Unidentified human remains were found near the apartment where 21-year-old Caleb Harris, a missing Texas college student, was last seen before he disappeared on March 4.

The discovery was made by a city employee in Corpus Christi, Texas, on Monday, June 24, in a 40-foot-deep well. The Corpus Christi Police Department was alerted around 3:30 p.m. local time. The well, a wastewater collection point, is close to Harris’s off-campus apartment, as reported by various local news outlets.
