Horror as human remains are found in a 40ft well near missing Texas student Caleb Harris’ apartment after he disappeared in March when he went to pick up an Uber Eats order at 3am

Human remains have been discovered in a 40-foot pit near the missing apartment of Texas student Caleb Harris, months after he disappeared while picking up a food delivery.

The remains were found by Corpus Christi, Texas, city workers performing routine maintenance on a 40-foot-deep well at the Perry Point wastewater collection point Monday, according to a statement from Corpus Christi Police.

The Corpus Christi Caller-Times said the pit had been emptied so emergency services could descend into it and retrieve the remains.

There were reportedly “no obvious signs” of homicide, but the remains were transported to the Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office for examination and identification, police said.

The age and sex of the body are not known.

Detectives are investigating how the remains ended up in the well.

The remains were found near the missing apartment of 21-year-old Caleb Harris, a sophomore at Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi, who disappeared on March 4 without his shoes, wallet and keys.

In the early hours of March 4, he had gone down to collect an Uber Eats delivery from his home in Corpus Christie but never returned.

His roommate found the order outside the apartment door the next day. He was reported missing at 11am.

The 21-year-old had spent the evening playing with a dog that had just been bought by one of his two roommates and had been sending Snapchats to his sister until just before he disappeared.

His Snapchat app pinged his last location to the entrance of The Cottages, an off-campus dorm in Corpus Christi.

Uber says the order was delivered to the door of the apartment building on Ennis Joslin Road and there was no sign of Harris turning off his phone seconds earlier.

“He basically disappeared without a trace,” father Randy Harris said after his disappearance. “There is no evidence of any wrongdoing, but there is also no evidence at all.”

Police and Harris’ family have been desperately searching for the student since his disappearance a few months ago.
