A LOVING WIFE AND MOTHER DISAPPEARS WITHOUT A TRACE FROM HER UPSTATE NEW YORK HOME THE DAY AFTER 9/11 -- WAS THIS THE PERFECT TIME FOR A CRIME -- "48 HOURS MYSTERY" ON SATURDAY, NOV. 3
To the outside world, Michele and Calvin Harris had a perfect life - they were young, attractive and successful with a beautiful family and a home in a picturesque upstate New York town. But Michele's disappearance in the early morning hours of Sept. 12, 2001 revealed a much darker story. With much of New York State Police and canine forces diverted to New York City in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, local investigators were slowed by the limited resources available to them. Was this the perfect time for murder?
Michele's disappearance remained shrouded in mystery until state police discovered tiny drops of blood in the Harris home. After four years, with no body or murder weapon, investigators felt they had enough circumstantial evidence and arrested Calvin Harris for Michele's murder. In May 2007, the case went to trial, but even after the jury's verdict, the final outcome of this story remains a mystery.
