So there was a portion of time during 2020 when she actually moved in with her brother and her sister-in-law for several weeks.

Police found a letter in the Miliete home during one of the searches there that Maya had written to Larry, basically saying, you know, this is unhealthy.

This is toxic.

I want to be happy.

And happy is not with you.

She said, let me find my peace.

And I cannot find it with you.

But Larry, according to prosecutors, was desperate to keep her with him to keep the marriage going.

Right.

And she testified that Maya was adamant about this.

And this was actually just in the days leading up to when Maya disappeared, that her family found out she was really set on this divorce and that she had said she wanted to pawn some of her luxury handbags, including a Louis Vuitton purse, for $10,000 to help pay for a divorce attorney.

In the arrest warrant, there was a friend that had told investigators at one point that Larry had choked Maya to the point that she was unconscious.

However, the defense has said there's no evidence at all of domestic violence between the two.

There was a receptionist from a law office that testified about noon on that date.

Maya made a call to that law office and said she wanted to get a divorce from her husband.

This receptionist, Destiny Johnson, testified that Maya

wanted to do the consultation virtually but destiny had told her according to her testimony we really should do this in person but maya was so afraid that larry was going to find out she didn't want to so she ended up making an appointment for a week later and and partly that was also because that weekend they were going to be celebrating her daughter's 11th birthday up in big bear with the entire family

And she, according to prosecutors, really did not want to ruin that for her children or for the entire family.

That's right.

So what we know from January 7th, according to prosecutors, there's surveillance video earlier in the day of her going out to get her Jeep washed.
