$100,000 Reward Offered for Information on Michele Harris' Remains
In a heartfelt plea for information, Cal Harris and his family are offering a substantial reward of
$100,000 for tips leading directly to the recovery of the remains of his wife,
Michele Anne Harris, who has been missing since
September 12, 2001. This announcement serves as an enduring call to the public as the timeline stretches well into 24 years of unanswered questions.
Michele was last seen at her home in
New York, outside her van, in the early hours of that September day. Eyewitnesses reported an ongoing argument between her and an unidentified man, shortly before she vanished. The Harris family continues to mourn her absence, with her four children desperately seeking closure and the chance for a proper burial.
Background on the Case
Michele's disappearance has drawn attention due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding it. Her van was found unattended by a family housekeeper, and a small bag of jewelry valued between
$15,000 to $20,000, including items such as a diamond ring and pearl earrings, was also reported missing. Since that fateful day, families often weigh the heaviness of uncertainty as they navigate life without their loved ones, but this family’s plight is particularly harrowing given the longevity of their search.
Cal Harris's resolve to offer this reward is not contingent on anyone being prosecuted for Michele’s presumed murder. He hopes to appeal to anyone with knowledge concerning the case, particularly individuals who may now reside in
Kermit or
Huntsville, Texas—areas believed to bear some vital clues regarding her disappearance.
The Reward Details
The reward of
$100,000 will be given to the first person who can provide credible information leading to the positive identification and recovery of Michele Harris's remains. However, those with a legal duty to report such information, including law enforcement officials, are not eligible for this reward.
To ensure a smooth process, the reward may be equitably divided amongst multiple individuals who provide valuable information. This offer will remain accessible until her remains are discovered or until the family should decide to withdraw it. Individuals can share tips confidentially through the established website,
findmicheleharris.com, or by calling
(888) 644-0889. The family emphasizes the importance of maintaining the privacy of all individuals who step forward with information.

Handling this sensitive case with the utmost care is the law firm of
Barket Epstein, which is known for its expertise in criminal defense and personal injury. With practitioners who have extensive experience in the legal system, including former prosecutors and judges, the firm is well-equipped to navigate the complexities of this matter.
Cal Harris's hope is that through this appeal, anyone with pertinent information will feel compelled to come forward, facilitating a step towards closure for the whole family. After enduring two decades of uncertainty and heartache, the Harris family remains committed to finding Michele and ensuring she receives the ceremonial farewell she deserves.
As the spotlight again casts light on Michele's case, the family yearns for the respect and support of the public in solving this long-standing mystery. Whether you're situated in
