Case[]
Maya was last seen on January 7 at 5 p.m. at her house on 2400 block of Paseo Los Gatos in Chula Vista. She had called a divorce lawyer earlier that day. Maya was a victim of domestic abuse, and was seeing a divorce after Larry discovered that she had an affair. Later on, an audio clip from January 7th at Maya's house was released, and several gunshots can be heard. The family had planned a trip for one of the children's birthday's that was supposed to take place a few days later. The surveillance footage from that night shows her husband positioning a car to a place that would not be shown on camera. On January 9th, Maya's sister, Maricris Drouaillet, calls the Chula Vista police department to report her missing. Around 1 a.m. on January 10, police arrived at the Millete home to investigate the disappearance. They then learned that Maya had already been missing for three days. The search for her began immediately there after. Over the next few months, the Millete's home and the area were searched several times looking for Maya. Despite all of the searches, Maya was not found.
In February 2021, Larry stopped cooperating with authorities, and stopped searching for his wife. In July 2021, Larry was named a person of interest in Maya's disappearance. On October 19, 2021, Larry Millete was charged with Maya's murder. His trial is set for January 2024.
