandalyce on her Facebook page.

The 33-year-old was questioned for several hours, but no charges were laid and she left the station.

Ms Passmore is the former girlfriend of Daniel Holdom, 41, the man charged this week with murdering Karlie Pearce-Stevenson.

Ms Passmore's new partner told media waiting outside her Davoren Park home on Saturday to "f*** off" while throwing eggs and other objects.

"I had nothing to do with it, so f*** off," he said.

Ms Pearce-Stevenson's remains were found dumped in the notorious Belanglo State Forest south of Sydney in 2010.

The remains of Khandalyce were found in July, dumped with a suitcase on the side of a highway more than 1000 kilometres away in South Australia.

It was not until October that police were able to link the toddler's DNA to her mother's remains.

Khandalyce was two years old when she was last seen with her 20-year-old mother, who was originally from Alice Springs.

The pair were reported missing by Ms Pearce-Stevenson's mother in 2009 but this was withdrawn about a month later after she was assured Karlie and her granddaughter were fine.

Police have revealed Ms Pearce-Stevenson's identity and mobile phone were used for years after her death to mislead family and defraud social services.

Almost $100,000 was taken from her bank account between 2008 and 2012 and a woman in a wheelchair impersonated her at a Centrelink interview in 2010.

It has also been reported that NSW Police allegedly discovered one of the missing mother's bank cards in Holdom's wallet in 2013 while patrolling Narara, on the NSW Central Coast.

Holdom and Ms Karlie Pearce-Stevenson had previously been in a relationship.
