- 3:23Speaker 1: We're going to snowboarding on that Thursday, January seventh. That
- 3:30Speaker 1: was the last message that we got from her. We
- 3:33Speaker 1: wanted to confirm that the celebration is still still be
- 3:37Speaker 1: on and on January eighth, that will be a Friday.
- 3:42Speaker 1: We didn't hear anything from them at all. She's offline.
- 3:46Speaker 1: Her phone is off. And she's the type of person
- 3:49Speaker 1: that she's always on her phone, like she's always updating
- 3:52Speaker 1: her you know, her Facebook profile. She you could actually
- 3:56Speaker 1: tell she's always online. But all of their phones are off.
- 4:01Speaker 1: My brother, UM, who has a friend that we're going
- 4:05Speaker 1: to be staying, who has a cabin a friend that
- 4:08Speaker 1: has a cabin in Victor here in California? Is that
- 4:11Speaker 1: um for the snowboarding? Um? They he was asking them
- 4:17Speaker 1: if the birthday celebration is confirmed or not, because we
- 4:21Speaker 1: need to they need to get the key for that cabin.
- 4:24Speaker 1: And so my brother was calling my sister May on
- 4:28Speaker 1: her phone. My brother in law, Larry even a two kids,
- 4:32Speaker 1: so he's been calling them and all of their phones
- 4:36Speaker 1: are off that day. So that was that was very
- 4:39Speaker 1: unuseful for them to be not be online at all.
- 4:43Speaker 1: So that was kind of alarm as alarm as a
- 4:46Speaker 1: little bit on that Friday. Um. So one of my
- 4:49Speaker 1: brother there's a lot of us, I mean, there's six siblings,
- 4:52Speaker 1: so there's gonna be a few brothers and few sisters here.
- 4:55Speaker 1: So one of my brother went and check on my
- 4:59Speaker 1: sister May on that Friday afternoon after he after work
- 5:03Speaker 1: for him and then he um, when he got to
- 5:07Speaker 1: the house, my brother Larry was there, and then you know,
- 5:09Speaker 1: he opened the door and he told my brother that
- 5:13Speaker 1: my sister may has been in her room all day
- 5:17Speaker 1: on that Friday, UM, that she's been lost in her room.
- 5:21Speaker 1: She locked herself on the room and one of her daughter,
- 5:25Speaker 1: her second daughter. UM. She told my brother in law,
- 5:28Speaker 1: I mean my brother, that my sister has been in
- 5:31Speaker 1: her room for eleven hours. So that was you know,
- 5:36Speaker 1: but that was alarming. And then but my brother in law,
- 5:39Speaker 1: Larry told my brother that they had an argument, a
- 5:44Speaker 1: huge argument that Thursday night, the night before. But my
- 5:50Speaker 1: but anyways, my brother went and knock on my my
- 5:53Speaker 1: sister's bedroom hen out and you know, of course there's
- 5:57Speaker 1: no answer. Um. My brother thought that maybe she's my
- 6:01Speaker 1: sister just wanted to be left alone, that she might
- 6:03Speaker 1: be sleeping. UM. So he didn't really thought much about it. UM,
- 6:07Speaker 1: So he left the house. And then the following day, Saturday,
- 6:12Speaker 1: I thought, you know, that was gonna ask she hadn't
- 6:15Speaker 1: been online, we cannot contact her, so UM that I
- 6:20Speaker 1: was very concerned. UM. I told my dad to go
- 6:24Speaker 1: check on her. And really my dad lived with me.
