July 31, 1979. Albuquerque, New Mexico. 49-year old Lola Marvin plans to board a flight to Oklahoma City, but she never arrives. Four days later, Lola is found shot to death inside her car in the parking lot of Albuquerque International Airport. In September 1984, Lola’s 55-year old husband, Robert Marvin, disappears after visiting his new fiancée in Moab, Utah and his abandoned car is eventually discovered in an Albuquerque parking lot. Investigators explore the possibility that the two cases are connected, but even though an anonymous caller shares the identity of Lola’s alleged killer, her murder is never solved and Robert is never found. On this week’s episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the bizarre story of a married couple who each became the center of their own separate unsolved mysteries five years apart.

If you have information about the murder of Lola Marvin, please contact the Albuquerque Police Department at (505) 242-2677. If you have information about the disappearance of Robert Marvin, please contact the Moab Police Department at (435) 259-8938.
