As the investigation continues, CAL FIRE San Diego has initiated efforts to provide financial support to the Marodi family through the CAL FIRE Benevolent Fund.

San Diego County Sheriff’s investigators believe they know who killed 49-year old Cal Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi. They just have to find that person. San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies said they were called around 9 p.

Marodi was the primary caregiver of her 77-year-old mother, who lived with her in Ramona. Her sudden passing left her family facing immense grief and uncertainty, the Cal Fire San Diego Benevolent Fund stated.

San Diego County investigators say that Cal Fire Captain Rebecca Marodi told her wife that she was ending their marriage just days before she was found stabbed to death inside of her home in Ramona.

Authorities asked for help Monday to find an ex-con suspected of killing her wife, a veteran state firefighter, at the victim’s Ramona home — more than 20 years after pleading guilty in the slaying of her estranged husband.

An off-duty Cal Fire captain was found fatally stabbed inside her Ramona home Monday evening, and sheriff’s detectives are investigating the homicide as a possible domestic violence case, officials said.

Officials believe she may have fled to Mexico driving a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox with California license plate "8BQJ420."
