Oh, so sad.
Rebecca Marodi looked so proud and happy in the picture shown in the first post of this thread.
I'm sure she worked hard to achieve her position as Fire Captain. Now she is gone.
Hoping justice will be served. SMH.

Excellent news!

"U.S. authorities requested help locating Yolanda, according to the SSCBC, which said that she was arrested near a hotel on Fresnillo Avenue in Mexicali. Officials said that, once they confirmed her identity, she was taken into custody and transferred to the border, "allowing U.S. authorities to proceed with legal action."

Interesting. She was pretty much kicked out of Mexico. No lengthy extradition process.

I am going to guess that authorities in Mexico were not too sympathetic to a two time killer.

Indeed.
Looking a bit rough around the edges, Yolanda ?

Guess not just one but two murders, weigh heavy on the mind ....
Imo.

Remember what this awful woman said to Becky, when Becky pleaded for her life, that she didn't want to die ?

"Yolanda responded 'You should have thought about that before.'

Well Yolanda, you're going to prison for life now. Shoulda thought of that before !

May Becky rest in peace now.

I hope she gets life! She only served two years for killing her ex husband. Or husband.

I feel badly for the victim here, but once you break up with someone, cut it off. It is a good lesson to learn. I literally had an ex served with papers, so he knew that it was done. No more coming back. Do not contact me ever again.

Domestic violence is scary. And I shudder to think that the victim had suffered partner abuse in silence.

Kudos to whoever recognized her. I wouldn't be able to, she doesn't look anything like her social media pictures.

I think someone close to her turned her in.
