Authorities searching for clues after Texas college student mysteriously disappears​

Authorities in Texas are searching for clues in the mysterious disappearance of a college student whose family said he went missing after taking his dog out earlier this week.

Caleb Harris, a student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, was last seen in the early morning hours on Monday near his off-campus apartment complex, according to police.

His roommates were unable to locate him later Monday morning and his family reported him missing, according to the Corpus Christi Police Department.

Harris' father, Randy Harris, told ABC Corpus Christi affiliate KIII that his dog returned home but his son never did. He left behind his keys, wallet, and vehicle, police said. He did have his phone but it has since turned off, police said.

His father said there wasn't anything to lead them to believe the student was in any danger or planning to leave.

Law enforcement agencies suspect foul play in case of missing Texas college student

Investigators suspect foul play in the disappearance of Caleb Harris, who was last seen in the early morning hours of March 4.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Miles before you enter Corpus Christi city limits, you see him. Catch in hand -- 21-year-old college student Caleb Harris on a billboard -- a missing person.

For more than two-and-a-half months, thousands of volunteers and law enforcement officers have searched for the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi junior whose disappearance still cannot be explained.

"Missing without a trace," Corpus Christi Police Department Assistant Chief Todd Green said.

Green has been with the police department for almost 40 years. He said he knew something was seriously wrong from the day Caleb went missing.

"Do you still have that feeling today that something bad probably did happen?" KHOU 11 reporter Matt Dougherty asked him.

"Yeah, we do," Green said. "We do."

<snip>

According to Green, there is information detectives have not made public out of concern its release could hinder the investigation.

"We don’t have any one single piece of evidence that points to what happened to him," Green said. "We have evidence, that when you put it all together, that suggests that there was potentially some foul play involved."

He said the team of local, state and federal authorities continues to meet on Caleb’s case at least twice weekly. In addition to the hundreds of warrants and preservation requests they continue to submit and the dozens of interviews they’re conducting, Green said police are still following up on tips from the public.

"Some of them are from psychics who have visions," Green said. "But there have been some of them that have had some good information, and we’ve gone out and followed up on them."

Other calls to a tip line created by volunteers often go straight to Randy Harris.

"I get calls all hours of the night," Harris said. "And those are hard, too, because most of the time, it is somebody drunk. And it’s heart-wrenching because if it’s something, you’ve got to go chase it."

The search for Caleb has become Randy Harris’ second full-time job. Even though his family has been broken by his son’s disappearance, the dad said they’re still holding onto their faith. Right now, it’s all they’ve got.

<snip>

Investigators said they are getting closer and hoping data requested from cell phone and tech companies will lead them to a person who knows what happened to Caleb.

Caleb’s friends, roommates and the woman who delivered the Uber Eats order have taken polygraph tests and have been cleared by investigators.

If you have any information or think you may have seen Caleb, Randy Harris is asking that you call 911. You can also call the family’s tip line at 361-826-2950. There's a $50,000 reward offered for information leading to Caleb’s safe return.

The family also created a GoFundMe account to help fund the search efforts.

Where is Caleb Harris? Corpus Christi man remains missing after 3 months

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – It’s been three months since a 21-year-old Texas A&M Corpus Christi student disappeared without a trace.

Caleb Harris was last seen around 4 a.m. on March 4, 2024, near his apartment complex in the 1900 block of Ennis Joslin.

The Corpus Christi Police Department created a timeline of events to track Harris’ whereabouts the night he vanished.

Investigators say a doorbell camera shows Harris, his friend, and one of his roommates playing in a parking lot with a puppy at around 12:56 a.m. Shortly after, they returned to Caleb’s apartment, and his friend left.

At approximately 2:20 a.m., one of Harris’ roommates said he was going to bed. Police say Harris replied that he was going to stay up to order UberEats for lunch the next day. Harris then shared a Snapchat video with his younger sister that shows him walking the puppy in his apartment complex parking lot.

At around 3:03 a.m., Harris sent a Snapchat photo to a high school of a small bridge over a drainage ditch within 100 feet of his apartment complex, according to police.

