30多年来,丽贝卡·“贝基”·马罗迪(Rebecca “Becky” Marodi)的职业就是冲向火场。在她遇害的那个夜晚,一台监控摄像头拍下了她跑过自家露台、哀求妻子饶命的画面。1 6 14 手持刀具的这名女子此前曾杀害过一任配偶,为此服刑,获得假释——随后再次结婚。6 10
2026年9月2日,在圣迭戈县的一间法庭里,约兰达·奥列尼恰克·马罗迪(Yolanda Olejniczak Marodi)终究没能逃脱这段过往。2 3 法官塞莱娜·埃普利(Selena Epley)以二级谋杀罪判处这名54岁女子在州立监狱服刑36年至终身,被害人是49岁的加州消防局(Cal Fire)队长贝基·马罗迪。2 6 7 这一判决为2026年8月4日达成的认罪协议画上句号。该认罪发生在审判原定开始前约一个月,马罗迪承认了杀人行为,承认使用了刀具,承认有一项此前的“strike”(重罪记分)定罪,并放弃对刑期提出上诉。10 11 13
关键事实
一名在家中遇害的消防队长
贝基·马罗迪是里弗赛德县弗伦奇谷(French Valley)消防站的队长,在加州消防局工作了三十多年。6 7 2025年2月17日夜间,她在这对夫妻位于圣迭戈县偏远地区拉蒙纳(Ramona)兰乔维拉路(Rancho Villa Road)的家中遇害。2 3 她的颈部、胸部和腹部被刺23刀。3 9 住在同一处房产内的母亲洛蕾娜·马罗迪当晚发现了她,并拨打了911。1 贝基当场死亡。1 3 两人结婚约两年,据描述,这段关系已接近尾声。1
两起命案,一段过往
控方最有力的证人是一台摄像头。2月17日晚8时左右,家中的Ring摄像头拍到贝基被追赶着跑过露台,尖叫道:“约兰达!求求你……我不想死!”14 1 描述该视频的宣誓书称,约兰达回答:“你早该想到这一点。”14 据描述,马罗迪手持刀具,手臂上有血,而贝基背部有血。1 14 同一摄像头随后拍到马罗迪把宠物和行李装进她的雪佛兰Equinox汽车。1
随之而来的是逃亡,而非急救。当晚,马罗迪越境进入墨西哥,国土安全部记录的越境时间为晚上9时15分后不久。5 12 约五周后,她于2025年3月22日在墨西卡利被捕,并被移交给美国法警局。5 10 检方后来直白地为此案定名:杀害消防队长并逃往墨西哥的拉蒙纳妻子。5 8
正是这段过往,让这起家庭谋杀案变成了一份控诉。2000年10月,约兰达·马罗迪在圣贝纳迪诺县刺死了当时已分居的丈夫詹姆斯·奥列尼恰克。10 18 她于2003年认罪承认故意杀人罪,服刑约十年后于2013年获假释出狱。6 10 在2025年的案件中,该定罪被视为一项重罪记分,这也是为何二级谋杀认罪仍可锁定终身刑期而非有期刑期。10 11 作案手法如出一辙——用刀,在家中,针对配偶——相隔25年。10 18
这是一起残忍的谋杀,受害者是一位备受尊敬、尽职尽责的消防队长,她将整个职业生涯都奉献给了服务社区。
9月2日的法庭上,悲痛诉说了法律无法表达的东西。洛蕾娜·马罗迪(Lorena Marodi)对法庭表示,失去唯一的孩子所带来的悲痛“波及她生活的每一个方面”,称能成为贝基的母亲是“一生的荣幸”,说她一直“坚强地等待正义”,并请求让马罗迪“在余生中一直身陷囹圄”。2 16 埃普利法官称贝基是“我们社区的英雄”。3 4 地区检察官萨默·斯蒂芬(Summer Stephan)补充说,此案表明“没有人能免受家庭暴力的侵害”。5 8
这个数字需要解释。在加州,“36年至终身”是一种不定期终身刑期,而不是释放日期。2 9 36年是马罗迪有资格被考虑假释之前的最低服刑年限,而且假释听证委员会仍须认定她适合假释。2 9 届时她将约90岁。1 她可能至死都未获释放。2 9

播出原貌 12 行
- A Cal Fire captain was stabbed 23 times — her wife now gets 36 years to life.
- Thirty years of firefighting service ended on a Ramona driveway in February 2025. The woman responsible had already served prison time for killing another spouse.
- The question this case leaves: how a woman paroled in 2013 for stabbing her husband to death got a second chance she used the same way.
- Rebecca “Becky” Marodi, 49, was a Cal Fire captain at the French Valley station in Riverside County. On the night of February 17th, 2025, at the couple’s home on Rancho Villa Road, she was stabbed 23 times in the neck, chest, and abdomen. Her mother, Lorena, who lived on the same property, found her and called 911. Becky died at the scene.
- The home’s security camera recorded the attack. Around eight p.m., it captured Becky being chased across the patio, screaming that she didn’t want to die. The woman who later faced 36 years to life answered, “You should have thought of that before,” and was described as holding a knife with blood on her arms. The recording also shows the killer loading pets and luggage into a Chevy Equinox afterward.
- That same night she crossed into Mexico — the Department of Homeland Security logged the crossing shortly after 9:15 p.m. She was arrested in Mexicali more than five weeks later, on March 22nd, 2025, and turned over to U.S. Marshals.
- The record runs in two chapters. In October 2000, she stabbed her estranged husband to death. She pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in 2003 and was paroled in 2013 — roughly ten years served. That prior conviction was treated as a strike in this case, and it’s why the plea locked in a life term. In August of this year, a month before trial was set to begin, she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, admitted using a knife, and waived her right to appeal the term. Thirty-four days later, the judge imposed the sentence.
- The method was the same — a knife, in a domestic setting, on a spouse. Two spouses, twenty-five years apart, and the second time the woman had already been through the system once.
- Now the number itself. In California, “36 years to life” is an indeterminate life sentence — the 36 years is the minimum before she can even be considered for parole. It is not automatic release. The Board of Parole Hearings would decide later whether she is suitable, and she would be about 90 years old by then. She could die in prison without ever being released.
- In court, the victim’s mother spoke. Lorena Marodi said the grief of losing her only child “ripples into every part of her life,” called it the privilege of a lifetime to have been Becky’s parent, and asked that the woman who killed her daughter be kept behind bars for the rest of her life.
- The district attorney added that no one is immune to domestic violence. Judge Selena Epley called Becky a hero in her community.
- So what does accountability mean here? The sentence is real — at least 36 years. But the question the family lives with is why the system that convicted her once, imprisoned her, and paroled her in 2013 could not stop a second killing. What the record now shows is 23 stab wounds, a guilty plea, and a term that could be life. What it does not show is how a woman who had already killed one spouse found her way back into a marriage — and into a position to do it again.
