Nice episode. The one thing that kept bothering me though was why there was so little on the suitcase itself, except in relation to the body. Find the owner and they could have had the culprit sooner. I realize it was damaged, but they've done more with less.
Trying to remember which episode or quote it was where Sweets (I think) pointed out that Booth plays dumber than he is in order to let others underestimate him and let their guard dip for a moment. This episode reminded me of that.
Particularly nice use of continuity re: Sweets' foster-system past.

I thought it was a good episode. It was nice to see a bit more of sweets in this.
I was wondering though why Brennan was O.K. just going to the lab to see the remains, I remember in the past she would have gotten a little upset that she didn't examine the remains at the scene. Just a thought!
The mother of the rape victim was a bit off to me. I can't believe she wouldn't want to do everything she could to find her daughter's attacker, that seemed odd to me too.
Mainly in this episode my favorite parts were with Sweets. He never really reveals much of his past, with the abuse he suffered. He really seemed to want to connect & help the rape victim through this, more emotional than he usually is shown to be. Also noticed Brennan & Booth seemed to be protective of his feelings as it related to the case.
