11/4/22 Update: Guardianship: The family of missing Chula Vista mom Maya Millete has been seeking custody & more visitation from the very beginning of this horrific ordeal. So far, they have been unable to come to an agreement regarding joint custody. On Monday, they asked for a trial to force the issue. On Monday, a court appointed guardian for the children requested what is called a 730 evaluation to get a professional psychiatric account of the children’s current emotional state. This is common in family court proceedings, but costly & can take anywhere from three to five months. It was granted.
5/8/23 Update: Guardianship: The battle over guardianship of the Millete children continues in San Diego probate court between Larry's parents & Maya's sister.

6/2/23 Update: In the hearing, the judge granted Maya's sister, Maricris Drouaillet request to modify summer visitation so that she & her husband could spend more time with the children while the kids are on summer break. There’ll be more custody hearings to decide who gets the children. No further info or dates given in article.
8/23/23 Update: The judge set a trial date for 1/5/24. It is anticipated to be a five to seven day-long trial with approximately 12 witnesses called. After, there will be a decision about who the legal guardians of the three Millete children should be.
12/5/23 Update: Guardianship: On 11/28/23, the Trial Readiness Conference (Probate) was continued pursuant to the parties motion to 12/6/23 @ 1:30pm before Judge Alvarez, and the Probate Case Management Conference scheduled for 12/8/23 @ 1:30pm before Judge Ronald F.

Thanks a bunch! :)
 
Very short article. Police were called about the discovery of a body -- believed to be female -- in a freezer.

I guess it does not say who is the home owner - ?? Any Larry connections to that address? Just some questions - probably not in the article.
 
LM served in the Navy it looks like at a middle rank. Note the red underlined "pistol, sharpshooter ribbon". HM3 is listed as a Hospital Corpsman. The U.S. Navy website link is provided below for their job description of hospital corpsman's and how class affects benefits, duties, and skills.

Jan 2024. So now we are at 3 years.
This case has so many things like Suzanne Morphew case. If you look at both these ladies - they were viewed as possessions in their marriages.
Leaving is always a dangerous time.
Forever grateful Suzanne was found.
Hoping this will be the year for Maya to come home❤️

LM back in court tomorrow 1-8-2024. There has been a large group of family, friends, & community searching tirelessly for Maya Millete for three years now. There is a need for the help of cadaver dogs in these searches. Please keep praying that Maya is found.


For more than two years now, Larry Millete has sat in jail, charged with his wife’s murder, never revealing any details about where she might be.


“The family is saying that they’re going to have a search possibly this month in the desert.” Norma Toothman says they’re now turning to the community for support.

“Anybody that has the availability of cadaver dogs, the family would truly appreciate them coming forward.”

Larry Millete, who is ineligible for bail, is due back in court on Monday. His trial for her killing has been scheduled for Aug. 26, 2024.
 
Monday, January 8th:

Detectives located a .223/5.56 rifle. The firearm is non-California complaint configuration & is an unlawful assault rifle in violation of 30605 PC, which is a felony). Plead not guilty. Held without bond. Denied bail (11/4/21). Found mentally competent to stand trial (9/26/22).

7/24/23 Update: Judge Enrique Camarena noted that Larry missed the last hearing because he was upset about delays. In fact, most, if not all, of the delays in the case so far have been at the request of the defense. Millete asked the judge on Monday to delay his trial for allegedly murdering her until next year. The reason: He doesn't have enough money on hand to fund his defense. Larry's trial is now scheduled for 1/16/24 @ 9am. Judge Camarena eventually ruled to allow the delay but that on the next hearing date — scheduled for 10/10/23 @ 1:30pm — he wanted a decision about whether Martinez would be staying on as Larry's defense attorney or he would need to appoint a public defender for him. Should a public defender be appointed, court watchers can expect a significant delay while Larry's prospective attorney gets caught up on the case. And coming up Felony Other Motion Hearing scheduled for 1/8/24 @ 9am. Hearing on 10/10/23 time was changed from 1:30pm to 9am.
10/10/23 Update: San Diego County Superior Court Judge Enrique Camarena Jr. relieved Bonita Martinez as Larry’s attorney, at the request of Martinez. The decision came less than four months before his murder trial was scheduled to begin. Trial will be delayed until next August. Martinez says she no longer wanted to represent Larry due to his lack of finances. Larry will now be represented by Liann Sabatini & Colby Ryan with Virtus Law Group, LLP. The judge said that he already met with the new defense attorneys & told them they were expected to complete the case whether they get paid or not, and that he wouldn’t allow the case to be delayed again due to finances. Larry’s new trial date for the murder charge is set for jury selection starting on 8/26/24. Next felony readiness conference on 1/8/24 @ 9am.
10/18/23 Update: Felony motion hearing scheduled on 1/8/24 has been vacated. Next further proceedings hearing will be on 1/8/24 @ 9am & felony motion hearing on 8/5/24 @ 9am.
*Guardianship Case: Family Court Case The judge said a final decision on custody of the children likely will not be made until after Larry's murder trial is concluded. 8/22/23: Judge sets 1/5/24 as trial date. 12/8/23: Trial vacated & reset for review. Review hearing on 3/12/24.
Conservatorship Case: Review hearing on
3/11/24.
 
Larry got shot down getting what he wanted today. :cool: The actual local news broadcast was well worth watching, but I'm not getting any video showing with this link. If someone can find the video, please post it.


"A San Diego County judge denied efforts from Larry Millete’s new defense counsel that would have allowed him to make calls to family members."

1704766436096.png During this morning’s hearing, defense attorney Liann Sabatini asked the judge to modify the order, saying it was a violation of his 1st amendment rights, equal protection rights and 8th amendment rights.

“It’s not right. It’s completely unconstitutional,” Sabatini said.
“What jurisdiction does the court have to order him to speak to people he otherwise wouldn’t be speaking to?”
[...]

1704766397373.png Judge Enrique Camarena sided with Bowles, ruling that no changes be made to the protective order. Camarena also cited an example of Larry’s alleged violation of the order. In that instance, prosecutors say Larry used another inmate’s PIN to make hours of phone calls to his children. The judge says Larry’s calls were also inappropriate, saying that he made references to a disturbing film about prison life, which he instructed his children to watch.
