CA CA - Maya Millete, 39, missed daughter's birthday, Chula Vista, 7 Jan 2021 #3

[rosesfromangels]

It is mind boggling! So hear me out...I posted earlier that maybe LM shot through the freezer. Maybe May was in there? Maybe that’s why there is no blood evidence that we know about? So, what if he shot holes in the freezer so it would be able to sink in water? Maybe a crazy suggestion, but hell, the whole thing has become crazy and unbelievable! MOO

It's not crazy at all. When the first audio of the shots was released, I "thought" I heard a loud *clank* at one point. Of course we are all hearing something slightly different, and thank goodness for the audio expert who is not in the mix. Perhaps (speculation) that the victim was rendered unconscious, wrapped in a comforter (as an example), and then deposited in the freezer.

Of course, LE hasn't confirmed there was a crime at that residence, so we are just offering up amateur opinions and speculation.

Time will tell, and hopefully soon.

This is exactly what I think happened to poor MM. Perhaps the expert was not at liberty to disclose to the general public what he heard on the recording... JMO

I also heard that "clank" and wondered if it was a ricochet or a shell casing banging up against something in close quarters. Then, when considering that a chest freezer might be involved, speculated the same as you: sedative or something else to render MM unconscious, then deposit her unconscious body in freezer, then shots to finish her off (with blood evidence contained by walls of freezer).

I had to stop listening to that audio of the shots because imagining what might have been happening to poor Maya is so disturbing.

One thing is for sure. We have some dumb Perps here. Captured on video at least a couple times that we know of, and likely countless other times. All the deflection, attempts at victim shaming, and amateurish attempts at concealment are going to help convict at trial. What a moron.

But since LE hasn't said a crime was committed, and there is no named Suspect, I'll just say this is all...

...amateur opinion and speculation

 

[Mauig’ma]

Gunshot audio has been released from USA Forensic

A quick summary from Brian states that there are no discernable human voices in the audio and that it is a dog squealing between shots 1 & 2. The shots were indoors and in a confined space.

Edit: I posted the video from The Interview Room but there is also a similar video from CBS 8 San Diego on YouTube as well. I'm uncertain if one source is preferred over the other but they're very similar videos so I feel like I'm hopefully not breaking any TOS

Is it possible to distinguish whether the dog barking is Maya’s dog or not?

^^rsbm
Yes, the clank -- sounded to me like a wrench or tools falling on concrete. I believe the "clank" sound disappeared after the digital version by CBS8 released (second video). I also didn't hear clank on the latest or forensic version. MOO

 

[KALI]

Yes of course if you are a rational clear thinking person.
But, what if you're an enraged, out of your mind controlling person?
Gathering in your mind, that every slight is an attack on you personally.
your manhood, your family, and your extended family. Coupled with Larry's belief that she was having sexual affairs with other men. So, much so that he wanted her removed from working next to any man.
In my opinion, if Maya told him that she was meeting a divorce attorney, I think THAT information sent him over the edge.
With my opinion stated here, I highly recommend that you Never, ever, continue to live in the same house with your spouse that you feel the need to divorce.
No way am I blaming Maya here (so don't try going down that road).

Giving the children something to make them sleep would be to assume that this was planned in advance and not something that happened during an argument or in the heat of the moment.

It just seems to me that if I were planning to kill my SO I would plan it so the children were not around, or, at very least, use a method that wouldn’t be heard by my neighbours or my kids.

The 8 shots boggle my mind if that’s what actually happened.

MOO

Statement Analysis Blog posted the transcript from ABC10 News’ LM telephone interview along with thought-provoking commentary.

Even someone with an untrained ear can detect when someone may be lying. We’ve all heard the interview. We’ve all listened as carefully as we could. Embedded between the obvious discrepancies in LM’s statements, there seem to be quite a few clues that might help us solve this.

LM alludes to May being in “another bedroom” stating, “so upstairs, and she’s downstairs” after he says where he is sleeping with the kids. But when her brother goes over on Friday, he is led to believe May is in the Master Bedroom. He knocks to no avail. When her parents go over, it is the Master Bedroom they are let into after LM so conveniently “finds” a key. Likewise, as he reported, LL inspected the Master Bedroom.

