The video chronicles the mysterious disappearance and eventual murder of Jay Orbin, a successful businessman from Phoenix, Arizona. Jay, who lived with his wife Marjorie and their son Noah, went missing after returning from a business trip on his 45th birthday, September 8, 2004. Despite initially appearing concerned, Marjorie's behavior soon aroused suspicion when she avoided the police, drained Jay's business account, and moved her lover, Larry Weisberg, into their home.
The investigation took a grim turn when Jay's frozen and dismembered body was discovered in the Phoenix desert. Marjorie was quickly implicated, with evidence including purchases of cleaning supplies, the repainting of the garage floor, and testimony from her cellmate who claimed Marjorie admitted to the crime. Despite Marjorie later accusing Larry of the murder and coercing her into covering it up, her assertions were dismissed due to Larry's solid alibi.
Ultimately, Marjorie was convicted of first-degree murder, theft, and fraud, receiving a life sentence plus additional concurrent sentences for the other charges. The case highlights themes of betrayal, greed, and the pursuit of justice, concluding with Marjorie serving her sentence in the Arizona State Prison Complex, while Jay's brother received custody of Noah.

In this part of the video, it is detailed that on September 8, 2004, Jay Orbin celebrated his 45th birthday and anniversary. He was a successful businessman living in Phoenix, Arizona, with his wife Marjorie Orbin and their 8-year-old son, Noah. Jay frequently traveled due to his business in artwork and jewelry. However, their life took a dark turn when Jay went missing. The video recounts how Jay and Marjorie initially met and developed their relationship. Marjorie was working as a dancer in Las Vegas when Jay fell for her and started booking private dances, eventually leading to a relationship despite her reluctance to give up her career aspirations. Marjorie later moved to Florida and was briefly involved with a millionaire named Michael Peter, but after several failed relationships and marriages, she returned to Las Vegas in 1993. Jay, still in love with her, found her again, and they reconnected over drinks, rekindling their relationship.

In this part of the video, Jay and Margerie’s relationship and subsequent family life are detailed. They kept in touch constantly while managing long-distance challenges and eventually got married in Las Vegas. Marjorie left her past behind to focus on their family life in Phoenix. Despite initial fertility issues, Marjorie underwent expensive treatments financed by Jay and successfully gave birth to their son, Noah. Their life seemed idyllic until Jay went missing after returning from a business trip that was cut short by a hurricane. Jay’s mother, Joan, grew concerned when she couldn’t contact him and despite Marjorie’s reassurances, she sensed something was wrong. After failed attempts to reach Jay, the family decided to involve law enforcement. On pressing for answers, Marjorie finally admitted that Jay was missing.

In this segment of the video, Marjorie reports her ex-husband Jay missing after he returned to Phoenix from a trip and disappeared again without celebrating their anniversary. Despite filing a report, she did not provide crucial information to the police promptly and avoided further contact. Investigators discovered the couple had divorced in 1998 but continued living together. Marjorie had multiple affairs, including one with Larry Weisberg, who moved into their home. Marjorie appeared indifferent to Jay’s disappearance, spent $100,000 from his business account, and showed no interest in the investigation. This raised suspicion among Jay’s relatives and the police, leading to a search warrant for the Orban home, where Jay’s personal items were found, indicating he hadn’t planned to leave permanently. Police suspected foul play, particularly implicating Marjorie in Jay’s potential murder.

In this part of the video, a homeless man discovers a container wrapped in black plastic in the Phoenix desert, containing a severely decomposed body along with a wad of money and a used bullet. The medical examiner determines that the body had been frozen and dismembered post-mortem, making identification difficult without DNA analysis. The remains are identified as Jay Orbin, whose disappearance case is reclassified as a murder. Investigators suspect his wife, Marjorie, who was spending Jay’s money and received $1 million from his insurance policy after his death. A close friend of Marjorie reports that she had previously threatened Jay over financial issues. Marjorie is arrested on December 6, 2004, and charged with first-degree murder, theft, and fraud. According to investigators, Marjorie killed Jay on September 8, 2004, to benefit from his inheritance and life insurance payout, as she wanted to maintain her lavish lifestyle and was involved in a new romance.

In this part of the video, the focus is on the investigation and trial of Margerie, who is accused of murdering her husband, Jay. The prosecution presented evidence, including receipts and CCTV footage, showing that Margerie bought cleaning supplies and containers after Jay’s disappearance and was seen purchasing these items. She allegedly froze, thawed, and dismembered Jay’s body, later hiding the remains in containers.
Detectives found she repainted her garage floor to cover blood traces and used Jay’s credit cards for her purchases. After Jay’s disappearance, Margerie spent his money freely and moved her lover, Larry Weisberg, into their home. At the trial, her cellmate testified that Margerie confessed to the murder, stating that Jay disgusted her.
Larry was questioned but claimed ignorance of the crime and was not involved. Despite findings like electric jigsaw blades at his workplace and a remote control to the garage at his house, Larry had a solid alibi and was excluded as a suspect. The defense suggested Larry could have committed the crime to eliminate Jay, but the prosecutor refuted this due to Larry’s alibi. Margerie continued to deny guilt and did not testify again.

In this part of the video, the narrator explains that Margerie was found guilty on all counts of first-degree murder, theft, and fraud. She was sentenced to life in prison for murder and received concurrent five-year sentences for theft and fraud. Post-trial, Margerie gave an interview expressing regret for not testifying, claiming her lover Larry killed Jay and coerced her into covering it up.

Despite her assertions, no one believed her, and all her appeals were rejected. She is currently serving her sentence at the Arizona State Prison Complex, and custody of her and Jay’s son has been given to Jay’s brother.
