A Californian woman who was suspected of killing her fire brigade captain's woman, sent a friend a hair -raising text message just one day after the heroic firefighter was stabbed in her house.
Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Yolanda Marodi, 53, who accuse her of the fatal stabbing of her wife, fire brigade captain Rebecca Marodi, 49, in the house of Ramona that she shared on 17 February.
The fire brigade captain was found in the house that suffered from several stab wounds in her neck, chest and belly and was declared dead on the spot while her wife was nowhere to be found.
But a day later Yolanda – who also her first name, Yolanda Olejniczak – a friend texted who had asked what had happened.
“Becky came home and told me she left me, she met someone else, all the messages were lies,” she replied, according to the order obtained by ABC 10News.
“We had a big fight and I hurt her … I'm sorry.”
It is now assumed that Yolanda repeatedly stuck her wife for hours in the middle of a quarrel before her body was found and then fled to Mexico.
Surveillance images of the house had shown Yolanda that apparently Rebecca haunts the patio shortly after 8 p.m.

The police say she stabbed her wife, fire brigade captain Rebecca Marodi, 49, in the house of Ramona that she shared on 17 February, on 17 February
A voice that is supposed to be that of Rebecca, can be heard screaming, 'Yolanda! Please … I don't want to die! 'Before she appears to be in the frame with some blood that runs past her back, the arrest warrant states.
At that time, another voice – who believed like that of Yolanda – could be heard: “You should have thought about it earlier,” while she was standing about her wife with a knife with apparent blood on her arm.
Rebecca repeatedly told her wife that she had to call 911, while Yolanda told her to go back, an order Rebecca eventually obeyed when the two entered the house. It was the last time Rebecca was seen in the images.
About 10 minutes later, 'Yolanda sees pets, random items and some luggage collecting and loading in a silver Chevrolet Equinox SUV,' says the order. She was also seen that different clothes wore during what seemed to be a hurried eSidation.
That vehicle was caught hours later on Mexico, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“The residence of Olejniczak are currently unknown,” the San Diego County Sheriff's Office has warned, according to KTVU.
“From an abundance of caution, the office of the Sheriff authorities on both sides of the border warned over this suspect.”
It is now also insisting on keeping the audience looking for a Chevrolet Equinox from 2013 with the California Licent board number 8bqj420 and for Yolanda, which they have described as five-foot-inch long, with a weight of about 165 pounds with brown hair, brown eyes and tatos on both upper arms.

But this is not the first time that the police had to launch a manhunt for Yolanda.
Almost 25 years ago she stabbed her husband James J. Olejniczak Jr., 26, fatally while the two divorce.
Judicial documents obtained by CBS 8 showed that the couple had agreed to 'mutual limiting orders' and agreed with the joint custody of their two children, who were nine and four years old at the time.
“My son was a good man. He was, everyone wants to say that about their children, but my oldest boy was my good boy, 'James' mother, Nancy Hayworth, recently told KGTV.
She said she saw creepy similarities between the murder of her son and the death of Marodi.
In the October 2000 case, Yolanda also tried to flee with her children, but changed himself to the police about 24 hours later.
By 2003 she pleaded guilty of voluntary manslaughter.
Yolanda was sentenced to 11 years in prison the following year, according to the court reports, but was only in custody from February of that year to November 2013.
“She scares me,” said Hayworth about her one -time daughter -in -law and noticed that she only met Yolanda once.
Then she described the alleged murderer as “sometimes a little immature, and she would just not be happy, I think, unless all the attention was to her.”

Likewise, Rebecca's ex-wife, the 58-year-old Lilia Phleger Phillips, told DailyMail.com that she was worried about Yolanda.
“What I heard that her wife was a fleeting person,” said Lilia, who was married to Rebecca for seven years before they were separated in 2015. “She had time for voluntary manslaughter. The crime happened in 2000. That is public knowledge. '
Rebecca and Yolanda seem to have been together since at least 2022, when Yolanda shared an Instagram photo that announced their involvement.
“No words can express the joy and in -depth happiness and gratitude that I experience every day I can call her my wife by her side,” she said at the time.
'I am so blessed that this great woman loves me unconditionally. I love you @Beck_Marodi, you complete my life. '
Rebecca, depicted with Yolanda, is now remembered as a hero
She was one of the thousands of firefighters who fought with the deadly Eaton fire in January
Rebecca is now remembered as a hero, which was laid to rest in a coffin draped with the American flag.
The decorated chef served with Cal Fire for more than 30 years and was one of the thousands of firefighters who fought against the deadly Eaton fire in January.
She could even be seen in reports on social media about crews that fought against the fire and shared videos of herself that the flames looked.
At least 17 people were killed in the 14,000-hectare Eaton fire that lit on January 7. The fire destroyed 9,418 structures and damaged 1,073 more, according to NBC Los Angeles.
But Rebecca was planning to retire at the end of the year, according to KABC.
“Her death is a deep loss for her family, friends and all who had the privilege of working next to her,” said Cal Fire.
'After her operational assignments, Captain Marodi was deeply involved in Peer support and Hazmat, always giving priority to the well-being of her colleagues.
“Her legacy of mentoring, service and dedication will be felt for years.”
Cal Fire Battalion Chief Paul Selegue also said that the local newsstation Rebecca was someone who could strive to be.
“She was never afraid to get involved with a person who needed help and she was always willing to expand herself to help them,” he said.
