Maya and Larry Millete are high school sweethearts married for 21 years with three children — ages 4, 9, and 11.

Maya has been missing from her Chula Vista home since last week. Millete says they had argued the night before.

"We had problems this year, up and downs," Millete told ABC 10News.

He said his wife has left before for the night to blow off steam, but he became worried when she didn't show up for their daughter's birthday on Sunday.

"If she didn't have her car, a friend would have to pick her up. That's the only reason I was like, 'maybe she's wine tasting or hiking with a friend,'" says Millete.

Maya works as a defense contractor at Naval Base San Diego and didn't show up for work on Monday.

"I called her boss, she didn't even log in. And that's the other alarming part, because work for her is like a party ... that's her outlet," Millete says.

Millete says he will continue to search, anxiously waiting.

• Maricris Cross-Examination: During questioning by the defense, Drouaillet had difficulty recalling specific dates and incidents from five years ago. She noted that Larry often blamed Maya's behaviors on a "midlife crisis," and stated she had hoped the two could repair their marriage.
• Father's Testimony: Earlier in the morning, Maya's father resumed his spot on the witness stand, following an emotional outburst in the courtroom the previous day where he screamed at Larry. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Larry Millete murder trial | No signs of struggle found during initial police search of Millete home​

Defense attorneys pressed a Chula Vista police detective Tuesday during the second week of Larry Millete's murder trial, emphasizing that officers found no signs of foul play when they first searched the family home after Maya Millete was reported missing.

Detective Ryan Culver returned to the witness stand for a second day of testimony in the South Bay courthouse. Culver was among the officers who responded to the Millete home January 9, 2021 when Maya's sister Maricris called 911 to report her missing.

During cross-examination, defense attorneys highlighted that Larry Millete cooperated fully when officers arrived at the house, that he didn't argue, the defense noted, pointing out that the Millete children were present along with Maya's sister and her husband.

The prosecution showed video from Culver's body-worn camera last week, with the detective testifying that the house was cluttered and nearly every space was occupied with things.

However, the defense spent 20 minutes emphasizing what officers didn't find during their search, pointing out the detective spent a couple of hours at the house, went through every room, went through the garage, and did not find any signs of foul play, defense attorneys said. Nothing was broken. Curtains weren't torn down. No sign of a struggle.

After Culver's testimony concluded, forensics expert David Garber took the stand. Garber helped document a search warrant executed at the Millete home several weeks after Maya was first reported missing.

Garber testified about about spots found in Larry Millete's Lexus SUV, including a cargo mat that investigators tested with something called Blue Star Luminol, which detects for blood. He determined a spot that was found on the mat could potentially be blood.

Garber also testified about the side walls of the Lexus --that he found streaking. He said it appeared a liquid had been wiped on or had streaked through in the cargo area of the SUV.

However, during cross examination, the defense pointed out the tests that were done were presumptive tests and further testing would need to be done to prove what the fluids were.

‘Get the other guy,’ Maya’s brother testifies Larry tried to hire a hitman​

Maya’s brother, Jaypie Tabalanza, said Larry Millete offered him a few thousand dollars to help “get the other guy,” which he had said he understood he meant the man Maya was having an affair with. Jaypie testified in court Wednesday that he told Larry it wasn’t worth it.

Larry’s search history and body-worn camera footage of the night police searched Larry’s vehicle after Maya’s disappearance were also displayed in court during the sixth day of the trial.

Some of Larry’s messages to spellcasters and email receipts from spells he had purchased were shown in court. The prosecution continues to try to paint a picture for the jury that Larry was desperate to keep Maya in love with him.

The prosecution said Larry was messaging Maya’s sister-in-law, Genesis, about the poisonous plant of Hemlock and wanga dolls. They also discussed Larry purchasing pheromones and subliminal messaging after searching “wife training subliminals.”