- 6:27Speaker 1: We're about an hour and a half away from them,
- 6:29Speaker 1: so I told my dad to gold check on my
- 6:31Speaker 1: sister on that Saturday. Um, they got to the house
- 6:35Speaker 1: maybe about lunch time. Larry was there, the kids were there,
- 6:40Speaker 1: and then my dad and my mom went to the
- 6:43Speaker 1: room and knock on the door, and of course the
- 6:46Speaker 1: room was still locked, and but Larry has a key,
- 6:50Speaker 1: so he was able to unlock the door. And then
- 6:53Speaker 1: when they opened the door, my sister was gone. She's
- 6:55Speaker 1: not there. Um. At that time, my my brother Lolari
- 7:01Speaker 1: told my parents that my sister probably had gone for
- 7:05Speaker 1: an early walk or a hike, or probably somebody had
- 7:10Speaker 1: picked her up for wine tasting, or she went out
- 7:13Speaker 1: with her friends. So but and then so at that time,
- 7:19Speaker 1: you know, that was very concerning. I was told she
- 7:21Speaker 1: was not home. So me and my husband Richard, on
- 7:25Speaker 1: that afternoon, Saturday afternoon, we went to we went to
- 7:30Speaker 1: San Diego right away because you know, we couldn't find

- 9:10Speaker 1: when she goes dark on social media in the middle
- 9:14Speaker 1: of planning a birthday party for her child that the
- 9:17Speaker 1: family gets suspicious. You know, Mary Chris, I'm going to
- 9:20Speaker 1: circle back to you about why you decided to report

- 9:41Speaker 1: said disarray? There's boxes everywhere, but um boxes? Why are
- 9:47Speaker 1: their boxes everywhere? Well? Yeah, the it's because Lara's parents
- 9:54Speaker 1: just move out of the house. They used to live
- 9:57Speaker 1: with them, but that December when it's they left and
- 10:02Speaker 1: moved to Texas. Gotcha, there were boxes so it was

- 10:11Speaker 1: To you, Paul Best, joining me report with Fox News
- 10:14Speaker 1: and Fox Business all the most recent news coming from
- 10:17Speaker 1: the Crack Digital team there at Fox News Digital, and
- 10:20Speaker 1: that would be you, Paul Best, and you're compadre Jordan Early.
- 10:24Speaker 1: But let me ask you this, Paul Best. I know
- 10:27Speaker 1: that you are a renowned reporter. But have you ever
- 10:31Speaker 1: planned a birthday party for a child? I gotta say
- 10:38Speaker 1: I've never planned a birthday party for a child. Okay,
- 10:40Speaker 1: so Paul, let me tell you something. Being the mom
- 10:43Speaker 1: of twins that have just turned thirteen, if you want
- 10:46Speaker 1: to throw a party, as apparently may did going for
- 10:51Speaker 1: a snowboarding trip up to Big Sir, that takes a
- 10:55Speaker 1: lot of doing. And what mommy doesn't do is go
- 10:59Speaker 1: dark seventy two hours before the big party. Right there,
- 11:05Speaker 1: Something is way wrong. Paul, bring me up today, Paul
- 11:08Speaker 1: Best joining me Fox Fox Business. Yeah, so I want
- 11:11Speaker 1: to be clear. I mean Larry Miliette. He's acknowledged that
- 11:15Speaker 1: the couple had problems. He told KGTV, a local news
- 11:19Speaker 1: outlet in San Diego, just a few days after Maya
- 11:21Speaker 1: went missing, that they had their quote ups and downs
- 11:24Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. The latest news from our end, We've
- 11:29Speaker 1: talked to two witnesses who have told us that Larry
- 11:32Speaker 1: started last summer suspecting that Maya may have been seeing
- 11:36Speaker 1: someone else. This is what he was suspecting, and that
- 11:39Speaker 1: he immediately started making any for that. Paul Best has
- 11:43Speaker 1: a boyfriend, soged. So I've talked to one source who
- 11:47Speaker 1: has heard these conversations firsthand, who actually tells me that
- 11:51Speaker 1: Larry started inquiring about potentially hiring a hitman to kill
- 11:57Speaker 1: this supposed boyfriend in the late summer of twenty twenty. Now,
- 12:02Speaker 1: I know what you may be thinking, how serious was this? Actually?
