Episode Details

Larry Millete has been convicted of first-degree murder in the disappearance and presumed death of his wife, Maya, whose body was never found. Prosecutors argued he killed her out of desperation after she sought a divorce, citing disturbing text messages he sent to people he thought could “do magic” — initially pleading for her to fall back in love, then escalating to wanting her sick or dependent. The defense countered that Larry was investigating her alleged affair and gaslighting, portraying his actions as heartbreak-driven, not murderous. The case took a darker turn when a vial found at home tested positive for coniine, a poison from poison hemlock — a toxin Larry had been researching online. The defense dismissed this as a wild coincidence, blaming a child or his own despair. The jury bought the prosecution’s case, convicting Millete. He now faces up to 25 years to life, plus an upcoming trial for assault weapon possession.
