As soon as I got the name and tag number that was recorded, I called Southwest. They were shocked how I found my own bag. Honestly, Southwest dropped the ball and drug their feet on this one. At least everything in the suitcase was there, including my wife's new camera, and of course my XDS. Lesson learned, don't assume or expect the suitcase tags are always yours.
Make sure you verify the tag on your checked items is yours and matches your destination before the airline employee puts it on the belt - or takes it and walks you and it to TSA. Make sure you possess the matching claim check tag.

Very glad you found it.