- 12:05Speaker 1: Is this a guy who's flexing his muscle? My source
- 12:09Speaker 1: tells me that he mentioned it many times several times
- 12:12Speaker 1: throughout the fall of twenty twenty, and that he quote
- 12:15Speaker 1: seemed pretty serious about it. The last time that he
- 12:19Speaker 1: mentioned it the last two times was on Christmas Day,
- 12:22Speaker 1: which is just a couple weeks before Maya went missing,
- 12:25Speaker 1: and then on January fourth, just a few days before
- 12:28Speaker 1: Maya went missing. Again, I haven't been able to confirm
- 12:33Speaker 1: how far along he got in this plan, but the
- 12:36Speaker 1: two of vise the police department has told me they're
- 12:38Speaker 1: aware of this allegation, they've investigated it. But at the
- 12:44Speaker 1: same time, were you know, three months later later after
- 12:48Speaker 1: Maya went missing. Now and the two of us, the
- 12:50Speaker 1: police department tells us that they have no evidence of
- 12:53Speaker 1: a crime, They have no suspects or persons of interest
- 12:56Speaker 1: in this allegation or Maya's an disappearance more generally. Okay,
- 13:01Speaker 1: I'm trying to digest everything. Paul Best has just told me,
- 13:04Speaker 1: joining me from Fox News and Fox Business. So, Paul Best,
- 13:08Speaker 1: the source is telling you of claims the husband, Larry Miliette,
- 13:14Speaker 1: wanted to hire a hit man to get rid of
- 13:16Speaker 1: the perceived boyfriend. Two questions. Is your source anonymous? My
- 13:22Speaker 1: source is anonymous. Um. They fear for their safety, they
- 13:27Speaker 1: have a family, and for that reason, did they go
- 13:31Speaker 1: to police? Paul? Did they go to police? They have,
- 13:34Speaker 1: They have told police. They have told the Chulavis To
- 13:37Speaker 1: detectives about what Larry allegedly told them. Um. But again,
- 13:44Speaker 1: the Chulavista Police Department, the last time I talked to
- 13:47Speaker 1: them on the phone was Sunday and they told me, Look,
- 13:51Speaker 1: we're aware of the allegation. We're investigating it. We're investigating
- 13:55Speaker 1: a lot of other leads. Um. But they have their
- 13:58Speaker 1: adamant they have no evidence of a crime right now,
- 14:01Speaker 1: Paul Best, do we have any evidence there was a boyfriend? Um?
- 14:04Speaker 1: You know, I'm this is all uh Larry's thinking is
- 14:09Speaker 1: what I'm getting from the suspect. Does that mean now
- 14:11Speaker 1: were yes? I have not confirmed, Um, any sort of boyfriend.
- 14:17Speaker 1: Okay on my end, Okay, gotcha guys with me? Paul Best,
- 14:21Speaker 1: Fox News and Fox Business. You know, do you doctor
- 14:27Speaker 1: Angela Arnold psychiatrists joining me? Have you noticed? Did you
- 14:30Speaker 1: hear what Paul Best just said? He said that Sheila
- 14:33Speaker 1: Vista PD says they have no evidence of a crime.
- 14:37Speaker 1: This woman did not just leave her three children in
- 14:40Speaker 1: the middle of planning a birthday party. I think Mary
- 14:43Speaker 1: Chris wasn't for the eleven year old little girl? Was
- 14:45Speaker 1: that who the party was for? Correctly, she's done, I mean,
- 14:48Speaker 1: just do your love it? Yes, so, I mean, doctor Angie,
- 14:52Speaker 1: she's not gonna walk out on her daughter's a big
- 14:56Speaker 1: shin dig No, that's not gonna happen. I mean, how
- 15:00Speaker 1: can the costs believe that no crime has occurred? And
- 15:04Speaker 1: what do they what do they think? What basis do
- 15:06Speaker 1: they use? I mean, what do they have to see
- 15:09Speaker 1: to say that a crime has been committed? To know?
- 15:12Speaker 1: You know, what about a shell nut? You're twenty seven
- 15:16Speaker 1: years metro major case? What about it? What's the hold up?
- 15:19Speaker 1: No evidence? I'm a crown come on, look, no person
- 15:22Speaker 1: of interest. I'll tell you who I'm in arrested in.
