The disappearance of Maya Millete from her Chula Vista home in January 2021 sparked a multi-year investigation that ultimately led to the conviction of her husband, Larry Millete. Despite Maya's body never being found, prosecutors presented compelling circumstantial evidence, including cell phone data, neighborhood surveillance footage capturing suspicious noises, and Larry's obsessive behavior involving online spellcasters and poison hemlock. During the 2026 trial, testimonies from Maya's secret romantic partner and a cell phone expert helped establish a motive tied to Maya's desire for a divorce, countering the defense's claims of innocence and alternative theories. Ultimately, a jury found Larry guilty of first-degree murder, resulting in a sentence of 25 years to life in prison. While this verdict brought a measure of legal justice for Maya's family and children, the persistent mystery of her final resting place remains unresolved.
