May "Maya" Millete, a 39-year-old mother of three, was last seen on January 7, 2021, at her home in Chula Vista, California. Her disappearance quickly garnered public attention as her family and friends grew concerned when she did not respond to messages or attend her daughter’s birthday party. Maya was known for being close with her family, which made her sudden lack of communication particularly alarming.
Prior to her disappearance, there had been tension in Maya's marriage. According to reports, her relationship with her husband, Larry Millete, had become strained. Maya had reportedly been considering a divorce, and friends noted that Larry exhibited increasingly controlling behavior. Despite this, Larry Millete initially told investigators that he believed Maya had left voluntarily. However, her car, phone, and credit cards were all found at the family home, raising suspicions.
The investigation intensified as months passed with no sign of Maya. In October 2021, Larry Millete was arrested and charged with her murder, although her body has not been found. Prosecutors allege that Larry became desperate to stop Maya from leaving him, even reaching out to people online for "spells" to make her stay. Despite the charges against him, Larry has pleaded not guilty, and the search for Maya continues. Her family remains hopeful for answers and closure.Last Seen: Jan 7, 2021
