A suspect in the homicide of a Cal Fire captain in Ramona was identified Thursday by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.
Investigators are seeking 53-year-old Yolanda Marodi, also known as Yolanda Olenjniczak, in connection with the killing of Rebecca Marodi, 49, the sheriff’s office said in a release.
On Monday, deputies responded to a home on Rancho Villa Road regarding a reported assault with a deadly weapon and found Rebecca Marodi suffering from multiple stab wounds.
Marodi was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Wednesday, the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the death to be a homicide.
The suspect’s location is currently unknown, the sheriff’s office said Thursday.
Yolanda Marodi, whose relationship with Rebecca Marodi was not released, was described as being 5-feet 2-inches tall, weighing 166 pounds with brown hair.
“The motivation and circumstances surrounding this homicide remain under investigation as detectives work diligently to gather more information and establish a comprehensive understanding of the case,” the sheriff’s office said.
Sheriff’s office Lt. Michael Krugh said Tuesday that the incident was being investigated “as a potential domestic violence case.”
Rebecca Marodia was a 20-year veteran of Cal Fire assigned to a station in French Valley in Riverside County.
