A Chula Vista man whose wife remains missing more than two years after vanishing from her home was ordered Wednesday to stand trial for her murder.
Larry Millete, 41, is charged with the murder of the mother of his three children, May"Maya" Millete, who has not been seen or heard from since Jan. 7, 2021.
As the marriage crumbled, Larry began reaching out to several members of Maya's family and asked them to convince Maya to change her mind, according to testimony. Deputy District Attorney Christy Bowles argued Wednesday there was no evidence to suggest Maya was still alive, nor that she would voluntarily abandon her family, particularly her children. The prosecutor noted a text exchange between Maya and Larry in which Maya says she wanted to leave the marriage and was"only here for the kids."
Larry told investigators that he was at Solana Beach all day with his son, according to testimony. Det. Jesse Vicente of the Chula Vista Police Department testified that investigators could not find any evidence confirming that Millete was at the beach that day. Martinez said Larry had threatened to reopen an investigation at Maya's prior workplace, the Navy's Southwest Regional Maintenance Center, regarding the alleged office affair."She was in a tight spot. She has to disappear," Martinez said.
