Newly revealed details from an arrest warrant describe the final moments of a California fire captain found fatally stabbed in her California home last week. Authorities allege her wife carried out the killing before fleeing across the border to Mexico. Cal Fire Capt. Rebecca “Becky” Marodi, 49, was discovered with multiple stab wounds in her home in Ramona on February 17, according to an arrest warrant filed in San Diego County Superior Court Friday. Marodi’s mother called 911 around 9 p.m., according to the warrant. Deputies arrived within minutes, but Marodi was pronounced dead at the scene about 15 minutes later. According to the arrest warrant, surveillance footage from the couple’s home captured part of the attack. At 8:08 p.m., the warrant says, Marodi is seen running across the patio, pursued by her wife, Yolanda Marodi, also known as Yolanda Olejniczak. “Yolanda! Please… I don’t want to die,” Rebecca Marodi was heard pleading, investigators said. Olejniczak is said to have responded, “You should have thought about that before.” The surveillance footage shows Olejniczak holding a knife, apparent blood visible on her arms, ordering Marodi back inside the home, the warrant says. Marodi is heard repeatedly asking Olejniczak to call 911 before the two move out of frame. It was the last time Marodi was seen alive on camera, the warrant says.
