The baffling disappearance of a Texas A&M University student, Caleb Harris, has gripped Corpus Christi as local police and the community continue the search. Harris, aged 21, was last spotted on March 4 at an off-campus apartment complex known to cater to A&M students. According to Rachel Gomez, who is the mother of Harris' roommate, her son's friend went missing after being seen in their residence around 2:30 a.m. All he apparently took with him was his phone. "His wallet and truck are still at the apartment," Gomez posted on Facebook, noting the urgency of locating the young man.

A witness, Denise Hall - the mother of another roommate, shared that Harris might have stepped outside to retrieve an Uber Eats order. "He took his dog for a walk, brought the dog back in and stepped back out of the apartment possibly to pick up Uber Eats or one of those type of things to pick up food for Tuesday at school," she posted on a missing persons forum. By 3 a.m., Harris' cellphone was off, and it has not been turned back on since.

Authorities and volunteers have mounted a formidable search operation. "Corpus Christi Police Department is all over town doing door-to-door searches, spot searches for any kind of tips that come up [and] anything that comes in, they're on it immediately," Caleb's father, Randy Harris, told Fox San Antonio. Bloodhound searches and Coast Guard helicopter patrols have also been part of the extensive efforts.

The Corpus Christi community and the university have rallied behind Harris' family in solidarity. Texas A&M University has taken to social media, expressing hope for Harris' safe return and urging the public to keep him and his family in their thoughts. Randy Harris remains hopeful, rooted in his belief and faith, "I still believe he's alive somewhere and it's really hard to understand," he stated in a poignant testament to a parent's unwavering hope.

As the search intensifies, misinformation on social media has become a concern. Randy Harris has warned the public to be wary, clarifying, "None of the other pages are sponsored by us. We don't know anything about them and quite frankly, we're not even looking at them." The Corpus Christi Crime Stoppers and the Harris family urge anyone with information regarding Caleb Harris' disappearance to contact the authorities immediately, as each passing moment is critical in piecing together the whereabouts of the missing student.
