Maya Millete’s husband ‘ranted about wanting to get the other man’ after suspecting affair as her getaway plan revealed
MAYA Millete's husband was convinced she was having an affair and "wanted to get the other man" - as her getaway plan was revealed in arrest documents.
The Sun exclusively obtained the Declaration in Support of Larry Millete's Arrest Warrant, which detailed the allegations against Maya's husband, who was arrested yesterday - ten months after the mom-of-three vanished.
Maya, 39, mysteriously disappeared in Chula Vista, California back on January 7 - the same day she scheduled a meeting with a divorce attorney for the following week and had taken steps to "physically and legally separate" from Larry.
The report described how Millete allegedly became increasingly "stalker-like" towards his wife as he monitored her movements, looked up spells to hex and incapacitate her, and took an interest in poisonous plants.
The declaration reads: "During the initial investigation, detectives discovered that May and Larry had been having marital issues for the past year, and that Larry had discovered that May had an affair."
During a New Year's family trip, Chula Vista Detective Jesse Vicente noted that "odd and erratic" Larry expressed his desire for someone to "get" the other man his wife was supposedly seeing.
"Family members described Larry's behavior as odd and erratic. During the same trip, Larry asked a family member if he knew someone to 'get' the other guy," the declaration said.
"This was interpreted as finding someone to hurt the man with whom May was having an affair. While confiding in a friend about her marital issues, May revealed that at one time in the past, Larry had choked her until she passed out.

"Larry's controlling behavior escalated throughout 2020 and into 2021."
Vicente writes that by January 4, days before the dedicated mom was reported missing, the couple's strained marriage had reached "boiling point."

Maya was determined to leave her husband, who displayed a "frantic," "desperate," and "unbalanced" mindset, with "homicidal ideations," according to the declaration.
Throughout 2020, Maya's Google search history revealed her plans to leave Larry, searching terms like "how to calculate child support payments" and "how much mortgage can I afford."
The detective noted in the declaration that these "numerous searches" were indicative of Maya "conducting research to begin a life separate from her husband."
The arrest document also noted that Maya had called a law firm on January 7 - the day she was last seen alive - about scheduling an appointment to discuss divorcing her husband after their daughter's birthday that month.
Hours later, Larry emailed a spell-caster saying: "Make her realize that we are meant to be with each other. Make her miserable without me. Make her want to sleep on the same bed for all eternity [praying hands emoji]."
'DRUG' RESEARCH
Just before 1.30am on January 8, Maya's phone activity suddenly stopped and her husband sent his final email an hour later to a spell-caster, begging for help to save his marriage.
Larry sought out these products online from September 2020 to January 2021. He abruptly asked for the hexes against his wife to be stopped on January 9.
From then on, he changed his focus to the "other man" he was convinced Maya was seeing for the next month, according to the arrest declaration.
"A review of Larry's internet searches included 'plant you taker to never wake up' (March 2020) and 'water hemlock' (November 2020)," Vicente said in the report.
"As their relationship declined, May was not interested in a physical relationship with Larry.
"In December of 2020, Larry conducted a search entitled: 'my wife doesn't want me to touch her' and then searched for 'Flunitrazepan, Rohypnol, and diphenhydramine.'
"These are central nervous system sedatives and depressants that could be used to incapacitate a person. According to the DEA website, flunitrazepan is the generic name for Rohypnol, commonly referred to as a 'date rape' drug."
HEXES AND SPELLS
After reviewing his phone and conducting search warrants, investigators discovered that Larry had allegedly sent "hundreds" of emails to various companies that sell "spells."
"These companies purport to be psychics, spirit-channellers, or white-light practitioners capable of 'energy work' who sell spells that can be cast to enhance a person's love life, eliminate debt, or make a romantic partner remain faithful."
On December 31, 2020, he allegedly emailed one spell-caster, writing: "Can you hex to have her hurt enough that she will have to depend on me or need my help?
"She's only nice to me when she needs me or sick. Thanks again. Maybe accident or broken bone."
Maya's body still has not been found as of October 20, 2021.
