The detectives had sent a flurry of subpoenas into the private and professional lives of Jay and Marjorie Orbin. In late November, one of the most important ones came back.

Although she told varying stories to customers, possibly with the intent of avoiding harm to sales, Marjorie repeatedly told police that Jay was back on the road from September 9 through 17, when she last spoke to him. Sometimes it got hazy about where he was on September 8, but she had settled into the story that he may have come back into Phoenix on September 8, but she had never actually seen him. This was due to her and Noah having strep throat. She had warned Jay in the morning on the phone that it would be best for him if he didn’t come near their germs. So as far as she knew, he had stayed at the warehouse that night, then he was back on the road on the 9th to recoup the sales in Florida lost due to Hurricane Frances. She did not know for sure because she had certainly never laid eyes on him on the 8th.

Detectives had tracked Jay’s Citibank credit card and knew that he’d used it in Tucson on September 7 and 8, and for gas purchases in Phoenix on the 8th. They even had surveillance video of the white truck getting gas with this card late that Wednesday afternoon (4:35) in the neighborhood of the 55th Street house. But the next day Marjorie had started using it, beginning with the purchase of several hundreds of dollars’ worth of cleaning supplies. When confronted with this, Marjorie insisted she could not explain why the credit card was with Jay at the end of Wednesday near their house yet she was using it less than twenty-four hours later, if she had not seen him in Phoenix that day—or seen some third party who may have been with Jay on the 8th and then transferred the card to her.

They tried again to get her to say that Larry Weisberg had given the card to her, but Marjorie continued to defend Weisberg vigorously, though she started to leave open a little doubt that it was possible he might have gotten into her purse and, as the detectives proposed, “planted” it on her.

When some of the subpoenaed paperwork came back in late November, however, it cooled the detectives on the pursuit of Marjorie’s bodybuilding lover. This stack of paper built quite a scaffold around Marjorie herself.

Jay’s cell phone had never been found, although other items he’d had with him on that trip certainly had: his checkbook, his briefcase, even his contact lens solution. In late September, Marjorie had bought a new phone to replace the missing unit but kept Jay’s number.

Subpoenaed phone records showed that Jay’s original cell phone, like his credit card, had gone on his last known sales run. The phone was in San Antonio, Texas, on August 29, the day after Noah’s birthday party at the bowling alley.
