48 Hours
Diary of a Showgirl
TV-14
S23 • E8 Nov 20, 2009 60mIt was the start of a murder mystery that had it all: sex, lies, greed, a savage crime and a beautiful showgirl.
That showgirl, Marjorie Orbin, is now in Phoenix, Arizona's Estrella Jail, charged with the brutal murder of her husband, Jay Orbin.
"On Oct. 23, 2004, a man - a transient living in the desert - came across a container wrapped in heavy black plastic. He decides to open the container. He sees the torso of a body," Det. Dave Barnes of the Phoenix Police Department explained. "All of the insides, all of the internal organs, intestines were missing… I thought, 'Who could do this to human being? Cut off his arms, his legs, his head?'"
Prison stripes are a far cry from the diamonds and furs Marjorie was accustomed to.
In a "48 Hours" exclusive - six months of Marjorie's video diaries from jail and unprecedented access to a woman facing the possibility of death row.
