Summary
Missing mom Maya Millete VANISHES planning daughter's birthday party. Now, her 40-year-old husband, Larry, has been arrested and charged with her murder, but her body is still missing.
The 39-year-old mom of three has been missing since January 2021. Larry Millete tells police they had an argument on January 7, 2021. That's the last time Maya was seen.
Reports say the husband allegedly devised a murder-for-hire plot targeting his wife’s suspected boyfriend. A source tells Fox News that they frequently heard Larry Millete discuss paying $20,000 to kill Maya Millete's Alleged beau.
Reports indicate that Maya Millete had scheduled an appointment with a divorce attorney the same day she disappeared. She tells family members, "If anything happened to me, it would be Larry.”
Prosecutors believe her. Husband Larry Millete charged with murder, now on trial at the South County courthouse in Chula Vista.
