CHULA VISTA, Calif. — Police shared an update Thursday on their efforts to locate missing mom of three Maya Millete.
This week marks eight months since Maya, also known as May, disappeared from her family’s home in the 2400 block of Paseo Los Gatos. Volunteer searchers continued to scour areas of the county Wednesday for any sign of the missing mom, and police say they remain as dedicated to finding her as they were on the day the case was opened.
Chula Vista Police share updates on the case every two weeks. Since their last update on Aug. 25, officers have conducted two new interviews, written three more search warrants and reviewed at least five new tips about Maya’s possible whereabouts, CVPD says.
