Sheriff’s deputy Angela Peratis, one of the first responders at the scene, stated that she and her partner found the victim lying face down in a hallway.
The deputies initiated life-saving efforts until firefighters took over. At that moment, Peratis recounted hearing one of the firefighters ask, “Is that Becky?”
The warrant declaration mentions that Ring camera footage recorded Rebecca Marodi fleeing their home while her wife pursued her.
Although the video was not shown in court, sheriff’s Homicide Det. Jessica Ricca testified that her review revealed the victim could be heard calling out for her mother, to which Yolanda Marodi replied, “She’s not here.”
The two then went out of frame for a period, and when they reappeared, Rebecca Marodi seemed to be “covered in blood,” Ricca testified.