- 15:24Speaker 1: I'm in arrested in this spouse. This lady is supposedly
- 15:27Speaker 1: locked in her room. He doesn't see her. He's got
- 15:29Speaker 1: a kid, think going in check on her. They've got
- 15:32Speaker 1: maricle problems. Uh, supposedly the last person to see or
- 15:36Speaker 1: hear from her. This lady breaks her norm. You know
- 15:39Speaker 1: how important it is habit evidence. You know what they
- 15:43Speaker 1: do on a daily basis as a victim, you know, learning,
- 15:46Speaker 1: learning what their characteristics and routines are. This lady has
- 15:49Speaker 1: fell off the map. She's normally talking with her family,
- 15:52Speaker 1: She goes, she lives on social media when she's not
- 15:55Speaker 1: taking care of her children and not working, and there

- 16:09Speaker 1: been named a suspect. In fact, Chullis to PD say
- 16:12Speaker 1: they don't even know if a crime has occurred. Cheryl McCollum,
- 16:17Speaker 1: it would be a cold day in hubl that my
- 16:21Speaker 1: husband got to take to his bed for eleven hours
- 16:25Speaker 1: in oh and you know I would be dead if
- 16:28Speaker 1: I did not come out of the bedroom for eleven
- 16:31Speaker 1: hours to take care of the twins. That's not gonna happen. Well,
- 16:34Speaker 1: let's point out the obvious that nobody has said yet.
- 16:38Speaker 1: He had a key he let himself in, which means
- 16:42Speaker 1: the bedroom door was locked from the outside. She didn't
- 16:45Speaker 1: lock herself in that room. He could lock her in
- 16:48Speaker 1: that room. That's very telling to me that there's a
- 16:54Speaker 1: locked room that he's looking around with a key to
- 16:56Speaker 1: that Supposedly she's on the other side of the door.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Number two. She was also supposed to meet with a
- 17:02Speaker 1: divorce lawyer the day that she was right. You know what.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Let me follow up on what Cheryl McCollum, And that's
- 17:08Speaker 1: why she's the founder and director of the Cold Case
- 17:10Speaker 1: Research Institute. That's why she's the forensic expert for pointing
- 17:14Speaker 1: out things many people miss. Let me go to Richard
- 17:18Speaker 1: juliet This is Maya's May's brother in law. Richard, what
- 17:25Speaker 1: about that text, the text or the email that the husband,
- 17:30Speaker 1: Larry Miliette, sent may Maya and him And it looked
- 17:37Speaker 1: as if blood was spattered all over it, candles and
- 17:40Speaker 1: flowers all around it. Yeah, that's the picture that he
- 17:45Speaker 1: sent out to. I think it was a family member
- 17:48Speaker 1: or a friend. Um that wasn't directly sent to me. Um,
- 17:52Speaker 1: But it's extremely our the behavior from a husband. I
- 17:57Speaker 1: know he was desperate and safety marriage. Well, telling it
- 18:00Speaker 1: a blue spattered beature is not a way to do
- 18:03Speaker 1: it as far as I'm concerned. Richard Crime Stories with

- 22:07Speaker 1: where are the children right now? Richard? The chilling aren't
- 22:10Speaker 1: with him right now? With Larry m Arry taking to anybody. Um,
- 22:15Speaker 1: he's not replying to any of the phone calls or
- 22:18Speaker 1: text messages. Like my wife said, we have a lot
- 22:21Speaker 1: of birthdays passed by in the last couple of months.
- 22:24Speaker 1: My daughter just turned eighteen. He invited him and the
- 22:26Speaker 1: kids to celebrate that the eighteen birthday with us. He has,
- 22:31Speaker 1: you know, no no no response, sero response from him.
- 22:35Speaker 1: He's keeping the kids close to him, and you can
- 22:38Speaker 1: only imagine why maybe you know. Unfortunately we have no
- 22:43Speaker 1: answers to why. You know. I've been noticing everything your
- 22:47Speaker 1: family is doing. You have a prayer visual every day
- 22:50Speaker 1: at five zero one pm signifying May's birthday, which was
- 22:55Speaker 1: Mate one. You have a weekly zoom prayer chain going meeting.
- 23:01Speaker 1: You have conducted multiple searches. You have got Lamar Advertising
- 23:07Speaker 1: has donated a billboard of MIA's picture and the tip
- 23:12Speaker 1: line six one nine nine one five one five one.
- 23:16Speaker 1: You're doing so much to try to find her. You've
- 23:20Speaker 1: had vigils, You've had a run marathon run to bring
- 23:25Speaker 1: attention to her missing. While it's my understanding the husband,
- 23:29Speaker 1: who was not a suspect or a person of interest,
- 23:32Speaker 1: has lawyered up and stopped talking to police. Paul Best
- 23:35Speaker 1: Fox Flix Business, Is that all true? That is all true?
