The defense said that they tested that multiple times and that the vial came back negative for hemlock, three out of the four.

So they're arguing it's inconclusive.

What other theories did the prosecution have for the jury about Maya's cause of death?

There's testimony.

She had been talking to friends leading up to her disappearance about how Larry had once choked her to a point of unconsciousness.

That might explain why there's no direct forensic evidence.

And then last but not least, a neighbor told police that they heard nine gunshots and they have surveillance video.

However, the FBI said the video just wasn't good enough quality to confirm or identify those sounds as gunshots.

So there's different kinds of ways that they're sort of hinting this might have happened.

But the reality is no one really knows yet what happened to Maya and where is she now?

Alexis, we've talked about this alleged affair with a coworker.

The affair is confirmed.

According to the prosecution, they said that Maya and a coworker named Jamie Laird

began having an extramarital affair.

And so you have the affair playing into Larry's motive.

But on the flip side, you've got the defense saying there's a couple of loose ends on the other side of that affair that should have warranted some investigating of more people than just Larry.

In their opening statement, Larry's defense team suggested that Jamie Laird had acted suspiciously around the time of Maya's disappearance.

That's right.

And something the defense has pointed out that I think we didn't know until last week.

Their anniversary of their affair is the day that Maya vanished, January 7th.
