Maya has been missing from her Chula Vista home since last week. Millete says they had argued the night before.

CHULA VISTA, Calif. — The
Chula Vista Police Department served a search warrant Saturday at the home of Maya "May" Millete on Paseo Los Gatos in Chula Vista, according to a press release from the police department.
Millete’s husband, Larry, told News 8 investigators seized property before leaving around 1 a.m. Sunday morning. Neighbors told her family they saw police using what appeared to be "forensic lights" although police would not confirm details about their actions.
"The focus of the search warrant is to
locate any evidence or any clues as to her whereabouts. Obviously, we’re concerned that she is still missing," said Lt. Miriam Foxx with the Criminal Investigations Division. “I can’t give any details as to the investigation but I will say we’ve been actively investigating this case and we’re at the point now where we’re trying to get as much evidence and any clues that we have that it’s possible to find where May is."

Chula Vista police have explicitly said Larry is not considered to be a suspect in their investigation. However, Lt. Miriam Fox, a spokeswoman for the department, added that
he [husband Larry] is no longer cooperating with their investigation and has not had a role in the search parties tasked with finding his missing wife.
Larry declined to comment for this story.
His uncooperative actions, Maricris said, have been another hard blow to the already strained family.
“I felt heartbroken, in a way,” Maricris said. “It’s more painful because: Why is he not willing to cooperate to find my sister?”
Fox said
Maya was reported missing to Chula Vista police by her sister, Maricris, late on Jan. 9, 2021, just after 11 p.m. Police arrived at the Millete home after 1 a.m., the time earlier cited in the media for the report of a missing person.
Maricris and Richard told NBC 7 recently that after Maya’s disappearance, Larry accessed Maya’s Facebook page and began removing photos and videos from her account. Other family members said it’s one reason they have been trying to archive every image or video of Maya and her children for their memories.

Reportedly, the family celebrated the new year holiday with a family camping
trip where they described things between the husband and missing wife as tense-- and her family last saw Maya alive on Jan 3, 2021.
Husband Larry reported he last physically saw Maya on Thursday, Jan 7, 2021. In his own words, he was reluctant to report his wife missing and stated he was embarrassed (and why her sister reported Maya missing late night Jan 9).
Reportedly, Maya went missing from her home but did not take her vehicle. There's no report to date that Maya left her home with a friend, family, or other.
Within weeks of Maya reported missing to police, a Judge agreed with and signed a search warrant for Maya's residence based on an
affidavit of probable cause by CVPD detectives. CVPD detectives had to have evidence to believe that criminal activity is occurring at the place to be searched or that evidence of a crime may be found there.
The public should be wise to understand not naming the husband a suspect does not take away from the fact that Maya is not voluntarily missing without taking her own vehicle.
I believe Maya's family continues to do right by keeping her name in the public that she's missing while police continue to investigate the probable.