At roughly 3:12 a.m., Harris’ phone last shared location data with the nearest cell tower, police said.

At approximately 3:20 a.m., the UberEats driver left Harris’ order outside his apartment’s front door, police said.

The following morning, around 11 a.m., one of Harris’ roommates noticed the UberEats still outside the front door, and Harris’ truck was parked in front of the apartment, authorities said.

Harris’ roommates immediately became concerned and contacted authorities after searching for Harris themselves.

Investigators said Harris’ wallet and keys were left behind in his apartment. All that was missing was Harris and his phone.

Harris’ apartment unit showed no signs of a struggle or foul play, according to police.

Authorities said Harris’ roommates, friends, and family members have been cooperative with investigators and are not expected to be connected with his disappearance.

Investigators confirmed that the UberEats driver was eliminated as a possible suspect as she was alone and did not see Harris.

Authorities have deeply searched the surrounding areas of Harris’ last known location for surveillance footage but have not been able to connect the dots.

Thus far, forensic computer examiners have reviewed hundreds of gigabytes of electronic data and continue to do so daily.

If you have information regarding Harris’s whereabouts, please contact the Corpus Christ Police Department at 361-826-2840 or leave an anonymous tip at 888-TIPS (888-8477).

Investigation points to 'recent activity' on missing student's cell phone, police say​

Corpus Christi police provided an update through social media on Tuesday concerning the ongoing search for missing 21-year-old Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi student Caleb Harris.

In a post that published on the Corpus Christi Police Department webpage on NextDoor, Senior Officer Jennifer Collier wrote that detectives with the police department are aware of some recent activity on Harris' cell phone that has caught the attention of concerned individuals following the case online and through social media.

Detectives and forensic computer examiners with CCPD learned about the activity on May 28, immediately sharing the information with the entire investigative team, which includes the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and the Texas Rangers, Assistant Chief Todd Green said through written comment in a follow-up interview on June 4.

The chief emphasized that the information does not mean Harris has reactivated his cell phone. It is only intended to inform the public--particularly those who have been following the investigation closely, he added.

"Detectives, at this point in the investigation, do not wish to disclose the specific investigative technique being used, other than it is one of many investigative techniques that detectives and forensic computer examiners are using to solve Caleb's disappearance," Green wrote.

CORPUS CHRISTI - A body was recovered on Monday in Corpus Christi, in an adjacent field from the home of Caleb Harris.

Police say they understand many people want answers, but they also say that will require patience as identification of the body could take weeks.

Harris has been missing for nearly four months when the New Braunfels native and Texas A&M Corpus Christi student vanished just outside his apartment.


We've come to Corpus Christi a handful of times in the months since Harris' disappearance. Today, we returned after city workers found remains in a wastewater lift station.

Police said we'll have to wait for answers to find out if those remains are Caleb's.

"We have to for the ME," said Corpus Christi Police Chief Mike Markle. "Remember the police do not identify remains. That's the ME's job. That process is happening now."

Police say the body was in an advanced state of decomposition and identification will take time.

"Probably a month to six weeks depending on what they have available for forensics," said Chief Markle.

Randy Harris, Caleb's father, says he hopes and prays it is not his son.

"Prayers and best wishes for the Harris family," said Corpus Christi resident Wes Slack. "It's my community. I live here. I am a bit of an outdoorsman, cyclist. I'm outside a bit. And went Caleb went missing from the parts of town I ride my bicycle in, it's just really close to home."

An investigation is underway after human remains were discovered in a wastewater well in Corpus Christi. The remains were found feet away from missing college student Caleb Harris' apartment.

Corpus Christi police officers responded to the well off of Lexington and Holly Road at 3:31 p.m. Monday, June 24. The police department had received reports from a water employee who found human remains at the collection point, according to Corpus Christi PD.

Officials say the around 40-foot-deep well was full of wastewater and had to be drained safely before Corpus Christi Fire Department crews could attempt to retrieve the remains. Those who searched the water well had to wear hazmat suits.

