Overview
- Prosecutors presented phone and video analysis during Day 21–22 testimony, arguing investigators saw Maya Millete on home surveillance only on Jan. 7, 2021 and no confirmed phone activity after that date.
- District Attorney investigator Mat Grindley testified that searches never recovered Maya’s phone and that comparisons of messages showed deletions, including a January 7 text from Larry Millete reading “I’m about to lose it.”
- A former Chula Vista detective said she reviewed Jan. 7 video that showed Maya entering and leaving her home and that she did not find her on video after that day.
- A close friend and co-worker testified about Maya’s repeated confessions of marital strife, social-media blocking by Larry, and a message expressing guilt about leaving her children.
- The defense accused a family member of intimidating gestures in court, and Judge Enrique Camarena ordered bailiffs to review courtroom surveillance before ruling on the request to remove him.
