    FILE 001: Caleb Harris (Corpus Christi, TX) — The Wet Well


    On March 4, 2024, 21-year-old college student Caleb Harris vanished from his off‑campus apartment during foggy early‑morning hours. His belongings were left behind… and an UberEats order sat outside, untouched.


    Then the case takes a hard left into something no one expects: months later, city workers report human remains recovered from a wastewater “wet well” roughly 40 feet deep—retrieved in hazmat suits. And just when it feels like the file should finally close, the system gives up one more piece: a separate bone found at the recycling plant where the wet well’s contents were transported, confirmed in March 2025.


    In this audio case file, Author Dave walks the verified timeline and official updates—and focuses on the one question that refuses to die: how does a person end up inside the machinery of a city… with no clear cause of death and no definitive answer for how it happened?


    Content warning: missing persons, death, human remains.

    Listener discretion advised.
