MANGIONE JUDGE: GUN IS ADMISSIBLE | Crime Alert Saturday Recap 05.23.26

As Luigi Mangione waits for a September 8, state trial date, he celebrated his birthday behind bars. Donors continue to pad his defense fund which now tops $1.5 million dollars.  Mangione is accused of fatally shooting UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024, and is preparing for back-to-back trials in New York.  His federal trial begins October 13. A New York judge recently issued a split ruling regarding what evidence prosecutors can use at his trial.  The judge ruled that the initial warrantless search of Mangione’s backpack at a Pennsylvania McDonald's was improper, suppressing items like a gun magazine, cell phone, passport, and wallet from the state trial.  However, the judge determined that a subsequent search of the bag at the police station was a valid inventory search. This allows prosecutors to present a 3D-printed pistol and a notebook containing statements about targeting health insurance executives. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all state and federal charges. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.

Missing mom Maya Millete VANISHES planning daughter's birthday party. Now, her 40-year-old husband, Larry, has been arrested and charged with her murder, but her body is still missing.

The 39-year-old mom of three has been missing since January 2021. Larry Millete tells police they had an argument on January 7, 2021. That's the last time Maya was seen.

Reports say the husband allegedly devised a murder-for-hire plot targeting his wife’s suspected boyfriend. A source tells Fox News that they frequently heard Larry Millete discuss paying $20,000 to kill Maya Millete's Alleged beau.  

Reports indicate that Maya Millete had scheduled an appointment with a divorce attorney the same day she disappeared. She tells family members, "If anything happened to me, it would be Larry.”

Prosecutors believe her.  Husband Larry Millete charged with murder, now on trial at the South County courthouse in Chula Vista.
