SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Larry Millete, the South Bay man accused of killing his wife in 2021, is set to appear in court Monday, more than four years since she was last seen or heard from.
Millete was arrested on suspicion of murdering his wife, Maya “May” Millete, and has remained in jail since October of 2021. He is scheduled to appear before a judge at the South County Superior Court on Monday afternoon for a readiness conference.
What led to Maya’s disappearance?
Maya was last seen at her home on Paseo Los Gatos in Chula Vista on Jan. 7, 2021. After an investigation that spanned nine months, the 39-year-old mother of three was presumed dead by authorities. Her body has not yet been found.
Larry and Maya reportedly had marital issues in the months leading up to her disappearance. According to investigators, Larry had discovered that Maya had been having an affair.
According to investigators, one report was that Larry had once allegedly “choked May until she passed out.” Before she went missing, police said Maya had been taking steps to divorce him and Larry had “an overwhelming motive” to prevent that from happening.
