We hear her in that letter talking about how she wasn't happy in her marriage, how she knew she had to leave.

And also, if Larry actually saw this letter, it could point towards motive for him.

We know that he went as far as commissioning people to cast spells to try to keep their relationship together.

Hearing from Maya's family is so powerful for the jury.

These are the people who loved Maya.

They're the ones who also watched this marriage fall apart.

So it gives real insight into Maya, Larry, who they were, and what might have happened here.

This testimony stood out to me more than anything.

It goes back to Christmas of 2020 and a timeline that's two weeks before Maya disappeared.

According to JP's testimony, Larry reached out to him.

He was upset about Maya's affair.

And what Larry asked him is if he knew anyone who could, quote,

Get the other guy.

And at a preliminary hearing for this case, JP said that Larry was asking him if he knew someone who could kill the man that Maya was having an affair with.

So he wasn't going after Maya, but this man she was having an affair with.

And he offered to pay JP $4,000 and then another $20,000 to the person that did this.

JP says that he told Larry he didn't want to get involved.

Exactly.

And that is what makes this so significant for the prosecution.

According to JP, Larry brought it up again on New Year's Day in 2021.
