Jury selection has started for the murder trial of Larry Millete, accused of killing his wife Maya Millete, who disappeared from their Chula Vista home in January 2021. The trial is expected to last three months.

- Larry Millete faces first-degree murder charges; Maya's body has never been found. - Prosecutors allege he used 'spell casters' to control his wife and sought to harm her.

- Defense attempts to recuse the DA's office were denied; the co-worker affair cannot be argued. - Millete was arrested in 2021 and could face 25 years to life in prison.
