Former Las Vegas showgirl Marjorie Orbin and Phoenix jeweler Jay Orbin looked like a desert power couple—until Jay vanished in September of 2004. In this episode, we trace their story from meeting and marriage to the birth of their son Noah, the mounting marital strain and alleged affairs, and the day Robert Ame found a Rubbermaid tub in the Arizona desert containing a torso. We stop at the discovery of the partial remains and unpack the timeline, key players, and early investigative questions that turned a missing-person case into a chilling Phoenix true crime mystery.

What you’ll hear in this episode

  • Vegas to Scottsdale: how Marjorie and Jay met and built a life in Arizona
  • Inside the marriage: work travel, money stress, and alleged affairs
  • The disappearance: Jay’s final routine, missed calls, and red flags
  • The discovery: a Rubbermaid storage tub in the desert and the pivot in the case