Could this be because no one knew about the fifth bedroom, and LM directed everyone to the bedroom he knew had no incriminating evidence in? No one would question being led to the Master Bedroom in a family home. But I think LM slipped and gave it away.

The Master Bedroom is upstairs. I hope the downstairs bedroom was searched.

Listing from 2013 when the family purchased the house: “This house comes with a bedroom downstairs, loft upstairs and a tandem garage.” See it for yourself on Redfin. Photo 8 seems like it could be the downstairs bedroom. Notice how smooth and nonporous the floors are.

Transcript Excerpt:
Q: No-one saw her leave?

LM: Um, no, but on Friday um I could still hear her but I didn’t physically see her- when I got home, but that’s like normal too because we, you know, we have lots of bedrooms and it’s a two story house - and, you know, we kinda like - well, I give her space, so - but that’s why every time someone says Thursday - yes, it’s physically, you know, visually didn’t see her, but for me, it’s Friday, Friday night, you know, I can hear her rustling around making dinner for herself - in another bedroom, I’m sleeping with the kids in another bedroom, so upstairs, and she’s downstairs - kind deal, kinda like a roommate thing - kinda like giving each other space. I don’t need the space - she always wants the space.
Q: Got it. So it was like Friday, and then you left and went somewhere and then came back and she wasn’t there, right?

LM: Yes. I left her with my two girls, ‘cause they, you know, they um, they do their home - home school , and then I just had my son with me, so when I came back she was still there. Friday, um, we can hear her downstairs, you know, like after done giving the kids baths and feeding them and everything, and um, on Saturday morning when her parents came, came by, uh her door was locked, uh I found the keys to the bedroom and I opened it and she was already gone…

Keepin’ it…

Thanks for the transcript, @Real.

IMO, we can be confident the whole house was searched, including a downstairs bedroom.

I mentioned this earlier (not nearly as eloquently as you have however) and I still feel like this is a possibility. If Larry and Maya were living like "roommates", then I have a hard time believing they were still sharing the same bed. He does also say "upstairs, she's downstairs" but that doesn't mean she was actually sleeping downstairs. That being said, I definitely agree with you and hope that LE was thorough with their search.

I was studying blood spatter over the weekend and learned that high velocity spatter is usually very difficult to detect and can be almost imperceptible to the naked eye in some instances. I think that most of us, myself included, expect there to be a lot more blood from a gunshot than there actually is. However, even if that room was hosed down with a pressure washer full of bleech, I think there would still be evidence left behind. I just hope that LE knew exactly where to look and are building a solid case based on the evidence that has been collected.

MOO

Thanks @LindsayXO. Always hard to differentiate feeling like that's good news or bad news.

"...The victim had injuries to their upper torso and the cause of the injury was not yet known, police said."

IWT if the Victim had been shot that would be known, decomp or not?
Many times these articles are fuzzy, so waiting to hear the outcome. It would seem anything is possible with this case, as possible as someone firing eight shots in their home and not half the neighborhood calling the police? IDK....strange case.

Amateur opinion and speculation

Reading between the lines - I believe this victim is most likely a male that was not immediately known to LE. Although MSM did not cite the victim as male, they were definitely asking the public for assistance.

I don't see that happening if /when MM recovered. MOO

found this handy web page, you can put in starting address and drive time (would need to be half of total time to account for round trip vs 1 way) and it shows map/range of all possible destinations (warning will only let you do it twice before prompting you to create an account)

It's very possible that the source that I posted made a mistake so I'm still uncertain of gender. It wouldn't be the first time MSM got it wrong. But I do agree with you that they'll probably announce it a bit differently when she is found.

It's hard to know how to feel every time a new body is discovered. I find myself both getting my hopes up that the search is finally over and also praying to God that it's not her. Maya's family deserves answers but I can't imagine how it would feel for them to find her like that.
