Their daughter her parents are elderly. The brother in the brother lower out knocking doors given up flyers. He had no interest in how as word spread. That Maya was nowhere to be found. More friends stepped in trade,

to help my wife, a little was working at the 32Nd Street Naval Base said that a friend of hers went missing the family is concerned. Would you help them? Somebody ask for help? You just do it right. So if she was still alive, I needed to get to her quickly. That's why I went straight to where the last place you was saying, which was that house. I no idea that it would turn into what it was on January, eleventh, two thousand twenty one for day after my Amelia date was last heard from. I knew what had to be done and I did it attorney Billy little of former criminal defence investigator. For the? U S, Navy decided to step into the missing persons case. I went straight to where the last

Why she was saying which was that house little wanted to. Talk to Larry Milady. Amongst other things he had found it. My husband was into the and who initially called the television police department. In fact, when the family wanted to call nine will want he discouraged where their police around also investigating this point. Now, according to the family, the police had come. He had given it. am, I guess, the same story in news reports. At the time. A truly Vista police spokesperson stated that Larry was being cooperative. They were treating it as a missing persons case and had found no indication of foul play little says after he showed very his naval civilian idea. He let a man. I started looking for things that I thought might be suspicious. The house, just like Mary, Chris and Richard. He noticed something strange

Most the windows in the house were open. Air was clear which run around the little knew from his family that the couple had had a fight on the day she was last heard from. I was look. to say that there's any damage also. It indicates some domestic violence from also looking for defensive wounds his hands, which I don't see but little says he did see some being outside the military bed world we went upstairs for her. Bedroom was the first thing I notice was the hope and the door right next door. handle cuz it's right in the area where, if you need access to a locked room going to punch right through there, you can, I touched the patch and it felt knew it felt, wet made. A comment to learn about oil was, has any says: oh yeah, my punched, a hole in the door there inside the bedroom. Little says he noticed a

their whole on the wall that also appeared to have been recently repaired. That would have been too high for a mile to punch, kosher Laura. I said Larry what about this whole and he said oh yeah, she got man punchline to Larry's. Creating a picture here of a woman who is violent. Is this adding up to now. None of this story is adding up when you left the house that day after collecting those puzzle pieces, what were you thinking? Thought Larry killed her and we need to find out what he then and what to do with the body. But I wasn't ready to tell Mary Wkrisha because I didn't know right. I could be wrong. Little began canvassing the neighbourhood and knocking on doors to track down homes, security footage to see if anything,

suspicious was caught on camera around the military house, so I knew we had to get that quickly and preserve it quickly. Time is of the essence, oh god, just what little found was a treasure robots clothes. He says a camera from a neighbouring house recorded the voices of the mill yet children playing Yard, at ten thirty p M Their mother was last heard from on a school night and it's cold outside in the weather. That believe it was in the high forties that night, another camera recorded Larry backing their Lexus into the garage at five hundred and fifty eight a dot m the next morning. So you can't see what's going on, but you can see it in the garage. Larry then leave the house at six.

Five a m and doesn't return home for almost eleven and a half hours you could have moved on. Why did you stay on this case and take matters in Tehran, hands and my mind? My job wasn't nearly complete. It was just beginning. It was just beginning when I see Mary Chris and I see her cry just like I gotta figure this out. As Billy little continued investigating it, just that I made to quit thrown down Mary Grace and Richard turned to local media and organised. The first search for Maya on the hiking trails behind her house, desperate for answers one of the action, and we want something Stana Home sitting down, wasn't gonna bring us answers. Rabies

Her sister goes on television and is begging the public for help me find my missing sister and that really move people a later.

They start another search warrant and please take the navigation system, GPS from Larry's Lexus. Meanwhile, Myers friends had been revealing details about the couples, relationship say March or so of twenty twenty. The obsession became obvious.

back in January of twenty twenty when they started. A mental problems lie call. Every single one of us trying to ask or how to intervene into the marriage. Larry was complaining that Maya was having a mid life crisis worse, but going out we're friends, we're off then and she's level, single friends Mrs Ferrer, saying you know it's not me. It's it's Larry, Maya's friend Claudia spent time with a couple socially. His relationship was very kind to the side and just very watchful from what my observation of hand. He always had to be in control. Claudia recall, an instance when Larry couldn't get a hold of Maya at work. You know Somebody might be agitated or you ok hear their voice.

She was growing into someone new strong woman for sure. As the months passed, in two thousand twenty Larry's, rip on Maya take. It is now tracking her spending habit, he's gotten into all of her.

