Larry Millete is accused of killing his 39-year-old wife, Maya Millete, whose body had never been found, in January 2021.
Her body was never recovered
In court on Tuesday, the judge granted the defense's request to further delay the start of the trial. The judge in the case has set the new start for the trial to July 7 of next year, almost two years later than the original date that had been set.Larry's trial was first scheduled, following his preliminary hearing in the case last year during which he was bound over trial, for Sept. 14, 2023. It was then pushed back to Aug. 5 of this year, then extended a third time, to Jan.
In the end, though, the judge granted the defense's request and said anyone helping Larry communicate inappropriately could be taken into custody.The Chula Vista man has been in custody since October 2021, approximately nine months after Maya disappeared. Prior to the time she was last seen, the couple had marital problems; she wanted out, but testimony in the preliminary hearing showed that Larry would have none of it.
Maya was last seen in the couple's home on Paseo Los Gatos at around 5 p.m. home on Jan. 7, 2021. Her disappearance occurred two days before the family was set to travel on a planned trip to Big Bear for her daughter’s birthday. Two days later, her sister called Chula Vista police to report that she was missing. Maya’s car was still at her home but phone calls went straight to her voicemail after her disappearance.
