The husband of Maya Millete, the California mother of three who has been missing since January, was taken into custody Tuesday in connection with her death, authorities said on Tuesday. District Attorney Summer Stephan said prosecutors can file a murder charge without having a body, the news outlet reported. Stephan said that before Maya Millete disappeared, her husband opposed divorcing and hired “spellcasters” to keep her from leaving, to wish incapacitating injury upon her.
