The Disappearance: A Timeline of the Unexplained
The sequence of events leading up to Caleb Harris’s disappearance is highly unusual, centered around a simple late-night food order. The Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) has worked to piece together the final known moments of the TAMUCC student.
The Night of March 3rd and Morning of March 4th, 2024
Caleb was reportedly at his apartment with roommates and a friend. The atmosphere was casual and normal.
- 12:56 AM: A doorbell camera in the apartment complex recorded Caleb, his two roommates, and a friend outside with the dog, indicating normal activities.
- 2:44 AM: Caleb placed an order for food through the UberEats app. This is the last recorded digital activity.
- 3:00 AM: Caleb allegedly walked out of his apartment to meet the delivery driver. He did not take his phone, wallet, or keys with him. This is the last time he was seen.
When the UberEats driver arrived, Caleb was not there to pick up the order. His roommates realized he was missing later that morning, and the search began. The initial search efforts were extensive, involving local law enforcement, the Texas Rangers, and countless volunteers from the community and his hometown of New Braunfels.
Latest Developments: Remains Identification and Undetermined Cause of Death
The case saw a critical, heartbreaking breakthrough months after Caleb vanished, followed by a major update in late 2024 and early 2025.
Discovery of Remains
In the months following his disappearance, human remains were discovered in a wastewater lift station near his apartment complex. This facility, often described as a water well or wastewater facility, was a short distance from the 1900 block of Ennis Joslin Road.
The remains were later confirmed to be Caleb Harris. In a more recent update, a human rib bone found in December 2024 was also identified as belonging to Caleb, suggesting the difficulty authorities faced in recovering all remains from the harsh environment of the lift station.
The Undetermined Death Ruling
The most shocking and frustrating update for the family and investigators came with the release of the autopsy results. The Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office stated that the cause and manner of death remain undetermined. This means that based on the forensic evidence, authorities could not definitively conclude whether Caleb’s death was a homicide, suicide, or an accident.
The lack of a definitive cause of death has created a vacuum of speculation, which the Corpus Christi Police Department (CCPD) continues to investigate. The CCPD has not officially ruled out foul play, but the undetermined status means the case lacks the clear direction a homicide ruling would provide.
The Harris Family’s Stance: "Not an Accident"
Despite the official medical examiner's report, the Harris family has maintained a strong public position that Caleb’s death was "not an accident". They believe someone is responsible for the death of the 21-year-old New Braunfels native.
Caleb’s father, mother, and other family members have expressed skepticism that Caleb could have simply fallen into the deep, confined space of the wastewater lift station without some form of intervention or struggle. Their public statements have kept the pressure on the CCPD to continue its investigation into the possibility of foul play.
The $50,000 Reward and Ongoing Search for Answers
In an effort to generate new leads and information, the Harris family significantly increased the reward for information leading to a resolution in the case. The reward was doubled from $25,000 to $50,000.
This substantial reward highlights the family's dedication to finding the truth about Caleb’s final moments. Even after the identification of his remains, the reward remains active for information that can clarify the circumstances surrounding his undetermined death. Entities involved in the ongoing investigation include the CCPD, the Texas Rangers, and various private search groups and advocacy organizations.
The Caleb Harris case is a devastating example of a mystery that continues long after the initial search has ended. The community and the Harris family hold onto the hope that the $50,000 reward and continued public attention will finally bring forward the evidence needed to determine what truly happened to the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi student on that fateful morning in March 2024.
