The video footage was not played in court, but sheriff’s Homicide Det. Jessica Ricca testified that in her review of the video, the victim can be heard calling out for her mother, to which Yolanda Marodi responds, “She’s not here.”
The two go out of frame for some time, and when they appear again, Rebecca Marodi appeared to be “covered in blood,” Ricca testified.
At one point, the bloodied victim was “yelling out, `Yolanda! Please … I don’t want to die,”‘ the warrant declaration states. Yolanda Marodi, who appeared to be holding a knife and seemingly had blood on her arms, responded, “You should have thought about that before,” according to the document.
The victim repeatedly asked her wife to call 911 before the pair re- entered the home, the declaration states.
About 10 minutes later, the camera recorded video of Yolanda Marodi loading items into a Chevrolet Equinox and then driving off, the declaration states.