- 23:39Speaker 1: Fox five in San Diego first recorded on February third,
- 23:42Speaker 1: which is about three weeks after Mya went missing, that
- 23:45Speaker 1: Larry had retained a lawyer and he stopped cooperating with police.
- 23:51Speaker 1: At this point, from my understanding, he had already kind
- 23:55Speaker 1: of kept the kids close at home. He had not
- 23:59Speaker 1: gone now and assisted in any of the searches or
- 24:03Speaker 1: anything like that. I also want to make one thing,
- 24:06Speaker 1: another kind of element to this clear. Billy Little, he's
- 24:11Speaker 1: an attorney with the Cold Case Foundation who has been
- 24:15Speaker 1: helping Maya's family over the last few months. He actually
- 24:18Speaker 1: walked through the house on January eleventh, so four days
- 24:22Speaker 1: after Maya went missing. Mary Chris mentioned earlier that the
- 24:26Speaker 1: house was kind of in disarray under normal conditions, Billy said,
- 24:30Speaker 1: and Billy has talked about this in media. He told
- 24:33Speaker 1: me this that the air conditioning was on full blast.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Whenever he walked in, windows open. He said it looked
- 24:40Speaker 1: like Larry had been cleaning. He also described what he
- 24:45Speaker 1: said is a freshly repaired hole next to the door
- 24:48Speaker 1: handle of Larry and Maya's bedroom door. He said it
- 24:53Speaker 1: was fresh to the touch, and he told me that
- 24:55Speaker 1: Larry at the time blamed it on Maya. Now, I
- 24:58Speaker 1: asked Larry about this. I asked one if there was
- 25:01Speaker 1: a hole in the bedroom door. And I asked him too,
- 25:03Speaker 1: if it's freshly repaired. He gave me a blanket. No,
- 25:07Speaker 1: So it's unclear which of those two questions he was
- 25:10Speaker 1: responding to. But again, you know, and then so Billy Little.
- 25:17Speaker 1: That all came on January eleventh, and then it was
- 25:19Speaker 1: another two weeks, nearly two weeks before the Chulavis the
- 25:23Speaker 1: Police Department acquired a search warrant to search that house.
- 25:28Speaker 1: So then on January twenty third, two weeks after that,
- 25:32Speaker 1: they did go. It seemed extensive. They were there for
- 25:34Speaker 1: about seven hours. They used K nine. They searched the
- 25:37Speaker 1: house in and out, so they would have gotten to
- 25:40Speaker 1: it at that point. And I asked the Chulavis the
- 25:43Speaker 1: police Department, you know, they've been mom on sharing any
- 25:46Speaker 1: sort of evidence or updates on the case. Asked them
- 25:48Speaker 1: about this hole in the bedroom door, and again they
- 25:52Speaker 1: told me, you know, we are investigating it, but we
- 25:56Speaker 1: have no evidence of a crime. To Mira, Chris, Juliet,
- 26:00Speaker 1: uh Julie and this is my sister, what do you
- 26:03Speaker 1: make of that? Or Tulli is to PD telling you
- 26:06Speaker 1: something other than they don't see evidence of a crime. Yeah,
- 26:10Speaker 1: it is um, it is arctually heartbreaking and um frustrating
- 26:15Speaker 1: for us the family, you know, um, but I told them,
- 26:20Speaker 1: you know at the beginning that I trust them. I
- 26:23Speaker 1: don't know how you know, the the legal system is
- 26:27Speaker 1: or you know, the authority works. So I'm we are
- 26:32Speaker 1: depending on you know, on their investigation, so we don't
- 26:37Speaker 1: know better. So that's what I'm saying. So we're just
- 26:39Speaker 1: depending on them and we trust them. I told them,
- 26:41Speaker 1: you know till of is the Bullice Department, that I
- 26:44Speaker 1: trust them. So I really don't know. But right now,
- 26:48Speaker 1: um as um Paul has said, we are we have
- 26:53Speaker 1: Billy Little that's been leading us so um uh. We
- 26:58Speaker 1: are following his his and his instruction crime stories with
- 27:13Speaker 1: Nancy Grace. Guys, we are talking about the disappearance of
- 27:19Speaker 1: a thirty nine year old mother of three in the
- 27:21Speaker 1: midst of planning her eleven year old daughter's birthday party.
