CA CA - Maya Millete, 39, missed daughter's birthday, Chula Vista, 7 Jan 2021 #2

And since they have 5 bedrooms, she was probably in a room downstairs

Maricris clearly said there are 4 bedrooms, and I believe she is counting the loft among the 4.
I know a home that is laid out exactly in this fashion.

This makes sense because
a, if you have three children and three bedrooms most parents would find it easier for each child to have their own room (so the 2 girls don't talk and keep each other awake into the night).
b, why would you use the son's room as storage if you had additional space?
c, it seems highly unlikely they would need a guest room as all the family lives fairly close.
d, Maricris makes no mention of an office, playroom etc.

Therefore if Larry is sleeping in the "loft", everything else is downstairs.

This is a great point, IMO, that I (and maybe other sleuthers too) had not fully considered. To this point, I wonder if LM and MM were generally well-aligned in terms of their approaches to parenting/expectations of their children, or if one might have felt the other was "too harsh"/"too strict" or conversely "too lenient"/"too indulgent." The splitting up of the son from the daughters (in the context of LM's early-morning trip with the couple's young son--and WITHOUT the couple's daughters--to the beach on that cold Friday morning MM was first noted to be missing) makes it seem like there might have been differing values attached to the only son versus the couple's other children (although it could simply be that the son was brought along with LM because he was the only child not old enough to have to virtually "attend" school that Friday). IMO/MOO of course!

I interpreted differently. The girls are school age, and likely has online classes to attend. The little boy likely didn’t have online pre-school, thus available for the day trip.

Good speculation. Maybe he did go to big bear with his son after all...maybe that’s where family and friends needs to be looking for MM. MOO.

MOO but from listening to The interview with Vinnie On Court TV ..I got the impression someone was not happy that his wife was taking all of his kids to Big Bear. Evidently he told Maricris he took his son with him on Friday to keep MM from taking all of his kids to Big Bear without him.He felt he should go.
So. Was it rage? ...like the rage OJ had not being invited to dinner after his kids recital.

Vinnie DID bring up the fact that LM referred to them as “my kids” not “our kids” when talking in interviews .

I'm sorry but I'm going to have to politely disagree with you. Not that you don't make excellent points, but I'll tell you my thoughts and maybe we can come to an agreement.

Maricris may have said there were 4 bedrooms but Larry said there were 5. That would be a strange thing for him to lie about. I also think Larry would know the house better than Maricris

A. I agree that each child should have their own room for the exact reason that you stated. But if you're saying a loft is included in the total of rooms making it 4, does that mean that one of the children is sleeping in the master bedroom? I just need some clarification on this point because I think I'm misunderstanding.
B. Why would they use the son's room for additional storage? I have no idea. It's a big house. I'm guessing that maybe the kids have a ton of toys so they keep them in there? I honestly have no idea how much stuff kids need but I'm just speculating anyway so it's a moot point. And the term "storage" could just mean that the room isn't set up for the 4 year old to sleep in yet because he's not ready to sleep away from a parent yet. But honestly, I have no idea. I'll have to listen to Maricris' description again. But people do make strange choices in their own homes sometimes.
C. Maya's family all live close by it's possible that Larry's did not. I haven't heard enough about his family to know how close they live. Guest rooms aren't only for family but friends as well. Maya's family came from Hawaii so maybe they have guests from there. And the decisions people make in their houses sometimes don't make sense. My husband's parents valued a guest bedroom more than they valued giving their children their own separate room with their own separate beds and yet they also never had guests. Sometimes logic just does not apply.
D. I feel like she didn't mention the other rooms is because they did not apply. She was asked about what happened, not about the layout of the house. She's only focused on the room that had the locked door.

It's frustrating because I do know a bit more about this house but I don't think I can share it because there is a family living there and they have their right to privacy. I definitely don't want to over share for that reason but I'm fairly confident that the house has 5 bedrooms (it's possible the loft is included but I have my doubts) and one happens to be downstairs.

I hope that this didn't come across as rude to you. It's hard to disagree without coming across that way sometimes. I'm going to look into this a bit more and if I come across anything that will contradict what I've said here, I'll be sure to mention it.

A bit of sleuthing leads me to confidently believe the house is 5 bedrooms total including the loft, one of the bedrooms is on the ground floor.

MOO - i'm not going to link to err on the side of caution

Hahah @LindsayXO same thoughts!

5 beds, 4 baths. One bedroom downstairs. That bedroom might not be used as such but it certainly could be.

Okay, so I've listened to Maricris' description of the house again. She says there are four bedrooms upstairs. Two are occupied by the girls. The third is intended for the son but he's not currently using it. The fourth is the master bedroom. And the loft is separate and possibly used as another sleeping area. That's my interpretation anyway. Her description isn't fully clear to me but feel free to correct me if I am wrong. She describes it around the 38 minute mark

Edit: added a couple words (in italics) for clarity

 

[ElizaKate]

This podcast states that LM set up the meeting with the divorce attorney? Any supporting evidence of this? I'd always heard it was MM that set up the appointment...

 

[ElizaKate]

Her description isn't fully clear to me but feel free to correct me if I am wrong. She describes it around the 38 minute mark - [snipped]

Yeh I didn't think her description was clear enough for me to be confident in it. Maricris and her husband also disagreed on whether LM & MM were sharing a room or not. I don't think they would necessarily know the true answer to this regardless of how close they are.

Either way, I don't think the answers to this are going to get us any closer to finding Maya or finding out what happened. LE are really playing their cards close to their chest. The fact that there is very little call to the public in terms of information requests, surely means they're looking at one option and one option only. Not suggesting in anyway what that one option is. MOO

Yes, as I said in my original post, this is definitely a possibility too.

Yes. I think you're right. I wasn't aware that a theory that I had would be focused on quite so much. I thought that, at most, it would be a different way to look at a problem and possibly open up a pathway to a new solution. I regret posting about it because I feel like it's hindering, rather than helping. It's a theory that has a lot of holes but it was bothering me so much that I wanted to see if it could be easily dismissed so that I could move my thoughts elsewhere. While I still think it's a possibility, maybe I should have kept it to myself.

I agree Larry would know the house but his interview says "lots of bedrooms, it's a big house"
not 5 bedrooms.

Post #526, on page 27 of the first thread about this case contains a link to Realtor.com which shows the home has 5 bedrooms.

You're right about the first part. That's my mistake.

However, I refuse to link anything that could violate the privacy of the people living in that home, especially minors. If you do some amateur sleuthing yourself, you'd see it's not unfounded at all.

Oh no don't regret posting it! Like you say talking over different thoughts and theories may lead to something. Many people pick up on different things along the way. It's all part of piecing the puzzle together

This is where I got my information on the house. I wasn't sure that if I linked it, I'd be breaking rules but I guess if it's already been posted, I'm in the clear. Thank you.

 

[Curious Me]

...However, I refuse to link anything that could violate the privacy of the people living in that home, especially minors...

I so appreciate your considerations. Minors living in their family home, so respecting their privacy is exactly the right concern. Thank You.

I've seen on other sites, even on the Find May FB, a few people hating on LM and wanting to harass and torment him to get him to talk. Scary people, and they're not thinking of the children living there at all.

It tires me out sometimes trying to sort out the details of this case. I took a rest from posting, but enjoyed the continuing discussion here. Great group of people on this thread.

 

[Knox]

So now that we've established there are five bedrooms, lol. What was the point being made please?

I was mainly trying to explain why I thought it was weird that Maya was expected to be in the master bedroom based off of what Larry said in his interview. It was just a theory but there was quite a lot of discussion about it.
