SAN DIEGO After months of continuous searching for Maya Millete, family, friends and complete strangers came to Fiesta Island on Saturday to celebrate her. May 1 is Maya’s 40th birthday.
On its face, it’s a Luau on a sunny day. Hawaiian and Filipino food cooking on a barbeque and kids playing volleyball. May 1 should have been a fun day for the family of Maya Millete. A year before, Maya, her sister Mari Cris and her husband Richard Drouaillet were sipping wine in Temecula for Maya’s 39th birthday.
