TX TX - Caleb Harris, 21, Texas A&M University student, Corpus Christi, 4 Mar 2024 #4

Still such a tall order, to get a shroomed-out Caleb from somewhere in the middle of a plowed-under cornfield, down a manhole and drifting along in a 15-inch-diameter intake pipe, through the small filter screen at the bottom of the 40-foot-deep lift station and up into the wet well chamber, where his body then languishes undetected for more than four months because, for some reason, it is unable to pass through the 18-inch-diameter outbound pipe. The array of things that need to happen to make any of this feasible simply beggar belief, IMO. Not to mention there is no LE confirmation of any of it.

While waiting for identification of the remains, I've been contemplating various elements of this case and I'm struck by how far-fetched some of them are, how strikingly improbable. I'm going to try to build a list of them in another post, just for what the hey.

Where is the suggestion that Caleb could've been on mushrooms coming from? Is that just a theory? Seems unlikely to me because he was planning to go to class in a few hours and then go fishing. IIRC he had a test to take in his class. And he was excited about the fishing trip. I can't see him doing something to disrupt his day like that. His Dad said Caleb was very organized and liked to plan things out. It seems out of character from what his Dad has told us about Caleb.

My understanding is that it is just a rumor that has been stated as a fact by Gray Hughes on one of his youtube segments recently. Not confirmed by LE or anyone else, except for GH, as I understand it. If GH has a source for this, he hasn't gone public with his source. So just a rumor, IMO.

The shrooms notion surfaced in one of the two latest Gray Hughes Investigates videos a couple of days ago. IMO, his sourcing was too dependent on SM commentary and therefore less than credible.

It’s a tricky situation for us here at WS because Gray Hughes Investigates YT is an approved site, yet on it he showed and discussed a post from Caleb’s Missing FB page that is Private status, so bringing the FB Missing page stuff here directly isn’t allowed. At least, that’s my understanding. MOO

@JenniferTx , I appreciate your view as a local, because some others here have said it is a beach town, so no shoes is not unusual. It seemed maybe not too unusual for him to be barefoot within his apt complex grounds, but walking around outside through fields and beyond sounds odd to me.

@shetalksinstereo , heh, I often do that, too.

I seem to recall Caleb’s dad saying Caleb is barefoot in the doorbell video and also in the Snapchat video he sent to his sister walking the dog, but I sure couldn’t see his feet to be able to tell.

As long as Caleb was on a hard surface like the pavement in the parking lot or a concrete sidewalk I can see it too. I do it sometimes myself, and I also live on the Gulf Coast.

But IMHO no one would walk willingly into a field full of corn stalks,rocks,etc, especially at night. That would be so painful and dangerous at any time of the year.

That's why I discount him. His use of rumors and less than credible sources just muddies the water. I do not find him useful at all.

I don't understand why he is an approved source....since he consistently uses unreliable information. It conflict with what is normally allowed.

Regarding the FB Missing page for Caleb that GH is relying on, it’s a page that was approved by the Harris family, as I understand, and possibly some family posts there. I am not positive, though. It used to be a Public page but it was changed to Private some time ago. MOO

According to one of Gray’s sources, and repeated by one of the admins for the official Caleb Facebook group, Caleb had been failing his classes, had his job offer in Alaska rescinded, and used mushrooms recreationally.

It appears his parents were at least partially in the dark about all of this, if it is in fact true.

I do think there is truth to it, as those were the very questions I was asking when he first disappeared. Abduction was incredibly unlikely (with great difficulty my view changed based on the alleged Reddit), and an accident seemed to make the most sense.

Now I’m back where I started, but the question remains as to how he could have found himself where he wound up.

Being intoxicated opens up a lot more doors, but doesn’t fully explain the circumstances.
