It could be the weather stripping on the hatch. My car does the same thing in heavy rain.

When I bought my eclipse it had a nice zide dent on the rear quater panel righ tbelow the gas tank. The dent caused the seam in the metal to leak water into the trunk. When you open the lid for the gas tank there is a seam that goes all the way around the inside by the gas cap. The factory seals is with some clear stuff and if that is damaged you will leak water into your trunk.

have someone sit in the car while you run a hose over your hatch area, then you'll be able to see exactly where's its leaking from

Make sure the drains on the sides of the hatch where the lift struts attach are clean. If they are pluged water will pool up next to the hatch weather stipping and follow the easiest path down.....Cleaned mine with a piece of #16 wire.
