A manhunt is on for Yolanda Marodi, the wife of a California fire captain who was stabbed to death earlier this week in her San Diego-area home.

Investigators are seeking 53-year-old Yolanda Marodi, also known as Yolanda Olejniczak, in connection with the killing of Cal Fire Capt. Rebecca Marodi, 49.

Marodi, 49, a captain with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), was found at her Ramona residence with multiple stab wounds on the night of Feb. 17, after deputies responded to a call for an assault with a deadly weapon, according to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office.

Rebecca's wife, Yolanda Marodi—also known as Yolanda Olejniczak— was also a veteran firefighter with Cal Fire, having served more than 30 years in the department. Despite her being widely respected by colleagues, Yolanda has been named the primary suspect, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday identified the person they believe to be responsible for stabbing a Cal Fire captain to death in her Ramona home earlier this week.

Deputies found Rebecca Marodi with multiple stab wounds, and despite life-saving measures, officials said she was pronounced dead on the scene.

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office says they have identified Yolanda Marodi, also known as Yolanda Olenjniczak, as a suspect. Olenjniczak is described as a 53-year-old woman with brown hair, 5'2" and about 166 lbs.

Days after a Southern California fire captain was found stabbed to death inside her home, authorities announced her wife — who was previously convicted of voluntary manslaughter — is wanted in connection with her death.

Rebecca Marodi was found in her San Diego-area home Monday. A woman has been identified as a suspect in her slaying, but her whereabouts are unknown.
