I think I read that they had to drain the lift station in order to recover the remains, so I wonder if they suction it out through a large hose into a holding truck and it was taken to the main plant? If so, maybe they filtered that while unloading and found more of the remains?
There is an interactive map publicly available of all the wastewater mains in CC and it gives the size of each pipe.
We knew he was dead, no matter the scenario, so I do think accident is the easiest outcome to accept. I fear however that there are going to be many unanswered questions, and a lingering mystery as to how this occurred. So there's added pain in that, and in the possibility that this was not a quick death.
Seeing this visual of the actual pump station is shocking to me. Right when I saw that gate I knew it was NOT secure. Look at that huge gap under the gate on both sides. Sure there is fencing and barbed wire on top but…. if I was going to try and get on the other side of that gate I’m going under it and not over it. JMO. But I wouldn’t think anyone would want to make their way in there.

I guess if there is an obvious sign of foul play on the body (gunshot wound, is bound etc.) that could not have occured by falling.
It does seem an extremely impractical way to get rid of a body, true.
But also, is there a chance this perpetrator knew the searches were over and even lived locally? So knew when the best time would be to drop the body, as well as feeling reassured that by the time it was found, there would be little evidence left. Especially forensic or DNA evidence. The fact it’s so close to the house suggests someone has “staged” this to look like misadventure, after keeping tabs on when this search ended. A bit of a stretch maybe, and all MOO.
I think he stumbled into an open hole late at night when he couldn't see it. Once down the hole, he couldn't get out. Workers might have noticed the open access and later closed it, without realizing, of course, that someone was down there.
It’s possible. I sure hope law enforcement and forensics will have some way of determining if it’s natural accident or something more sinister. Whether Caleb or some other unfortunate individual, it needs to be determined.
That’s the question. If it’s Caleb, what was he doing there, how and why?

Perhaps because the perpetrator couldn't be gone/missed without for very long which would cause suspicion. If he was put into the manhole, perhaps the smell from the manhole would confuse scent dogs and also if he was carried to the manhole, there would be no ground sent for dogs to track.
