About this episode

This episode discusses the verdict in the Larry Millete murder trial and the surrounding evidence and questions.

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?
