Yolanda Marodi is accused of first-degree murder charges in the killing of her wife, Cal Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi. Yolanda Marodi, 53, was arrested in Mexicali on March 22 after being on the run for nearly five weeks. Yolanda is accused of stabbing Rebecca to death at their Ramona home on the night of February 17 2025. Rebecca had reportedly told Yolanda she was leaving her and ending their marriage. A week after Rebecca reportedly told Yolanda about the divorce, surveillance video at their home caught Yolanda allegedly chasing Rebecca across the front yard where an altercation took place. In the surveillance video, a voice believed to be Rebecca's is heard saying 'Yolanda! Please ... I don't want to die!'. Rebecca then appears in the video with what looks like blood on her back. In 2003, Marodi pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter after stabbing her ex-husband to death. Her ex-husband had reportedly told Marodi that he was ending their marriage.
