Who abandons their truck at a stoplight, with the engine running and their wallet still inside the cab? Why would an openly gay black man do that in a small, conservative Texas town? Friends and family of Eodis Tre Harris say there is no way he would do that, but the Stonewall County Sheriff’s Department says a witness saw a black man leap from the truck and run with two dogs in tow to a field across the road. Investigators never found that man and no one has heard from Tre Harris either.

Little did Corlitta Johnson know that when she got off the phone with her son around 3:00 AM on June 15, 2021, that she would never speak with him again. Days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months.  Law enforcement did not have any answers.  Corlitta asked the Texas Rangers to join the Stonewall County Sheriff’s investigation, all the while she was doing her own sleuthing. Searches around the small town of Aspermont, Texas, turned up nothing.  Corlitta persisted and after searching Tre’s laptop she found his Facebook password had been changed on August 3, nearly two months after he was last seen and that it was done from an IP address in Corpus Christi, Texas. 

Nothing in this case makes sense, Corlitta told the Black and Missing Foundation when she reached out nearly 6 months into the search for her son. Tre’s truck was found in Aspermont on June 16, 2021 his luggage was found neatly placed on the side of the road in Paducah, Texas, and his phone last pinged June 17, 2021, near a self-storage business in the Quanah, Texas area. Three dots on a map, almost a circle.  Three small towns friends and family say Tre would avoid at all costs.
