They hope the luggage will help jog someone's memory and help them find the boy's family.
"Ao far, we've received approximately 200 calls," said Sgt. Carey Huls. "And unfortunately, of those 200 calls, we haven't received that call that we want to get, the call that helps us identify this young child. So we're very thankful for the tips that are coming in, but we haven't received the one we wanted."
The child was found Saturday in a rural area in Washington County, Indiana.
Investigators said the remains did not show any sign of trauma and the child appeared to be well-cared for.
An autopsy was unable to determine a cause of death.
