Initially, Larry Millete cooperated with the investigators. In a police interview, he stated that he last saw his wife at home on January 7, and he admitted that they had a fight, as reported by Inquirer. Later on, however, the police notified Maya Millete's family that Larry hired a lawyer and refused to cooperate further with the investigation.
Investigators were able to get a surveillance video from one of Maya's neighbors. In it, as noted by CBS 8, eight bangs that sounded like gunshots can be heard at about 10 p.m. on the date Maya was last seen alive. In the months after her disappearance, Maya's family continued their efforts to find her. In April 2021, the Chula Vista Police Department announced that it will be joining forces with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the San Diego District Attorney's Office, as well as the FBI to locate the missing woman. Investigators conducted interviews with friends, family, and neighbors, as well as scoured financial records, social media accounts, and other electronic information to get clues about what happened to Maya. About six months after her disappearance, investigators declared Maya's husband a person of interest (per NBC San Diego).
