SA police continue search in bones case

South Australian police have returned to the area where the remains of a young girl were found east of Adelaide as inquiries continue.

A search will continue along a 40-kilometre stretch of highway east of Adelaide as investigations go on into the discovery of a young girl's remains.

Mounted patrols started the search between Tailem Bend and Karoonda on Monday and will return to the site on Tuesday.

Police are looking for new clues to help solve the baffling murder of the young girl who is still to be identified.

Last month, a motorist found a suitcase containing ragged clothing and other items alongside the bones of the girl aged between two-and-a-half to four years.

Police are checking through more than 250 names of potential victims collated by various welfare and other agencies across the country.