- 27:24Speaker 1: Then suddenly it all goes dark. According to the husband,
- 27:28Speaker 1: who has been sending very unusual texts and email messages,
- 27:33Speaker 1: she took to her bedroom for eleven straight hours and
- 27:36Speaker 1: lo and behole when the door was opened. Cheryl McCollum,
- 27:38Speaker 1: she was gone. Guys, take a listen to Larry Miliette,
- 27:43Speaker 1: the husband speaking to Vanessa van Hike at ABC ten.
- 27:48Speaker 1: So you got into an argument and then the last
- 27:52Speaker 1: time you saw her was actually in the house. Yes,
- 27:56Speaker 1: so she didn't and she didn't take a vehicle. No
- 27:59Speaker 1: one's her leaves. Um no, but on Friday, Um, I
- 28:04Speaker 1: could still hear, but I didn't physically see her when
- 28:07Speaker 1: I got home. But that's like normal two because we
- 28:10Speaker 1: you know, we have lots of bedrooms and two story house,
- 28:12Speaker 1: and you know we kind of like, well, I give
- 28:15Speaker 1: her space. So but that's why every time someone says
- 28:19Speaker 1: Thursday gets us physically you know, or you know, visually
- 28:24Speaker 1: see her. But for me, it's a Friday, Friday night.
- 28:29Speaker 1: You know, I can hear like personally around making dinner
- 28:32Speaker 1: for herself in another bedroom. I'm speaking with the kids
- 28:34Speaker 1: in another bedroom, so upstairs and she's downstairs. Kind of deal.
- 28:38Speaker 1: It was like kind of like a roommate um thing,
- 28:41Speaker 1: kind of like giving each other space. Wait did I
- 28:43Speaker 1: just hear him say she was making did dinner in
- 28:46Speaker 1: the bedroom? Did he just say that? Um? Okay, Mary
- 28:52Speaker 1: Chris Juliet, is it true that your sister had filled
- 28:56Speaker 1: out all the paperwork the intake form to get a
- 29:00Speaker 1: divorce lawyer. And she was about thirty six seventy two
- 29:04Speaker 1: hours before actually meeting with divorce lawyer when she goes missing. Correct,
- 29:10Speaker 1: So that's that Thursday, That Thursday afternoon she built up
- 29:16Speaker 1: the divorce lawyer paperwork. She's just admitted it about two
- 29:21Speaker 1: or three o'clock in the afternoon to doctor Angela Arnold
- 29:24Speaker 1: Psakiastris jointing me out of Atlanta. Isn't it true statistically
- 29:28Speaker 1: that the single most dangerous time in a volatile relationship
- 29:31Speaker 1: is when the woman actually tries to leave. Oh God,
- 29:34Speaker 1: you could also ants the imagine what's fled up to that.
- 29:38Speaker 1: That's what I'm seeing her thinking about. Imagine what has
- 29:41Speaker 1: fled up to her actually wanting to leave. Most women
- 29:45Speaker 1: don't want to leave a good, stable, safe environment for
- 29:50Speaker 1: their children, right Cheryl McCollum. But look at the evidence.
- 29:54Speaker 1: No cell phone activity, the cell just goes straight divorce mail.
- 29:59Speaker 1: No at a card atm activity, no indication that she
- 30:04Speaker 1: has been seen spotted, No friend has reported her to
- 30:08Speaker 1: be with them. She's not at a wine tasting, she's
- 30:11Speaker 1: not at a jeep round up. Her jeeps park right
- 30:14Speaker 1: there at the house. Well, she didn't fly out the window. Um.
- 30:19Speaker 1: And another thing, what do you make According to other sources,
- 30:24Speaker 1: the husband, Larry Milietta, who was not a person of interest,
- 30:28Speaker 1: was sending up to one hundred texts a day. Did
- 30:31Speaker 1: you see that text? Quoting Proverbs? And I'm certainly no
- 30:35Speaker 1: biblical scholar, I can't plead to that, but I read
- 30:40Speaker 1: the text and it's all about an adulterous woman's feat
- 30:47Speaker 1: lead her straight to death, to hell and the very
- 30:53Speaker 1: clear I mean, Paul Best, let me let me ask
- 30:57Speaker 1: you have something, Cheryl, which I already know, Paul Best.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Didn't the husband show up to her place of business?
