Woman Who Vanished on 9/11: The Mystery Still Unsolved Today

Michele Harris, a mother of four who disappeared in the early hours of September 12, 2001, remains missing nearly 25 years after four criminal trials left her case unsolved. She vanished from outside her rural home in Spencer, New York, shortly after the September 11 attacks. Her husband, Calvin Harris, faced murder charges four times: two convictions were overturned—one over evidence and another due to a jury-selection issue—while a third trial ended in a deadlocked jury and a fourth resulted in a judge finding him not guilty. Two private investigators now believe they’re closest yet to resolving the mystery, focusing on a burn pit near where she was last seen.
