Gunshots heard at Maya Millete’s home during ‘fight’ with her husband Larry the day she vanished
COPS investigating the murder of mom Maya Millete were handed audio featuring the sound of gunshots - the day she vanished - during an alleged fight with her husband Larry, her family's private investigator claims.
The 39-year-old mysteriously - the same day she scheduled a meeting with a divorce attorney to begin her separation from her husband of 21 years, it has been reported.
And today, nine months after she vanished, Maya's husband Larry was by a SWAT team who surrounded the family home in Chula Vista, California, at around 11am.
Larry's arrest comes nearly three months after he was named a person of interest on July 22.
Family members previously revealed she'd chillingly told them during a camping trip : "If anything happened to me, it would be Larry."
The family's private investigator, Billy Little Jnr, claims to have spoken to countless witnesses who have provided possible evidence to the police.
He exclusively told The Sun: "There was a fight in that house so loud it could be heard outside. There is a recording of that fight.
"After that fight, there are six gunshots. Bang, ten second pause, bang, ten second pause, bang, bang, bang, bang, four more shots."

Little added: "He's got three small children in that house who are witnesses, right? They didn't see it, but they certainly heard the fighting and they heard the gunshots.

"So what does he do? He shuffles the kids and tells them to go outside and play.
"It's 10.30pm at night. It's 40 degrees Fahrenheit. He sends the kids on a school night, outside in the backyard to go play.
"There's [also] video of the kids playing in the backyard by themselves for half an hour, out in the cold, on a school night."
The camera's original audio of the gunshots, from a neighboring property, was recorded at 10pm on January 7, the night Millete went missing.
News 8 previously released the CCTV video, showing only a rooftop, with a total of eight loud bangs heard in total, along with dogs barking.
The Chula Vista Police Department partnered with the FBI, NCIS and San Diego County District Attorney, interviewing more than 100 witnesses and writing 67 search warrants.
Attorney Little, who claims he has been 'ghosted' by police after handing over his research on the case, also alleges he also spoken to a friend of Maya's who told him Larry "choked her" during an earlier argument.
"She told her that he choked her to the point of my consciousness on the stairs of that house," he told The Sun.
"The conversation took place in 2020 [but] when the choking took place, I don't know."
Little says Maya's family and friends told him Larry was "controlling" and they were having marital problems throughout 2020, during which he accused her of cheating with three different men.
He also says he switched from being a devout Christian to being interested in witchcraft in an effort to keep Maya from leaving him.
The Chula Vista Police Department held a joint press conference at 3.30pm on October 19, the day Larry was arrested, with Maya's family and friends in attendance.
It was revealed by San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan that Larry was hit with a second charge, regarding illegal possession of assault weapon.
