I’m so glad the sister fought for guardianship of her sister’s children. She got custody 3 days ago. I’m so glad that his parents and him no longer have control over the children. When he murdered their mom.

Wait, the husband wants his wife to be submissive and quotes Scripture from the Bible, then he turns to pagan spells, even wishing harm upon her? Wow, what a huge disconnect!! Evil man and such a coward!!
Poor Maya and those poor kids.

There's no way you can say you love your children yet harm their mother 😢

Navy should be proud and fortunate to have Billy Little as an investigator. He was choking up thinking of Maya's sister.

Way to go, Billy, thank you for not giving up and for your empathy to the family. A HERO! 🙏🙏

I know how this family is feeling, my own sister has been missing since February 9, 1991. She was 16 years old, 32 years of not knowing. My heart breaks for her children and the family, I pray they find her soon. 😢

Larry calling all the family to complain and tear her down is sociopath 101.

[dicheko]

Thank you for featuring Maya's story. May she get the justice she deserve. Rest in Peace, Maya.

#1 Rule for leaving a toxic and/or abusive marriage is get safe first‼ It is THE MOST DANGEROUS TIME‼Never ask for divorce before you are safe.

I’ve watched thousands of crime stories since I was a teen. I cannot count how many times I have seen this same story. The husband didn’t report them missing, and they made the same excuse they wanted to be alone because of an argument. They don’t cooperate or show concern to the family. These are the red flags the killer gives immediately. Pay attention to these clues everyone.

[bannanna.]

I hope they can find her remains, for her kids and family's closure and peace. Justice for you, Maya 🕯️

TELL US WHERE SHE IS LARRY!!! POS

Im glad 48 hrs covered this story, i live in this community and it has really rocked everyone.
Praying her family gets answers, justice and peace

As a San Diego native I can say the Chula Vista police department is lazy and incompetent. They definitely dropped the ball on this case but I am not shocked unfortunately

[angelagreen]

The investigator has a sweet heart. I'm glad he cared for this family. This family needs justice. 😢 ❤

[alicegongo-imxl]

My aunt went missing in her 30s it's being more than decades and my father is nearing 70s always wondering is she still alive...my father and us may never see closure...and it breaks our hearts...my prayers goes out to this family

[zandermac]

If your marriage isn’t working, Get a divorce, much better than life in prison, and the death of a young mother

[adiakiyes]

There's a big negligence on the part of police investigators. They didn't process the house well and the car shameful.

[paulamcdonald]

I was surprised that I didn't hear where Maya's house was searched for forensic evidence, such as blood, with luminol, at the very least. It really did seem as if the local PD dropped the ball big time in this investigation. Maya's family was blessed to have so many caring friends take up the obvious slack.

[Multichick]

Thank you 48 Hours, for bringing more attention to this tragedy. ❤ The local community here in San Diego is very concerned for Maya and her family. If we cannot find Maya’s body, I hope we at least find justice for Maya. This type of abuse must be stopped.

This case is close to me because Larry is my cousin. I've only met him and Maya personally once as I'm not close with that side of the family. I only found out about this case this week after my mother stumbled upon this video by chance.

From what I remember of Maya, she was very sweet. I don't remember the particular conversation we had but just from what I saw from her posts on Facebook over the years, I could see that she truly loved her kids more than anything. I feel so much for her and the little ones. They deserved so much better.