- 31:06Speaker 1: Can you imagine your husband showing up where you work
- 31:11Speaker 1: and claiming you're having an affair with a co worker
- 31:14Speaker 1: and demanding the co worker be shipped off to some
- 31:16Speaker 1: other location. Did that happen, Paul Best. Billy Little has
- 31:21Speaker 1: told me that in the course of his investigation that
- 31:25Speaker 1: Larry did contact Maya's supervisor about a mail co worker.
- 31:31Speaker 1: I've not been able to confirm that myself, but I
- 31:34Speaker 1: can just see my husband, David Lynce, trumping up the
- 31:37Speaker 1: courthouse steps to go tell the district attorney. Okay, Cheryl
- 31:40Speaker 1: McCom that was what I was going to tell you. Okay,
- 31:42Speaker 1: way in, there's another statement that we need to highlight.
- 31:46Speaker 1: That's the statement that she told family. If anything happens
- 31:50Speaker 1: to me, it was Larry. She's literally telling you, if
- 31:56Speaker 1: I am harmed or go missing, Larry did it. So
- 32:00Speaker 1: for law enforcement to say there's no evidence of a crime,
- 32:03Speaker 1: sure there is. He talked about a murder for hire.
- 32:06Speaker 1: He's the last one to see her. His own statement
- 32:09Speaker 1: says they were fighting before she left to go to
- 32:12Speaker 1: this wine tasting. There's a hundred hours of surveillance. Danny
- 32:18Speaker 1: lied to get him on cross examination. Okay, this is
- 32:21Speaker 1: what I think they need to do. Shell Nutt and
- 32:23Speaker 1: Cheryl just jump him when you want. They need to
- 32:26Speaker 1: go through the home with a luminol I don't know
- 32:28Speaker 1: if that's been done. Not just triker dogs, but cadaver dogs.
- 32:32Speaker 1: They need to get all the cell phone information, triangulate
- 32:37Speaker 1: where the cell phone last was, where the husband's cell
- 32:42Speaker 1: phone last you remember it. We just saw that happen
- 32:47Speaker 1: in the case of the rodeo crank queen who had
- 32:51Speaker 1: her cell phone, who threw away the lover's cell phone
- 32:55Speaker 1: and the wife did. So we need to find where
- 32:59Speaker 1: the self was. We need to find out where his
- 33:02Speaker 1: cell phone was. Loominal and cadaver dogs, what else shall not? No,
- 33:07Speaker 1: I think you hit the nail on the head. I
- 33:08Speaker 1: think you look at those things. I think you know,
- 33:10Speaker 1: you go back through the phone records, you try to
- 33:12Speaker 1: establish exactly who was where. You know, you can triangulate
- 33:15Speaker 1: and peeing a person's location, you know, by determining, you
- 33:19Speaker 1: know what cell phone towers the phone bounced the signal
- 33:22Speaker 1: off of, you know. And also here's something else too,
- 33:25Speaker 1: And I'm gonna be very mindful that we do have
- 33:28Speaker 1: family on the phone right now. But as soon something
- 33:30Speaker 1: happened to make and she was moved from the house,
- 33:36Speaker 1: you're gonna want to look to see if there's any
- 33:38Speaker 1: missing albums from the house exactly so far, nothing's missing,
- 33:43Speaker 1: is that, right, mire, Chris Juliet, Hey, Nancy, what what
- 33:46Speaker 1: jump in his vehicle is going to be the money
- 33:49Speaker 1: tree here? Yes, on that surveillance, they will never see
- 33:52Speaker 1: her leave that house, only him. The vehicle he used
- 33:57Speaker 1: is where the evidence is going to be, I'm telling you.
