I think nearly every occult idea's been suggested, so I'll hit the mundane
ones.

1) It's full of money from a bank raid, it's all brand-new fresh
consecatively* numbered bills, and the white guy is going to launder the
money.
2) It's empty. The PC's employers are trying to sneak some important
McGuffin over the border, and everyone's after them - so they give an empty
case to the PC, send him off north, then leak the information to everyone
that he's got the item. All the bad guys go after the PC, Mexicans get to
smuggle the real case north without a problem. The PC was lucky, and only
three of the hunters caught him before he handed the case off.
Now, soon after the PC makes the handoff, another gang who're looking for
the case catch up with the white guy, turn him into bite-sized chunks which
clog the toilet in the motel, and open the case. It's empty - and they
assume the PC doublecrossed his employers and made off with the McGuffin....