Her feet go down to that. Her steps led straight to the grave by Maya in his own words. He said that he was getting desperate and he felt that the devil is something at some Point Maya's family says they told her. They were concerned about what was unfolding at that time. We knew my sister's ready to know. We told her what where your decision, as were here, to support you by the fall of two thousand twenty Billy little says: Larry was growing increasingly desperate.

Onto Maya, and so what does he do? He goes to witchcraft. There are people on the internet and also you for five bucks. You know how to gay spell that will get her to be attracted to you to bind you're marriage and blood and that's when he tried to now does low but blood alter. That is the picture that he took up the altar and all photo of them with blood thrown on, little says, Larry contacted numerous, spell castors and even wrote of review for one and he writes of this spoke asked. She is kind professional and courteous. My casting has not yet manifested, but I'm really hoping and counting on it leaving a review like one would leave on Yelp for a food order. My concern over right, I got five starts. Could judge spoke ass, her so he's not quite as smart as he thinks he is. He doesn't realise at all that stuff is

the fingernail by December of two thousand twenty Maya and Larry were sleeping in separate rooms. Little says Maya found speakers in her room and confronted Larry. He admitted he had been playing subliminal messages. While she slept my message. the friend and sent her marriage was definitely over. What was message that was coming out of those speakers under the bed is right there no no more men Norman on New year's weekend Maya told her family. Her decision ready planet Mars, she's finally made up her mind. I just told her to speak up for the speaker on January, seventh, the last day she was heard from Maya filled out this for and made an appointment with a divorce attorney.

I did told them what I found and time and time again, there was just no follow up by the police. The tulip Vista Police Department declined request for an interview, but in April to in twenty one? They told local media that it had been an act. investigation since MID January and they were keeping their cards close to the vest. There is very minimal details in that was part our frustration. Working with the police Family now is having various rallies in front of the truly Vista police department. basically demanding answers, but the police are not going to release a lot of information to the family. This is potentially a murder investigation in May.

of two thousand twenty one. The police served Larry Malea Day with a gun, violence restraining order, among them reasons. Investigator had found this image marries phone another photo. Which had been rejected, featured the couples four year old son, surrounded by weapons authorities retrieved more firearms from the Melia Day House. I think I was a smart move by the police protects the children while they try to buy a little bit of time, but it also protects them if they have to go in a race. In the summer of two thousand and twenty one investigators named Larry Malea Day a person of interest in his wife's case. She keep wondering if this can be the time to take a rest Larry on a toolbar nineteenth nine months after the disappearance of Maya investigators did just then at one thousand, one hundred and forty two, a dot m, the Chula Vista Police Department Swat team arrested

Larry million a day and with that even What evidence came to light Myers, family and friends anticipated the news of an arrest for months islanders and that there is a case that needs to be built. There's only one shot bites I just seem like it was too long. Yet when my husband Larry Mill, yet he was arrested for her murder in October two thousand twenty one. It was still a mixed.

Range of emotions, Claudia. What was your reaction relieved yet at the same time, sad, and so, although you keep that hope up now it became Rio. We have different reactions. Finally, she started crying his twenty years. My sister in law, play in a press conference San Diego County district attorney summer Stephan laid out some of the details of the month. Long law enforcement investigation in Hamas light case, and there is often a twin worrying events in this game. So last reported that may made was to divorce

That call was at three forty, eight p m homesick. Eddie cameras captured her arriving at our house at four forty two p m. There were no images of her leaving. Investigators had also turned up more evidence of Larry. Trying to keep me in the marriage through the super. Natural before she went missing. I've never had a case why that was involved but the spells they discovered went beyond more than asking Maya to be attracted to occur. Bring to the arrest warrant Larry now, did Maya to be harmed people, went missing. Leary sent this message to a website that claims to cast spells pleased, punish, may and incapacitate her enough. So she can't leave the house It's time to take the gloves off. It was evident stacy of his unbalanced mindset and homicidal ideation

day. Maya went missing, Larry sent countless emails to spell castors. I think she wants me to snap, I'm shaking inside ready to snap watch more. According to the arrest warrant, Larry have allegedly snapped before one of my friends said that my I told her Larry choked her to the point where she was unconscious. I just dad, always mad heckling. Kid Maya had never share that with Mary Chris, she didn't shared she's going to catch, you didn't want family to worry about her. She was also getting Larry when she was protecting the children. Were you where of any physical abuse. Now she would say little things here and there they not always the same person. They were already incidents dad when huge red flags.

that if we all knew it at the same time, it would have been a bigger picture. I feel guilty You know after the fact, once she one missing, a very harsh reality from that wasn't able to operate The normal forever live with that nobody had the full picture right. Besides the two of them. Evelyn Bud. Regos is an associate professor of sociology who teaches on topics of race and identity at the University of San Francisco.

That kind of like Val S, passionate love from controlling behave.

