Student from New Braunfels missing for a week

Corpus Christi police are looking for a 21-year-old college student from New Braunfels who hasn't been seen since last week.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Corpus Christi Police are searching for a 21-year-old student from New Braunfels who disappeared last week.

Caleb Harris has been missing since the early morning of March 4.

The Texas A&M Corpus Christi student was last seen near his apartment complex on the 1900 block of Ennis Joslin Road.

His parents, Randy and Becky Harris, said he had a good day fishing on Sunday, and that night, he was getting ready for the week, ordered food, and took the dog out.

"Sometime between 2 and 3 in the morning, he just vanished, and his Uber Eats was still at the door," Becky said.

"At 2:44, he was walking the dog, and there's a timestamp from Snapchat where he had sent a video of the dog to my daughter. Then at 2:59 is when the phone was shut off or went dead," Randy said.

Later in the morning, his roommates couldn't find him.

He left behind his keys and wallet. He did have his phone, but it was turned off, which is unlike him.

"There's not a whole lot of clues to anything. He literally just vanished," Randy said.

"This is a parent's worst nightmare, but we are hopeful, and we have had a lot of people rally around us and pray for us and take care of us. We are also in the midst of being on our knees in prayer and just hoping that he is revealed and comes back to us, safe and sound," Becky said.

Missing in Texas: Mark Kilroy

March 14, 2024, marks 35 years since the kidnapping and gruesome murder of Mark Kilroy, a UT Austin student, in Matamoros, Mexico.

Caleb's parents say he loves to fish and is a joyful person.

"He's just a great kid. He's very likable. He's very friendly. He is always willing to help at the drop of a hat for anybody," Becky said.

"Just a very well-rounded person, and a person of faith. I mean, he knows Jesus," Randy said.
