Cal Harris is living his life today being out of the bar and found not guilty in the case of his wife, Michele Anne Harris’s disappearance.
When Michele Anne disappeared suddenly, Cal was the first person police took into custody. It has been more than two-decade since she disappeared without a trace.
On September 11, 2001, Michele Anne left her workplace and visited her boyfriend, and left around 11 pm for home. That was the last time she was seen, and her car was found near her home.
Numerous witnesses said her husband was violent to her and had even threatened to murder her. Based on that, Cal was arrested in 2005 and charged with second-degree murder.
In 2019, a judge ordered Tioga County and the DA’s office to respond to Cal’s lawsuit, while in 2020, private investigator David Beers published his account of the case on his innocence.
Cal Harris was convicted in two trials but, a third trial ended in a hung jury. He was acquitted of murder in a non-jury trial in 2016. To this day, there are questions about Michele’s body.

Although Cal Harris was acquitted of all murder charges, he found himself facing other legal issues as a few weeks after his fourth trial; Cal was arrested on stalking charges. Prosecutors even added menacing and harassment charges, and even though Cal pleaded not guilty, a court convicted him of harassment.
In 2017, Cal filed a malicious prosecution lawsuit against Tioga County, the police, the DA’s office, and other people involved in the investigation, claiming they had altered evidence to accuse him.
However, his troubles with the law weren’t over, as, in the same year, Cal was also arrested for driving under the influence after being accused of causing an accident on Interstate 81.
In 2019, a judge ordered Tioga County and the DA’s office to respond to Cal’s lawsuit, while in 2020, private investigator David Beers published his account of the case where he spoke about Cal’s innocence. Although the lawsuit is still being fought actively in court, Cal now leads a life of privacy. He lives in Owego, New York.
