The record was compiled from interviews with Harris' roommates, friends and family, as well as hours of surveillance camera footage that was captured on the grounds of the New Braunfels man's off-campus apartment complex, the Cottages at Corpus Christi, where he lived with roommates. Police continue an intense behind-the-scenes investigation in cooperation with state and federal partners.

"Detectives have learned that Harris spent the evening hours of Sunday, March 3 inside his off-campus apartment on the 1900 block of Ennis Joslin Road, along with his two roommates and a mutual friend," wrote CCPD senior officer Jennifer Collier on the CCPD blotter.

Harris and his friend played video games online for over an hour with another former high school classmate who currently resides in Colorado, the officer wrote.

At approximately 12:56 a.m. on Monday, March 4, a doorbell camera at a nearby apartment revealed Harris, his friend and one of Harris’ roommates in the parking lot playing with a puppy belonging to the girlfriend of one of his roommates, the report stated.

The report described a sequence of events that followed in quick succession, with three young men then returning to Harris’ apartment and the mutual friend leaving shortly afterward. At about 2:20 a.m., the second of Harris’ two roommates informed Harris that he (the roommate) was going to bed. Harris replied that he was going to stay up to order snacks via UberEats for his school lunch later that day (Monday).

At about 2:44 a.m., Harris shared a Snapchat video with his younger sister that depicted him walking the puppy through what appeared to be the apartment complex parking lot. At about 3:03 a.m., he sent another Snapchat photo to a high school friend currently living in San Antonio that depicted a small bridge over a drainage ditch on the 1900 block of Ennis Joslin, within a few hundred feet of the entrance to the apartment complex.

Photos of the bridge have been circulating online through social media posts in the last week and are among the unofficial pictures, snapchats, and chat logs published by friends, acquaintances and strangers who have become involved in the search and rescue effort for Harris in parallel to the official police investigation as speculation foments about Harris' whereabouts.

The student's last known location was confirmed by data that his cell phone shared with the nearest cell phone tower at 3:12 a.m.

An UberEats driver delivered food to his apartment, leaving it outside near the front door as it was requested.

The investigators' notes do not confirm when the dog that Harris had been walking was returned to the apartment, nor why the young man's keys and wallet were left in the apartment at the time he went missing.

His roommates called CCPD to report Harris missing after one of them found the UberEats order sitting outside the front door at 11 a.m. Monday morning and went looking for him for a short time. Harris' pickup truck was parked in front of the apartment. The roommates described him as a homebody and a creature of habit and were alarmed by his absence.

After he was reported missing, the initial responding officer, after having obtained the information from the roommates, immediately checked all local hospitals for any unidentified patients matching the student's description without finding any.

The March 28 report elaborated on how police determined, from a preliminary search of the apartment complex and the immediate area surrounding it, that there were no signs of a struggle or violence, nor any indication of a hit and run accident on the roads nearby, and that the officer ensured that Harris was entered into the national computer database as a missing person.

Police then began door to door search at apartment complex
