California Fire Captain’s Wife Arrested in Mexico for His Murder

In a tragic turn of events, Rebecca Marodi, the wife of slain California Fire Captain Robert Marodi, has been arrested in Mexico in connection with his murder. The arrest comes after weeks of investigation into the fire captain's death, which occurred on March 10, 2025, in their home in Riverside County, California.
