Human remains found in a wastewater station in June were positively identified as missing Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi student Caleb Harris, the city of Corpus Christi said in a press release Wednesday evening.

City workers discovered the 21-year-old’s body in a wastewater collection well off the 5300 block of Lexington Road on June 24, about a block from his off-campus apartment where he was last seen on March 4.

The remains, in an advanced state of decomposition, were sent to the University of North Texas Center for Human Identification, where forensic analysts confirmed they belonged to Harris though DNA analysis, the release stated.

Local and national law enforcement agencies have participated in the investigation. Investigators served more than 50 digital search warrants, submitted 82 preservation requests and analyzed more than 1,500 gigabytes of data, according to the release.

Harris’ remains will be returned to the Nueces County Medical Examiner’s Office for a final autopsy report.

The investigation remains open and police encourage anyone with information to contact the department’s Criminal Investigation Division at 361-826-2840 or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at 888-TIPS (888-8477).
