Husband fears for missing Chula Vista wife, mom of three

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

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.

It used to be if they had the mental capacity to try to cover up a murder, they were not legally insane. When did that change?

I don't know but I don't like it. Who needs expert and time consuming expensive assessments when if they covered it up, as you say, they are not insane by the legal standard as they know right from wrong. Duh. Are the judges saying otherwise now or has the standard changed or something? In my opinion, it is almost wicked how far the rights of the defendant have gone and how it sh*ts on the few (if any) rights of the victims' families and the victims themselves!

Mental competency exam for Larry Millete pushed back until September 26

Larry Millete is charged with the murder of his wife, Maya. She was last seen in January 2021 at her Chula Vista home.

Mental competency exam for Larry Millete pushed back until September 26​

There was another setback for the family of missing Chula Vista mom, Maya Millete.

The family was hoping to find out Monday afternoon if Maya's husband, Larry Millete had been deemed mentally fit to stand trial in her murder.

Instead, the hearing was pushed back until September 26Th so doctors have more time to evaluate Millete.

Maya's sister says every delay makes the loss of Maya even more painful.

"Wish it can be done sooner, I mean it's been a year and a half since my sister has been missing," said Maricris Droullete.


The trial was supposed to start in June, but Larry's attorney raised doubt about his mental status. Maya's family says that came as a shock to them.

"He seemed normal all of a sudden he's not capable of speaking or stepping into trial for something that he did, seems like he's backpedaling and now he's trying to protect himself, it's ridiculous to me," said Richard Droullete.

Despite the charges, Maya's sister says seeing Larry in court doesn't get any easier.

"He was family to us for twenty years. He was family, it's really heartbreaking to see him," said Maricris.

This stuff has to stop. They are fine one minute and incompetent the next! Or at least granted the chance to take major time to find out if they are. One minute they are hiding evidence or taunting cops and family and then they are doing this!

I will say it again and have before: OUR SYSTEM IS BROKEN!

Revictimization!!! That's all we see!! And for future reference when I say victim, the families ARE victims.

Try them!!! Let them get evaluated prior to deciding which prison or hospital to send them to first on sentencing! THEN the time taken up would be AFTER the fact and not while the family suffers wondering about justice!!

I know the arguments that would be made and I don't care. If they can hide evidence or cover up and IF they KILL and there is enough evidence to try them then DO IT and then evaluate them as to where they are GOING AWAY. Even if incompetent, they KILLED and shouldn't be on the streets!

I'm so sick of this s**t too. So I guess because I have struggled with mental health I can go out and kill someone too. Sure, Why not?. If they can, Why can't I?. It's gotten so ridiculous. You were competent in killing someone. You should be locked up for life. The families just keep getting sent through he77 over and over again because of the defendants precious rights. The victim didn't have any.

Yeah it would make too much logical and common sense to do it a better way. Can't have that. It might lose people some jobs in the system if there wasn't all this backlog and b.s. and evals and security and more....

"We usually have about 12 or more people that's been coming and helping us," said Drouaillet.

Chula Vista man accused of killing wife who disappeared in 2021 found competent to stand trial

The ruling means the murder case involving Larry Millete can proceed. He is charged in the death of his wife, May 'Maya' Millete

Chula Vista man accused of killing wife who disappeared in 2021 found competent to stand trial​

Criminal proceedings were reinstated Monday in the case of a man accused of killing his wife, a Chula Vista woman who remains missing more than 18 months after disappearing from her home.

The mental competency finding means the criminal case will go forward against Larry Millete, 41, who is charged with murder in connection with the disappearance and presumed death of 39-year-old May “Maya’” Millete, the mother of his three children.

On Monday, San Diego Superior Court Judge Cindy Davis — who reviewed a report from a psychiatrist who examined Larry Millete — found that Millete is mentally competent. Under state law, defendants are mentally competent when they can understand the nature of the court proceedings and assist in their own defense.

A status conference in Millete’s case is set for Friday at the South Bay courthouse in Chula Vista.

Kids Can Have Some Contact With Father, Maya Millete's Murder-Suspect Husband: Judge

Until this week, the man accused of murdering his 39-year-old wife, May “Maya” Millete, a Chula Vista woman who remains missing more than 18 months after disappearing from her home, was unable to communicate with his children, per a court order.

Kids Can Have Some Contact With Father, Maya Millete's Murder-Suspect Husband: Judge​

Until this week, the man accused of murdering his 39-year-old wife, May "Maya" Millete, a Chula Vista woman who remains missing more than 18 months after disappearing from her home, was unable to communicate with his children, per a court order.

In October of last year, a judge ruled Larry Millete, 41, was only allowed to speak to his attorney from jail after violating a court order prohibiting him from contacting his three children. Deputy District Attorney Christy Bowles said at the time that since his arrest a week prior, Millete had made 129 phone calls to his parent’s home, where his children were currently living. In the calls, Millete allegedly asked one of the kids to read headlines to him and also told two of the children to watch an R-rated film called “Shock Caller” to “understand the environment he is in.” The film is about a well-to-do family man who is jailed for killing and, after a plea deal and becomes a hardened prisoner.

In court in Chula Vista on Tuesday, however, Judge Dwayne Moring modified the criminal protective order against Millete, whose only spoke in court when asked if he understood the guidelines, to which he replied, "Yes, sir." Per a request from his defense attorney, Millete will now be allowed to have written communication with his children. However, telephonic communication and in-person visits are still forbidden.

