Events Of Zorro Island
Marjorie was flagged as a suspect after Axelle and the player found her purse inside the cabin, leading her to say that she was Petunia (or Pettie)'s best friend, and she asked why they spoke to her. Upon hearing that Petunia was dead, she cried, stating that her best friend had been alive the last time she had seen her, before she headed back to the retirement home.

Marjorie was spoken to again after she sent a message to the player saying 'I can't go on without talking to you'. When Bonita tracked her down, Axelle and the player asked her about it, leading her to say that Petunia's daughter Maisie had died mysteriously exactly a year prior to the murder, and she felt that the killer had something to do with it.

In the end, Marjorie was found guilty of the murder. Marjorie confessed, stating that Petunia had started suspecting that she was being watched by the government, or, more specifically, FBI agent Joseph Stone, and she started asking questions. She eventually asked about what happened to her daughter, Maisie. Not wanting Petunia to know what had actually happened, Marjorie stabbed Petunia with a pitchfork to keep her quiet. Shocked by the act of evil, Judge Delarosa sentenced Marjorie to 13 years in prison for the murder of Petunia Mayfield.

Marjorie appeared later in the additional investigation, when Judge Delarosa accompanied the player to the cabin, where they discovered Marjorie's recipe book, containing recipes of all sorts. However, Alita quickly pointed out that a recipe for almond cake had been highlighted in red, knowing by Marjorie's color coding that she was never making the recipe again. Rosa then discovered that Maisie had died from ingestion of almonds, which she was severely allergic to, along with all the other ingredients in Marjorie's almond cake. When confronted about it, Marjorie admitted that she had made Maisie almond cake for her birthday, and she hadn't been aware that Maisie was allergic to nuts. Marjorie then apologized to the player, and Judge Delarosa told the player to leave.
