bail that she posted.

And as a condition of that bail, she is not allowed to have any contact with her daughter or to post about the case on social media.

We know that she is expected to make her plea this summer.

All right, more hearings to come on this.

And if convicted, they face the possibility of 25 years to life in state prison.

Coming up, five years after a woman disappeared from her California home, her body has still not been found, but her husband is on trial for her alleged murder.

Prosecutors say he may have used hemlock to kill her.

Chula Vista is a city in San Diego County known for its peaceful neighborhoods and suburban charm.

In Spanish, the name means beautiful view.

But what happened to a working mom on a winter's day back in 2021 would cast a dark shadow over the area.

Thursday, January 7th, a security camera captured 39-year-old Maya Miliete pulling into the driveway of the house she shared with her husband Larry and their three young children.

But investigators say there is no footage of Maya ever leaving the house after that.

Five years later, Larry is now on trial for her alleged murder.

Prosecutors believe he killed Maya, but can't say for certain how or where he disposed of her body because it has never been found.

What they do point to is a trail of evidence they say includes poison, an alleged affair, and even magic spells.

Larry's defense attorney, on the other hand, says there is no proof Maya is even dead.

And if she is, there were other people who may have killed her, like her married lover.

As Larry's trial enters its second week, NBC7 investigative reporter Alexis Rivas is here to tell us more about the proceedings so far, which, Alexis, includes a call you got from Larry himself right in the middle of trial.
