- Her sister testified that siblings knew the marriage was troubled, though Maya never discussed it. - Larry Millete was arrested in October 2021 and charged with first-degree murder.

- The trial, which began May 18, is expected to last months, with a circumstantial case due to the absence of a body. The defense has suggested Maya had an affair, while the prosecution builds its case without a definitive murder scene.