Larry Mill, yet take checks, all the boxes for domestic partner abuse. He knew where Maya's pressure points were, and so he weapon eyes her work. He weapon eyes her children, her family, her religion before he got desperate enough. try. These other means of controlling her and keep her in that marriage Rodriguez suggests when livery turned to spell casting as another method to control Maya he may have been inspired

an old world form of folk magic in the Philippines, and this is south of flag, the old world to our parents. Somehow that has evolved into what I think Larry was able to find broad regos point so that it is important not to lose sight of what the issue is here really. This story here is that this was an abusive partner, regardless of his culture, who was exhibiting every single fine of domestic abuse. That's one investment discovered than it is today and with buyers alleged killer behind bars, her family Their work was not done. Don't they were more determined than ever to find her energized with

New information has come out after Larry's arrest. A later VON was part of that search. The thing that this case really needed was to be able to know where to search that The problem here you can't just search the entire world. Where are we were now? It's a hot spot. The learned that brought ones body like Little investigators obtained footage that showed Larry leaving the house in the couples Lexus for almost eleven and a half hours the day after his wife was last heard from analyze the cars navigation system, according to the information that we have now made, was about two and a half hours out from this house. When he put his address in somewhere, two and a half hours away from his house Larry had entered his address to find his way back home that

formation was enough to centre the searches on places. Larry was familiar with like this desert area, where he and Maya had gone hiking. What are you specifically looking for as you Comus area at this point? Fortunately, I save over prices if a Claudine, her bones, over the months volunteers have responded to her families calls to the community and Joint team Maya, whistled thankful, Last and everybody here, reviving other I'm sending Vassili retired horrified by gotta Can we go on which systematically cover areas? someone could possibly hard body in its very sad, even talk about, but you have to do it in deeds. the proverbial needle in a haystack? Why are you here today? Are ellipses work and family? Possibly bring peace to the family always makes

I like somebody what drives you to do this for a total strangers over you need to know. I felt that it should be a community effort. You just want closer, for this fear me so much And that's why we're out here so I will keep coming. They deserve it. My head serves as the search for my continues in the vast lands of eastern San, Diego. The quest for justice is just beginning in the halls of the San Diego court system. The problem with this case, if you dont, have a body what would inspire join a search missing person, inside the Mai ameliorated disappearance that forty eight hours dot com.

right now is a military examination. Hearing Jessica was so damage. Both factors worked and want to be with them anymore and economic cycle Larry Malea Day has been behind bars. Since his arrest in October, two thousand twenty one awaiting trial I would like to enter a fee of not yet he played not guilty. Charges of murder and illegal possession of an assault weapon if convicted Larry could face up to twenty five years to life imprisonment for this initiative, although there is still hope Maya could be found any day of victims. Body is not required to convict someone of murder, and this is one of the strongest circumstantial lover saying you don't have a body, so what you don't get to get away with murder

because you're good at disposing of bodies, but Larry maintains Maya left on her own. His defence attorney Bonita Martinez, turned down a request for an interview, but spoke with reporters. After a hearing where Larry was denied bail, his wife was used to leaving the house in the path, and you cannot rule I'll bet, she's alive Larry maintains the Maya voluntarily left him left the children to start our own new life. Do you believe that no nope not at all, never believed that. Never my love kids, no way she would have up and left. The best argument for the defense here is my is not dead. They dont have a body she's alive

attorney, allayed Yvonne, says a no body. Defence has worked before. In other cases, she says. Without a body the prosecution may be at a disadvantage, they need strong evidence and the question is: what do they have as something that they're gonna bring out in a court room that definitely ties Larry to murder? Those loud bangs recorded on the neighbouring security camera may not be proof of anything. An FBI analysis was inconclusive. They connect definitively save as regards

because the sound quality was not good enough. In November two thousand twenty one Larry's attorney file documents with the San Diego superior court with more allegations about Maya. They believe that she had this wild lifestyle that she was out. There haven't fair she's dating different men off the internet as she's drinkin excessively and she's become this completely different person and sent their point into third party culpability if she's harmed it was somebody else, but those Those two Maya say: none of this is true, whereas parents claiming court documents that Maya was essentially a party girl. Definitely not The Maya that I know who is a devoted mother when she was not at work. She was with her kids, her family.

Long after my his disappearance, Mary Christian Richard, say Larry, cut off contact between the children, and Maya side of the family, which is true, to see I'm going from hanging now. jumping up my bag, seeing them Elise was twice a month at least So my Salem at all. For nine months, the million dead children, are still living at home in the care of Larry's parents. But after months of not seeing them, my his family was granted visitation rights in member two thousand twenty one and now spend time with them every other Saturday, but the fight is not. Over.
