The discovery comes just days after toddler Willow Dunn was found dead inside her home at Cannon Hill - just 15km from Stafford.
The four-year-old, who had Down syndrome, is alleged to have starved to death.
Police say her body was found malnourished and decomposing in her bed at her home in Brisbane on Monday, her face partially eaten by rats.

Her father, Mark James Dunn, 43, was charged with murder after he allegedly found the toddler dead on Saturday and didn't call emergency services.
Willow's body was allegedly found in a back bedroom inside the rented home on Bent Street in Cannon Hill, where she lived with her father, stepmother and stepsister.
Willow's stepmother and stepsister are not facing charges and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing on their parts.
