More than five years after Maya Millete was last seen at her Chula Vista home, a jury has found her husband, Larry Millete, guilty of first-degree murder. In this special bonus episode, CBS News legal analyst Caroline Polisi revisits the evidence, the witnesses, and the unanswered questions that defined this no-body murder trial. From allegations of control and marital conflict to digital evidence, missing miles, and the now-infamous spellcaster testimony, we examine the case that captivated Southern California and beyond. And even with a verdict, the central question remains unanswered: Where's Maya?
The prosecution and defense have rested their cases. Jurors heard testimony about Maya Millete's secret relationship, a hidden Instagram account, Larry Millete's communications with an online spiritual practitioner. Prosecutors also questioned witnesses about the digital evidence they say helps reconstruct the events surrounding Maya's disappearance and where investigators searched for her. CBS News legal analyst Caroline Polisi and “48 Hours” consultant Herman Weisberg discuss the significance of witness testimony for the outcome of this trial.
