Harris is a resident of Fort Worth, Texas and worked as a special education teacher. 

He called his mother at about 3:00 a.m. and said he was outside walking his dog, which his mother found odd given the time of day it was, but she didn't notice anything else unusual during their conversation.

He tried to call her again at 4:00 a.m., but she missed the call. When she called him back at 7:45 a.m., he didn't answer. She kept trying to call him, but the phone would go straight to voicemail. 

He continued to post on his Facebook page until the next day. He has never been heard from again.

On June 16, 2021 Harris' blue 2020 GMC pickup truck was found abandoned at a stoplight on U.S. 83 south of Aspermont, Texas, three hours from Fort Worth. It was operable and his keys and wallet were left inside it. 

Two witnesses on U.S. 83 said they'd seen a black male getting out of the truck at 9:00 a.m. and walking southbound with two dogs. The police returned the vehicle to his family without having it processed for evidence.

Harris's dogs were later found dead near where the truck had been abandoned. The last time his cellular phone pinged was on June 17, 2021; it was in the Quanah, Texas area. 

After his disappearance, his suitcase was found lying undamaged on the side of the road in Paducah, Texas.
