    The 54-Pound Suitcase That Refused Rhonda's Disappearance

    In this episode, we walk through the sequence of events and records that tied a heavy, tagged suitcase to Rhonda Bowers and to Harwick Junction's depot systems. What do timestamps, a manifest weight, and a worker's PIN reveal about who moved that bag and why?

    Person: Rhonda Bowers
    Date: April 6-9, 2019
    Location: Harwick Junction BNSF depot
    Weight: 54 pounds
    Person: Thomas Berry

    - Rhonda worked at the depot, knew access points, and was studying logistics while maintaining a steady routine of calls and game nights.
    - On April 5 she hosted game night; Thomas Berry attended and was the last guest to leave around 11:40 p.m.
    - Investigators infer Berry may have observed Rhonda entering her PIN, creating the possibility he used her credentials afterward.
    - At 2:10 a.m. on April 6 Rhonda's keycard registered an entry and the manifest logged a 54-pound burgundy suitcase under her name.
    - Rhonda's phone went dark at 12:15 a.m., her car remained in the lot, and her body was found days later two miles from the depot.
