Human remains found near missing Texas student's apartment

Human remains discovered in a 40-foot well near where a Texas A&M student disappeared in March show “no obvious signs of homicide,” Corpus Christi police said Wednesday.

Detectives are trying to determine how body parts discovered by Texas City Water workers Monday afternoon ended up in the sewage pumping station — and whether they belong to missing 21-year-old Caleb Harris.

Authorities have so far been unable to identify the remains “due to the advanced state of decomposition.” They were sent to the University of North Texas Human Identification Center for DNA analysis.

The identification process could take up to six weeks, according to the San Antonio NBC affiliate.

Harris, a 21-year-old student at Texas A&M–Corpus Christi, was last heard from around 3 a.m. on March 4 when he placed an Uber Eats order and then took a friend's dog for a walk, according to the Beaumont Enterprise.

During this walk, he allegedly sent several Snapchat videos to family and friends, one of which appeared to show a small bridge over a drainage ditch near his off-campus apartment, approximately 1.6 km from Monday's horrible discovery.

Her Uber Eats order was reportedly dropped off around 3:20 p.m. and left outside her apartment, as per her request. Harris' roommate said he found the order near their front door the next day, but couldn't explain Harris.

His keys and wallet had been left at the apartment and his truck was in the parking lot, Harris' father said.

Police say they canvassed the area to no avail in the weeks that followed, according to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times.
