When Rebecca Marodi, a captain with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, told her wife that she did not want to die, Yolanda Marodi responded, “You should have thought about that before,” according to an affidavit in support of an arrest warrant filed in San Diego County Superior Court last week. 

The video showed Yolanda Marodi, 53, chasing Rebecca Marodi, 49, and holding a knife, with blood visible on her arms, according to the affidavit.

Yolanda Marodi previously pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the fatal stabbing of an estranged partner in 2003, prison officials have said. She was released from custody a decade later.
