After his mother's death, Caleb stayed in the house on Pitch Pine Crescent. But he took precautions. He changed the locks, made a will, and got a dog, a German shepherd named Daisy. Caleb had a dark sense of humor, and he sometimes joked that he'd be the next one to end up dead. But he didn't have time to dwell on his fears. He was a single dad now, with sole custody. Melissa had supervised visitation, but Caleb was in charge. Something shifted in him after Bridget died. He stepped up. He coached his kids' sports teams. He hired a piano teacher and a tutor because he knew it would have made his parents proud. He also had a girlfriend with two kids of her own. and she was planning to move in soon. All those years of conflict with his mom, and she never got to see the version of him that finally found his way.
One morning in August 2013, a little over two years after Bridget died, Caleb didn't show up for work. His coworkers were concerned. One of them, a guy named Paolo Zaffino, drove to Pitch Pine Crescent to check on him. Paolo knocked on the door around noon, and a cleaning lady answered. She'd been there for three hours, scrubbing and vacuuming the main floor. She hadn't gone upstairs. Paolo went up to check on his friend. The room was dark, and Caleb was in bed, with the blankets pulled up to his chin. He had an eye mask on and a pillow over his forehead. He looked like he'd been tucked in to sleep. Paolo approached the bed, calling his name, but Caleb didn't answer. Paolo pressed two fingers to his friend's neck.
It was ice cold.
Officers went door to door in Mississauga today looking for information about Caleb Harrison. The father of two was found dead inside his home this weekend. Police are now investigating if Harrison's death and his mother's are connected. We haven't linked anything. However, everything is on the table.
For the third time in just over four years... Pitch Pine Crescent had become a spectacle. One of the paramedics who arrived at the house felt an eerie sense of dread. He said to his partner, I've been here before. He'd been called to the scene when Bridget died. The flashing lights of police cars on Pitch Pine Crescent brought neighbors outside. The commotion set off a chain reaction of telephone calls. One neighbor phoned a friend who phoned Pam Main.
She said, I just heard a rumor that Caleb died. I was angry because after all that had gone on, I said, you need to either squelch the rumor or figure out if it's true. So I said, I'm calling Liz right away. Caleb's aunt. So I call Liz and she's waiting for a cab to go visit her daughter in New York. And I'm beating around the bush trying to, obviously she didn't know. Finally, she said to me, is everything all right? And I said, well, I don't think so. I think Caleb has died. I said, here's what I've heard. So she immediately drove over to Pitch Pine. and phoned me and said, yes.
Three death scenes and Liz had been to all of them. She'd been here with Bridget when Bill died. She'd been with Caleb after Bridget died. Now there was no one left.
I was in tears and in a mess.
Imagine living with suspicion for years, and then the thing you think you're being paranoid about happens again. Liz was with another relative of Caleb's, Aunt Carol.
We went over to the driveway, and they said we couldn't go in.