The children — who are now 5, 11 and 12 years old — are currently embroiled in a guardianship dispute between Millete's parents and Maya's sister and brother-in-law, Maracris and Richard Drouaillet, who were both in court on Wednesday as well. They declined to comment when asked.

On Wednesday, the judge ruled that any letters must be reviewed by the children’s court-appointed guardian, who will monitor the communications for any inappropriate content, which would include discussing the case or attempts to unduly influence the children.

Prosecutor argued against the modification to the protective order, saying, in part, that the children are potential witnesses and collateral victims, and were likely in the family's South Bay home when their mother was killed. The DA's office argued that Millete had previously demonstrated “controlling and manipulative “ behavior when he was allowed to talk to kids.

Late last month, Millete was ruled mentally competent to stand trial. In June, his defense attorney, Bonita Martinez, declared doubts about her client's competency to stand trial, which halted the criminal case.

Millete is due back in court on Dec. 6 for a status conference, and then again on Jan. 11, for a preliminary hearing. During that hearing, which is expected to last up to three weeks, the prosecution will present evidence it believes will support the charges of murder and unlawful possession of an assault weapon filed against him.

He was already manipulating them, his choice and his mistake. The ban should stand imo.

They need to get this man convicted so that there may be a stronger basis for stopping any communication until the kids are old enough to look them up themselves if they so choose.

And what do we have here, two different judges where one ruled no contact and no another altered it?

At least the letters have to be pre-screened prior to going out.
And any attempt at further manipulation should immediately end all contact.

Court filings reveal new details in Larry Millete murder case

Two lawsuits filed by relatives of Millete transferred to federal court.

Court filings reveal new details in Larry Millete murder case​

New information is coming out in the criminal case against Larry Millete, the Chula Vista father of three charged with murdering his wife, Maya Millete.

Two lawsuits filed by relatives of accused killer were transferred to federal court this week. Both lawsuits allege civil rights violations when Chula Vista police served search warrants related to the criminal case.

Ricky Lincoln and Kathy Fredericks, Millete’s uncle and maternal aunt, filed a lawsuit in state court in May alleging Chula Vista police illegally served a search warrant on April 1, 2021 at the couple’s home in Encanto.

“They were searching for Larry Millete's gun parts,” the lawsuit said.

That lawsuit -- as well as a similar lawsuit filed in May by Millete's parents -- were transferred this week to federal court because they allege civil rights violations.

Buried in the civil court filings is new information related to Millete’s criminal case.

“Police officers took not only Millete's gun parts, but also guns that plaintiff Lincoln owned that plaintiff Lincoln had inherited from his father, and a freezer from the kitchen, that Lincoln had borrowed from Larry Millete,” the lawsuit said.

Prosecutors allege Millete murdered his wife, Maya Millete, and dumped her body at a remote location. Her remains have not been found.

“It's our position that the children were present when their father murdered their mother in the home and took steps to hide and dispose of her body while the children were at home,” Deputy District Attorney Christy Bowles said in Chula Vista court on Wednesday.


The first time the public will get to see evidence in the criminal case will be at the preliminary hearing, which currently is set for Jan. 11, 2023.

June Trial Date Set in Guardianship Case of Missing Chula Vista Mom, Maya Millete

A June trial date was set Monday in the legal battle over the guardianship of the three children of a Chula Vista woman who remains missing and her husband, who is suspected of killing her.
timesofsandiego.com timesofsandiego.com

by Elizabeth Ireland 5 hours ago

A June trial date was set Monday in the legal battle over the guardianship of the three children of a Chula Vista woman who remains missing and her husband, who is suspected of killing her.

Guardianship of the Millete children, ages 12, 11, and 6, remains at issue as their mother, May “Maya” Millete, has been missing since January of 2021, and their father, Larry Millete, remains jailed without bail on a murder charge for the past year.

Larry Millete’s parents and May Millete’s sister are both seeking guardianship of the children.

Kelley James, the court-appointed guardian ad litem, requested at a Monday hearing that an expert conduct what’s called a 730 custody evaluation prior to trial.

James said she believed it was important for the court to hear from someone “with experience in investigating trauma” during the trial, as “these children have experienced a significant amount of trauma.”

James said all three children are “doing remarkably well” despite the circumstances, but said she was concerned about how the various “unknowns” might affect them down the line, particularly whether their mother will be found and the outcome of their father’s criminal case.

Her request was for “a professional with a background in psychology, and specifically in trauma” to assess both sides for how they will manage these issues for the children as they arise.

James also noted that the maternal side of the family is seeking additional visitation with the children, who have remained with their grandparents since their mother’s disappearance.

While James said she wasn’t aware of any issues precluding more visitation, she noted, “these children strongly believe that their maternal family has caused (their) father’s incarceration and it makes them uncomfortable around that side of the family. I’m not certain why they believe this, but they do.”

Prosecutors allege Larry Millete killed his wife after she sought a divorce. She has not been seen or heard from since Jan. 7, 2021.

Criminal proceedings were recently reinstated in Millete’s murder case. His defense attorney previously declared a doubt as to his competency to stand trial, but he was later found competent following a doctor’s evaluation.

Millete is due for a preliminary hearing in the murder case in January, which would be the first time much of the evidence in the criminal case will be made public.
 
Getting an expert is thorough and a great idea but the length of time is again ridiculous. Children grow up before courts can move in these types of cases and then it will be further uprooting of them and influence in the meantime.

We know dad has influenced them and if I recall the grandparents are not without fault there either AND dad was contacting them and influencing them while they were with his parents.

This is just so wrong. And the longer it goes on the older they get and the more they will be poisoned towards the mom's side. This is so unfair to the victim and to mom's side.