CCPD says there is no evidence at this time that the human remains are in any way connected to the disappearance of Caleb Harris. However, the location of the human remains has fueled speculation. A medical examiner will have to determine the identity of the human remains.

Caleb Harris was last seen in the early morning of March 4 near his apartment in the 1900 block of Ennis Joslin Road. Three months since his disappearance, multiple agencies have joined the search for the missing 21-year-old New Braunfels native.

Police did note that the location and area were previously checked in the early days of searching for Caleb Harris.

Sure, but was UNDER the area checked? As in throughout the sewer network. Not really blaming them if they didn't necessarily, but if not, there is a real possibility they might have missed him.

This doesn't sound good. For anyone. Human remains were found down inside a 40 foot deep waste water collection
well near Caleb's apartment. The remains were found by Corpus Christi workers who were doing routine maintenance on the well.

Human Remains Update: Wastewater lift station locked at time body found

Police said Wednesday they found no obvious signs of homicide on the remains found near Ennis Joslin. There is still no link to missing person Caleb Harris.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — We are continuing to learn new details about the Perry Place wastewater lift station where human remains were found on Monday.

3NEWS has learned that the lift station was locked when a Corpus Christi Water employee discovered the human remains while conducting maintenance. That means that someone would have had to have a key to get in to where the wet well is located, which is where the human remains were found.

City documents show there are about 105 lift stations in the city, and they are checked at varying levels of frequency. This is one of the smaller lift stations in the city.

Corpus Christi Police Chief Mike Markle said on Wednesday that the remains bore no obvious signs of homicide. Once the city worker found them at about 3:30 p.m. on Monday, they immediately contacted the police department.

Investigators still have not yet found any link to missing person Caleb Harris, who disappeared from a nearby apartment complex March 4.

The Medical Examiner’s Office was unable to make an identification or provide a manner or cause of death due to the advanced state of decomposition the remains were found in.

Corpus Christi Police are attempting to determine how the human remains found their way into the wastewater lift station collection well.

The remains are being sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification for DNA analysis. The university is a major resource in the United States for the identification of missing persons and unidentified human remains.

If you have information regarding this investigation, please contact the Corpus Christi Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at (361) 826-2840 or you can submit an anonymous tip at Crime Stoppers 888-TIPS (888-8477).

Just because the area was locked, doesn't mean that the path a body would take to get there would need to get there through a locked door/gate, etc. It could have gotten there just as the waste did. The waste didn't care if the area was locked or not to get there.

Remains found in Texas believed to be missing college student Caleb Harris: Police

Remains found at wastewater station identified as missing college student Caleb Harris, police said.

After a monthslong search, remains found at a wastewater facility in Texas are believed to be missing college student Caleb Harris, according to authorities.

City workers conducting maintenance at a wastewater lift station in Corpus Christi, Texas, last month discovered human remains in a well and notified police, the Corpus Christi Police Department said on Facebook.

The remains had "no obvious signs of homicide," but were transported to the Nueces County Medical Examiner's Office for examination, according to police.

Due to the "advanced state of decomposition," the medical examiner was unable to make an identification, nor "provide a manner or cause of death," authorities said on Wednesday.

The DNA samples were sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification (UNTCHI) for analysis with Harris' parents' DNA.

The remains were "approximately 2.4 sextillion times more likely to be observed if the unidentified remains originated from a biological child of (Caleb Harris's parents) rather than if the unidentified remains originated from an unrelated individual from the Caucasian population," according to the Missing Persons DNA Report issued by UNTCHI, authorities said.

"We all have heavy hearts this evening as we learned of the positive identification of our sweet Caleb. We will grieve our son," Harris' family said in a statement on Wednesday. "Thank you for your prayers and support during this tragic time."

Harris, a 21-year-old student at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, was reported missing in early March.

His roommates were unable to locate him after he walked his dog early in the morning and his family reported him missing, according to the Corpus Christi Police Department.

Harris' father, Randy Harris, told ABC Corpus Christi affiliate KIII that his dog returned home but his son never did. He left behind his keys, wallet and vehicle, police said. He did have his phone, but it had been turned off, police said.

