Wife Stabbed, Killer Fled to Mexico | Los Angeles News

In a shocking home invasion captured on doorbell footage, Yolanda Marodi pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for stabbing her wife, Cal Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi, 23 times — who was heard pleading “I don’t want to die” before the attack. The chilling video shows Rebecca fleeing as Yolanda brandishes a knife, and blood visible on her back. Yolanda, with a prior manslaughter conviction from killing her first husband in 2000, fled to Mexico after the attack, where she was arrested months later. Rebecca, a 30-year Cal Fire veteran, was found dead by her mother. Yolanda now faces 36 years to life — sentencing set for September 2nd.
