Maybe through the vent stack on the roof..?

Good point. The 12 gauge is probably the best choice. 🙂

How about removing the strainer on the shower floor so it can get out, then set some traps?
I would set several in case he is not alone.

Might lead to some other minor problems, but I. Like it!:B

Seriously....I would open the valves and then take an air hose or water hose and snake it in there. If you flood and drown the bastard you may end up with a dead sewer rat clog of epic proportions, especially in the gray tank with 1-1/2" or 2" drain.

I would fill and empty the holding tanks a few times. Maybe that will flush it out?
