Gordon Rhodes

Gordon Rhodes was a major in the Royal American Mounted Police and worked in the RAM's Upper California Section HQ in New Liverpool. Colonel Thomas Bushell assigned him the task of being the headquarters coordinator of the investigation into the theft of "The Two Georges" since Bushell intended to spend his time in the field conducting the investigation. Rhodes was a blonde man in his mid-forties and on the chunky side with a florid, scholarly face.

Major Rhodes came up with the idea of drawing a large matrix on butcher paper and cross-referencing witness statements as to who was where on the night of the theft. This greatly simplified confirming these statements and revealing any inconsistencies. Unfortunately, no inconsistencies showed up indicating none of the witnesses were likely to be directly involved in the theft.
