Sister of Maya Millete granted custody of missing woman's 3 children

After a week of court argument and testimony in a guardianship trial, a San Diego probate judge has granted custody of Maya Millete’s three children to her sister, Maricris Drouaillet.

Maya Millete went missing from her Chula Vista home in January 2021. Her body has not been found and her husband, Larry Millete, is in custody facing murder charges.

Maya’s children, now ages 14, 13, and 7, had remained at the family’s Chula Vista home with their paternal grandparents as a nearly three-year guardianship battle continued in court. The grandparents failed to make mortgage payment on the house, which is expected to be sold by the end of the year, according to court testimony.

YES! YES! I am so pissed off with the grandparents saying that Maya left on her own when they know Larry hurt her.

It should not take 3 yrs to get kids away from killer's family. Our legal system needs to change

[gregoryagogo]

Good decision. The Dad is in Jail and a possible murder of their mother... It's not good that the kids live with the dad's parents.

BRAAAVVVO! 🎉 👏 I truly hope the children can adjust comfortably as they transition away from the brainwashing they likely received from their grandparents. 😢

Good! His parents helped withhold information about her killing... Jerks!

This move will be better for the kids long term. I’m sad that it took so long.

Mary Kris is such an amazing sister. So glad the judge made the correct decision

[chacha]

God bless the sister Mary and her husband. They have been through so much in the search for her sister and now they have the job of raising Maya's three children who are going to need a Lot of love and individual support.

Imagine how much those grandparents have already poisoned the minds of those kids.

[TaylorTiree]

This was absolutely the right choice. Goodness knows what the paternal grandparents have been telling those children.🇬🇧

[fremontpathfinder]

The kids should have been immediately transferred to the aunt. They have until Sunday but someone should be watching the grandparent's home

[kimberleymonari]

GOOD. HIS Parents have probably been a BAD INFluENCE on the Children.

[eric]

Yeah why would you give the murderers parents custody ? wtf

[Catsss]

The children know something and grandparents been brainwashing them.

[Miss-Katherine]

Finally some good news in this very upsetting case.

[vsanchez]

Thank God! They should never have been with parents who raised a murderer.

[mfy]

What a Victory. God thank you for her sister never giving up.

[mariemay]

This is the most incredible news! They should have been living with her this whole time. His parents should not have been able to keep them this whole time.
