Dry Suitcase Eight Miles Downriver - What Did David Do On The Ferry?

A dry, locked, dark green hard-shell suitcase was found upright on eight inches of exposed sand on a fast, swollen river - bone dry despite being eight miles downstream; the building access log shows no one opened the storage unit after David placed that very suitcase there two weeks earlier. How did an object stored and accounted for in a locked unit end up dry on a sandbar, and what happened during the Meridian Ferry crossing that might explain it?

In this episode, we lay out the timeline from February 22 to March 5, 2011, including building access records, ferry crew observations, and the suitcase discovery, to present the unresolved gap in memory and evidence that still puzzles investigators. Could the Meridian Ferry crossing on March 3 be the key to the suitcase’s impossible journey?

Person: David Do
Date: February 22, 2011 (storage entry) and March 3-5, 2011 (ferry crossing and discovery)
Location: Picker's Bend on the Carver River
Event: Meridian Ferry crossing from Orren to Bellhaven, March 3, 2011
Witness: Chris Polk (deckhand) and John Andrews (discoverer)

- The suitcase was found upright on eight inches of exposed sand at 4:15 AM on March 5, 2011, with no water on it.
- David Do's key-card recorded entry to the first-floor storage room on February 22, 2011; no further openings of that unit were recorded until March 5.
- The Carver River was running four to six miles per hour and swollen from snowmelt at the time the suitcase was found.
- The Meridian Ferry left Orren at approximately 9:50 PM on March 3, 2011; the crossing takes 14-18 minutes and the deck was glazed with ice.
- Ferry deckhand Chris Polk observed David Do on the open deck moving toward the stern "with purpose" during that crossing; an impact was later heard from the stern.
