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

[Cuoco7]

So, I know there is probably alot of human remains around that we don’t know about, but there were remains found in the hills above Burbank around 12 hrs ago. Not on a visible trail. It’s 2 hrs and 10 minutes according to Goggle from Chula Vista to Burbank. Probably a long shot that it’s May, but...it is possible.

That 2 hours to travel in LA would equate to a likely 4 hours of travel time! So heavily congested in that area, it would be risky to travel that route. So many missing people in the LA area we have watched, hope remains are identified soon.

Just another thought...the gunshots. Could it be possible that LM shot May through the freezer so there wouldn’t be evidence? Maybe choked her out, put her in freezer, and then shot through it? It does kind of sound like target practice. MOO

If those are gun shots (they sound like they are), they sound timed with a stationary target. Almost like target practice at an indoor range. I'm having a hard time believing, although the timing is interesting, that this is connected to Maya's disappearance. If this was someone actually shooting a person, I can't imagine a clean up like this would get past LE, not to mention bullets maybe going into walls, ricocheting, etc. IMO

I agree, and also don't think anybody considered the shots were connected to gun violence in real-time. Both the 911 log and CVPD confirm there were no reports of suspicious gunfire ever reported to police on Jan 7.

I think the gunshots came to light after MM was reported missing, and requests put out to the neighborhood for surveillance video.

At this time, I also don't believe there's definitive evidence the shots even happened at the Millete residence but possibly nearby. And if, for example, the shots were from the residence next to or behind Millete's, given the national focus on this case, it might be difficult to come forward and say you and/or your teens were target shooting at 10 pm!

Actually, -- I'm still scratching my head on all the confirmations seen here that nightly shots and/or fireworks in this very area are NOT out of the ordinary!

MOO

You could be right. In my opinion, the first 5 shots are fired within fairly close succession, almost like a blitz attack. I could be entirely wrong, but I feel like a perpetrator wouldn't shoot so many shots so rapidly unless their victim was still alive... unless they were feeling an incredible amount of hatred and rage. I really feel like the timing of those shots tells a story, not only of what happened, but the emotion of the person holding the gun, whomever that may be. 8 shots is excessive, but even more so if the victim was already dead before the first shot was fired. My interpretation is that, if Maya was shot that evening, she was alive when it started. The last 2 or 3 shots feel like overkill purely based on the timing between them but that's just my opinion. If I am correct (very high possibility that I'm wrong) then I just pray she was asleep and didn't know what happened. The alternative is too horrific and sad for me to comprehend.

MOO

In my very limited experience of having to call LE to report something, people won't generally call unless they're absolutely sure something is wrong. I think people's perception of loud bangs is dependant on the neighborhood and demographic of the residents. And, being so close to new years, maybe it was perceived as fireworks. There's also a possibility that the echo didn't travel as well as we all think it would but that's getting into variables that I can't comprehend. But, I guess now that it's been confirmed to be indoors, someone was having target practice where they shouldn't be. I would hope that if anyone was firing a gun indoors, they'd come forward to help prevent an innocent man from being wrongfully accused. But since human beings tend to be inherently selfish, I'm hoping that LE are able to pinpoint the exact building where the gun was fired in the near future.

I'm struggling to get my head around how they were able to do such a good clean up job considering the amount of gunshots and potential blood spray and slatter that would send everywhere. I would not be surprised if he pre planned to do this in a part of the house that was set up/stripped/ furniture covered etc ready to be easily cleaned.

It does seem inconceivable. The only scenario I can speculate is if a victim was rendered unconscious, and then wrapped (for example), in a white comforter. A comforter/pillows around the victim might serve the purpose of somewhat containing the bullets, and absorbing human fluids.
Absolutely no idea if this is a rational speculation or not.

I believe the only option would have to be next door, as there aren't any homes behind, trail access was available from behind the house; if I remember correctly.

 

[digdug6]

I've always thought 8 shots was kind of excessive, especially when you have witnesses in the house (kids). 1 or two shots wouldve been enough, I would think.. And they do have that trail nearby, so who knows if people were shooting guns up there.

Heck, even Larry probably heard those shots that night too, while he was busy doing something else.

MOO!

 

[Blahblahboo]

Been following this case for a while.

Remember they found a patched hole on the door?

Maybe LM let the kids out, shot the consecutive 5 shots (four corner and then in the middle) on the DOOR to punch through and open the door. Then the two shots were the victim...

Random thought. MOO. Observation only.

I hope they find Maya soon. It’s so sad

The idea of several gunshots being heard in a residential area but not resulting in a whole neighbourhood going into panic mode while a heavy duty police presence appears just blows my mind.

Great first post! Very possible. Excellent sleuthing. Stick around please; we need more of this logical thinking.

Yes, it sure is strange. Perhaps where the house is situated it contained the noise to a small radius. Hard to say. It will be interesting to hear more from the expert who has been analyzing the tape from the neighbor.

I feed feral and stray cats in an ally in one of San Diego's sketchier neighborhoods every day. Loud bangs are not uncommon, IME, and no doubt some of these are gunfire. Such sounds scare my cats, so I take notice of them. I have never called one in, and have never seen a police response to the ones I have heard. However, I have never heard eight such bangs in rapid succession, in 3 years of listening. That's very unusual, IMO. I'd have called that in, and so would most people I know.

If the barking dog was owned by the neighbor with the surveillance recording in my opinion they were not home. No one ever comforted or hollered at the dog. No human response toward the animal. moo

 

[Baby2Baby]

I could not imagine living next to that house right now. I’d be on pins and needles every single day! I’m like that now and live far frm CA! Prayers for Maya and her children!

 

[Tealgrove]

One would think that if Maya had been shot in the bedroom there would be blood evidence. If blood was found we also know that forensics would be able to tell us if it is Mya’s blood.

IMO if blood evidence was found, an arrest would have been made by now and the children would have been removed from the home.

I just have a hard time believing that 8 shots would be fired in the home while 3 young children are present. It boggles my mind.

Becky Watts was dismembered in her stepbrother’s bathroom/bathtub and no DNA or blood was ever found. So it does happen I guess.

Was a new mattress ordered recently? Was Maya’s room repainted? Was there carpet replaced?

Those gunshots are really complicating things.

I feel the same about the gunshots. I can't believe LE didn't find any evidence of a shooting.
I believe the experts that these were indeed gunshots but the kids were heard outside after it, not during.

Were they witnesses to violence or were they perhaps locked in their bedrooms sleeping at the beginning and woken up to noise so were sent outside?
Were the gunshots red herrings and different violence happened?

What I'm sure of, (although MOO) is that violence happened to May at home that night, before 2:30 am and that missing comforter will be found with her body (plus she'll be wearing her Fabletics and her phone will be next to her/in pockets) JMO

I wish she had a diary! Or a hidden nannycam!


I hope we get answers because it's mind boggling.

 

[Baby2Baby]

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
