Larry Millete: Nine Bangs, a Dead Phone, a Missing Mom

Larry Millete: Nine Bangs, a Dead Phone, a Missing Mom

Author: True Crime Today April 16, 2026 Duration: 21:05

At 4:42 PM on January 7, 2021, a camera captures Maya Millete walking toward her front door. No camera in the neighborhood ever records her walking away.Between that moment and 6:45 the next morning — when Larry Millete drove the family Lexus away from the house with his phone turned off — something happened inside the Millete home that changed everything. A neighbor's camera recorded nine banging sounds that night. The FBI couldn't confirm they were gunshots. Maya's phone died at 1:25 AM and has never been recovered.This is Episode 3 of a five-part Hidden Killers series. In it, we reconstruct the full timeline of January 7 through January 9, 2021 — every call, every text, every surveillance timestamp, every lie Larry told his family and investigators in the hours after his wife vanished.The Lexus logged hundreds of unaccounted miles. Larry claimed he was at the beach. Nobody could confirm it. He told Maya's brother he'd just come from work. He hadn't. He told the family Maya was locked in a room. She wasn't there. He asked a neighbor to clean the car. He deleted every text between himself and Maya. Larry Millete has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder.
