She wanted a divorce. Then she vanished without a trace. Did her husband kill her?
Five long years after Maya Millete disappeared, her husband, Larry Millete, finally stands trial for her murder. But the big question pervading this case remains: Can the prosecution prove murder without a body?
I am inside the courtroom for this extraordinary, emotional, and heartbreaking trial, providing my legal analysis and insight on Fox 5 and KUSI News almost daily as the dramatic case unfolds. From Larry’s escalating obsession with Maya and disturbing stalking behavior, to Maya’s secret affair with a married co-worker, Larry’s shocking and endless requests to spellcasters, to the deadly poisonous hemlock found in the Millete home, and Larry’s attempts to hire a hitman, this case is filled with chilling revelations at every turn.
As Maya prepared to leave Larry for good, his desperation reached a breaking point, setting the stage for a devastating outcome. Her last phone call to a divorce law firm, followed by her sudden disappearance and unknown whereabouts, adds continuing mystery and heartbreak.
Will the evidence be enough to convince a jury that Larry Millete murdered his wife to keep her from leaving him? Or will the absence of Maya’s body create reasonable doubt? What will the jury decide?
I am witnessing this gripping legal battle firsthand, and am sharing my expertise into the legal issues, the evidence, the testimony, the courtroom drama, and the humanity that makes this case so compelling. It is a trial marked by obsession, betrayal, deadly plots, and shocking twists, and the uncertainty of what the jury will decide. Yet the haunting questions remain: Where is Maya Millete? Will she ever be found?