In the months since Harris' disappearance, "investigators executed over 50 digital search warrants, submitted 82 preservation requests, and analyzed over 1500 GB of Data," police said on Wednesday.

The investigation into Harris' death remains open, authorities said.

Missing Student Caleb Harris May Have Accidentally Fallen into Manhole, Police Say, as They Reveal New Details of Finding Body

As the investigation into missing student Caleb Harris' death continues, police are sharing new details about how the 21-year-old's body may have ended up at a wastewater well near his apartment without there being any evidence of "obvious homicide."

people.com

Speaking with PEOPLE on Thursday, July 18, Breedlove says that around 3:03 a.m. on March 4, Harris sent a Snapchat photo to a friend that showed a small bridge located a few hundred feet away from his apartment complex.

About 600 feet away from there, investigators found a manhole in a field.

“[The manhole] was covered with grass at the time and no one was [initially] able to find this or notice that this hole was there,” Breedlove says — but, importantly, its cover "had been knocked aside."

"We don't know how that occurred," he adds. "It is an area that is farmed every year. So there's the likelihood that a farming implement knocked it off and with the high grass growing across there, it would be sort of camouflaged to most people walking around there.”

Another factor that may have impacted visibility? Breedlove says that the night Harris went missing "was probably one of the foggiest nights we'd had."

Although police can't say for certain how he entered the manhole, which measured 25 inches wide and 15 feet deep, Breedlove says police do believe that the open manhole was Harris' point of access into the sewer system.

“There are four other manholes on the roadway, and we cannot rule out that he entered the system in one of those, but it is more likely to have entered through the open hole,” he says, adding that police are uncertain if there was water in the open manhole on the night of Caleb’s disappearance.

Breedlove tells PEOPLE that someone actually called authorities about the open manhole on April 18. But when they went to the location and drained it, "there was no indication of a body."

Then, they even went to the lift station where Harris' body was eventually found and "drained the tank there," too — but again, they came up with nothing.

Then late last month, Tropical Storm Alberto came through the area — and on June 24, employees at the lift station notified authorities that a sewage pump set off an alarm, indicating that something was jammed in the pipe.

Because of the water accumulation, Breedlove says, “we believe that the body," which had been in the pipe, was then "pushed into that lift station."

“They opened it,” Breedlove continues, “and found what appeared to be a human bone, which we now know was one of the shoulder bones."

After authorities arrived, Breedlove says that the rest of the remains were gathered and transported to a facility where authorities could “spread it out and empty that truck."

"We were able to find some small other pieces of bone," he adds.

Breedlove says the investigation into the case, which he describes as unique, is ongoing.

Caleb Harris' family says death was 'not an accident' after autopsy​

An official autopsy report for the death of college student Caleb Harris has led to more questions than answers. Medical examiners have listed Harris' death as "undetermined," but the family says his death was "not an accident."

The Nueces County Medical Examiner said there does not appear to be any evidence of a homicide or traumatic injury. A toxicology analysis was also run and came back negative.

"After a complete autopsy examination, including toxicologic analysis and microscopic examination. . . . it is our opinion that the cause of death of Caleb Wilson Harris, a 21-year-old male, cannot be determined with certainty," states the autopsy report, obtained by MySA."Hence, the cause and manner of death are classified as undetermined at this time."

The report states that the state of decomposition in which the remains were discovered could be obscuring "subtle injuries and/or additional significant natural disease" and that the "exact details leading up to the terminal event and death are currently unclear."

It also states that the office's findings can change if further relevant information becomes available in the future.


The Harris family told MySA they are continuing to work with law enforcement as the investigation is "100% ongoing."

"There are no updates at this point, but we fully believe this is a homicide and not an accident," Randy Harris told MySA.

Note: Toxicology came back negative to the drugs they actually test for. We've had a local case a few years ago where a later test for a specific drug that isn't on a normal panel came back positive and I do believe it was a hallucinogenic. There are so many things they do NOT test for unless they have a very specific drug to look for. "Hallucinogenic" is a very broad term that could be hundreds of different things (using this as an example since it's been rumored he might have been using those).

Just an observation.