- 34:00Speaker 1: And the other thing, remember all the cell phones were
- 34:02Speaker 1: shut off at the exact same time, every one of
- 34:05Speaker 1: them that's very talent. Yeah, something else too, is is
- 34:10Speaker 1: I'd like to know are there any missing things such
- 34:12Speaker 1: as a carpet or some type of large atom or
- 34:15Speaker 1: trunk or anything of that nature that's missing from the
- 34:19Speaker 1: house or that has been moved from the house to
- 34:21Speaker 1: That's a really good question. Let me go to Mary
- 34:23Speaker 1: Chris on that. Mary Chris, what about your sister's ID,
- 34:26Speaker 1: her wallet, anything in the home that looks different? What
- 34:30Speaker 1: can you tell me? We were told Bill Arry that
- 34:33Speaker 1: her cell phone and ID and a credit card that's
- 34:36Speaker 1: all she took with her. You know when he said
- 34:39Speaker 1: that she probably have gotten hiking. Again, I don't really know.
- 34:43Speaker 1: They have a lot of stuff, so I don't really
- 34:45Speaker 1: know which one are are missing. So a freezer was missing, Yeah,
- 34:51Speaker 1: the freezer was found. I looked into that share. I'm
- 34:53Speaker 1: gonna call them the freezer was found, Richard, Julie. What
- 34:56Speaker 1: can you tell me about anything taken from the home?
- 35:00Speaker 1: About her cell phone? Have cops gotten her cell phone
- 35:03Speaker 1: records or anyone else's cell phone records that we know of?
- 35:06Speaker 1: Because I agree with Cheryl, between cell phone and vehicle searches,
- 35:10Speaker 1: we're going to find something. Yeah. Unfortunately, the only thing
- 35:14Speaker 1: I know that was taken from the house or moved
- 35:17Speaker 1: from the house. From it from Larry's family member was
- 35:20Speaker 1: a freezer that he had time. Uh that freezer wasn't missing.
- 35:25Speaker 1: I believe it was Saturday. It wasn't at the house anymore. Um.
- 35:29Speaker 1: Billy Little did track it down. He did find it.
- 35:32Speaker 1: He Um it was at a at his uncle's house. Um.
- 35:37Speaker 1: And uh, he took a picture of it. But I
- 35:40Speaker 1: from me, it was from what me and my brothers, uh,
- 35:43Speaker 1: you know, to Temblanza family. Uh, we saw the picture.
- 35:47Speaker 1: It looked like a different refrigerator. So we're not a
- 35:49Speaker 1: one hundred percent sure if that's the same one that
- 35:51Speaker 1: was in the garage at Larry's house, uh that Friday.
- 35:54Speaker 1: And um, we're not one hundred percent sure if it's
- 35:57Speaker 1: the same one that's in the picture. But Billy Little
- 36:02Speaker 1: to track it down and it was at his uncle's health.
- 36:05Speaker 1: What's so significant regarding and gathering all the surveillance videos
- 36:08Speaker 1: such as from the home. If there is surveillance video
- 36:12Speaker 1: from neighbors, from businesses along the way, a lot of
- 36:16Speaker 1: that video tapes over every thirty six to seventy two hours,
- 36:20Speaker 1: it's not going to be there forever, Mary, Chris, Julie,
- 36:24Speaker 1: what is the message you're sending right now to your sister?
- 36:29Speaker 1: It's always been a tough one. I wish I hope
- 36:32Speaker 1: you know she's still listening to us, that she's still
- 36:35Speaker 1: out there. We're holding onto that little hope that she's
- 36:38Speaker 1: still out there, that she's still with us, maybe somewhere
- 36:42Speaker 1: you know, somehow that you know she's being held against
- 36:45Speaker 1: her will then that she can't contact us. But I
- 36:50Speaker 1: hope you know and pray that she's still with us,
- 36:53Speaker 1: and you know she'll be coming back homesome soon to
- 36:56Speaker 1: us erics, do you believe your sister is still alone?
- 37:01Speaker 1: It is tough. I'm hoping for them that I'm hoping
- 37:06Speaker 1: that hope. I mean holding onto that I hope that
- 37:10Speaker 1: she's still with us. But we're preparing for the worst,
- 37:15Speaker 1: for the worst. Guys, if you have any information, if
- 37:18Speaker 1: you know or think you know anything about missing May
- 37:23Speaker 1: maya Miliate, please call six one nine six nine one
