The woman accused of killing her wife, a CalFire captain, has been arrested in Mexico more than a month after the slaying, according to multiple reports.
Authorities had been searching since late Feb. 17 for Yolanda Marodi, 53, named as the suspect in the stabbing death of Capt. Rebecca Marodi, 49.
The veteran firefighter was found dead at the couple’s home on Rancho Villa Road in Ramona, suffering from multiple stab wounds to her neck, chest and abdomen, according to court documents.

— ABC 10News San Diego (@10News) March 23, 2025According to Telemundo, Baja California’s Citizen Security Secretariat said in a news release that Yolonda Marodi had been taken into custody near a Mexicali hotel on Avenida Fresnillo.
Local law enforcement, the release said, were in contact with San Diego County investigators to coordinate her return to the U.S. for prosecution.
Within days of Rebecca Marodi’s death, San Diego County Sheriff’s officials had released a number of details as they sought the suspect, from the car she was believed to be driving, a compact SUV, to their belief that she may have crossed the border.
Legal documents also described footage of the attack on the victim, captured by Ring video.
Footage from outside the home showed Rebecca Marodi fleeing the residence, with her wife close on her heels. The suspect, authorities wrote, appeared to be holding a knife in her hand and had blood on her arms.
The couple returned inside, but some minutes later, Yolanda Marodi was seen placing items in a Chevrolet Equinox and leaving the residence.
Yolanda Marodi, who also uses the surname Olejniczak, already had served a prison stint, for voluntary manslaughter.
The woman pleaded guilty to the charge in San Bernardino County, after James Olejniczak, her former husband, was killed, also with a knife. Family court documents filed in North County indicate that James Olejniczak and Yolanda Olejniczak filed for divorce five months before his May 2000 death.
