From Missing Persons To Homicide

The case would take a dramatic turn when it turned from missing person to homicide. But there was only one person they believed could be responsible for his death, Marjorie Ann Orbin. And investigators would stop at nothing to prove it. When they got their hands on a bit of surveillance video, it showed her buying the exact kind of containers that Jay’s torso was found inside, just two days before he went missing. This would give them no doubt in their heads that they had the right person in mind.

Arresting Marjorie

When the police first made their arrest, it would be on the basis of credit card fraud since she used his cards and signed his name. But eventually, they would gather enough evidence to arrest her for Jay’s murder, and that’s exactly what they did. Not only did they have footage of her at the store, but police found the receipt from her purchase, and they knew that she had cleaned up her garage with cleaning supplies, leaving no traces of usable evidence of his death, which they believed happened in the garage of their house as their son slept soundly inside.
