That so called suitcase is jst debris of what it was once a suitcase and it is gonna be hard to be identified as originating from an ac. Unless it is the same model/type of bag that crew are using.
Whilst the suitcase may be a red herring, I would not write its connection off immediately.
Have you ever tried to buy a matching piece of luggage?
Unless it is a very cheap case it should be possible to identify manufacturer, year of manufacture, get a picture of an original, determine where it could have been sold even. Then it might be possible for a relative to confirm if it might be that of a missing passenger.
