SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Larry Millete, who’s accused of killing his 39-year-old wife and the mother of his children, is expected back in court on Monday, July 7.
Maya “May” Millete vanished from her family’s home on Paseo Los Gatos in Chula Vista back in January 2021. After a months-long investigation, she was presumed dead and her body has yet to be found.
Detectives wrote more than 67 search warrants, conducted 87 interviews and looked into more than 130 tips over the course of nine-months following her disappearance. Larry was the only person of interest police named in the case, which ultimately led to his arrest in October 2021.
Larry, who has remained behind bars since being taken into custody, is now expected back in court for a readiness conference to ensure he’s prepared for his legal case. This could mean updates to his case status. The hearing will be held at the South County Superior Court on Monday.
The homicide trial is expected to begin in January 2026. If convicted, Larry could face up to life in prison.
