Speaker 1 (00:08):
You're listening to Chilworthy.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
A podcast we're two best friends discuss mysteries, murders, and
anything in between for your enjoyment.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So if you're ready to hear some chilling and unsettling cases,
you're in the right place. Happy listening.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hi everybody, welcome back to our podcast chow Worthy with
Brent and Taliah.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Hello everyone, How you doing? Doing pretty good? How about you?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It is windy is oh yeah, hendy?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, it's a very nice like stormy aesthetic to stay inside. Yeah,
you know in sweats as we are.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Sure are gloomy the weather or not us? Yeah, one
of us.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I guess I'm a little I was going to say dapper.
That's not me. I'm a little. I'm a little not
the world. I'm a little more toned down today.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You're quiet, you're quiet, cautious. Did we tell that story?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I think yes, we certainly did. When I said, you
didn't say you were scared of me.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Said I'm not scared cautious.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So okay, So before we get like started started, I
wanted to share with the listeners because like, you know,
look I don't I certainly don't read books as much
as you do out here. So I wanted to share
that I set up a fish tank.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh yes, tell them absolutely or.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Two write, but I'm going to talk about the bigger one,
the one that's sitting in between us as we speak.
And I thought, you know, it would just be nice
to give the listeners some updates as I go along
this journey. I think that would be Maybe there are
fish people out there.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'm sure there are. I don't know why you're not
going to talk about the downstairs one. I mean it's gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, well that one is gorgeous, But I'm saying this
one is the current project, right that I'm working on.
So just so we all know, it's a twenty nine gallon,
a big oh right, sand on the bottom, all natural
plants everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
He means everywhere, he means everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
We've got some cloudy water going on, but hopefully that
will go away eventually. Right. But so, what I wanted
to do is I thought every episode I would give
some fun facts about one of the tank inhabitants that
I have thus far.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I think that would be lovely, right, and then they
can look it up see what it looks like.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Of course, absolutely right. So what I want to start with.
So this is like my version of like when you
do a book dumps dump, it's only gonna be five
fun facts.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All right, Well I have a book dump coming way today,
so that's fun.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So my five fun facts about my first resident. I'm
gonna be talking about the Zebra danio zebra jasper.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Can I say quickly, all of the fish that you've
gotten so far upstairs and downstairs? Yeah, big tank versus
little tank. Yeah, all remind me of crystals, Like there's
a crystal equivalent to everyone that you have. I see
them in crystal form. Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So the zebra Danio's. First off, they look they look
like fishy. Just find out in a lake, really, you know,
like they're just they're brown and kind of like blue
with stripes. I mean, they're not like tropical, Like, they're.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Pretty freaking unique. Man, I wouldn't say.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm a lake. And they have long fins. This is
the long fin variety. So anybody who's interested look up
zebra danio. You will see them. Okay, So the five
facts Number one, they can regrow their heart tissue.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So I found out that Zebra danios have an ability
to regenerate damaged heart tissue, and apparently scientists are now
studying them extensively to understand how this works so that
they could hopefully apply it to people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I was gonna say, I wonder if that could be
something we do.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I don't think the two of us, but you never know,
as the human species, yes, a new hobby going off
the scientific route. They were also the first genetically modified
pet fish, I guess, which I mean, I'm not excited
(04:55):
about that, but like they're just they've just been around
a long time. So now, I don't know if you
have ever heard of the glowfish, and they're like fish
that I am not a huge fan of because they're
they're they're like UV fish you know that we've created, yeah, right,
but they the I guess Zebra daniels were the first
(05:16):
fish that somebody took to make these UV glowfish. Now,
I mean in pet stores like you can easily you
can easily see them. They have their own tanks with
black lights because they just glow like they're at a rave,
you know. Now I have heard I have heard that
(05:37):
they no longer inject these fish. They have been modified
enough that they just are born this way. Now, I
don't know if that's completely.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
True, but i'd like I prefer that, Yes, I'd prefer that, so, so.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, it's a scientists inserted fluorescent protein genes from jellyfish.
I love to make them glow under UV light, and
these glowing fish became the first genetically modified petfish available
for purchase.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Fact number three they can survive extreme temperatures or well,
I think either direction, but it just said that zebra
Danio's are very hearty and can survive in a wide verrange,
a wide varrange, a wide variety of temperatures, making them
ideal for first time aquarists.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Which you are not tell the listeners the chillers that
you've been at this for decades I have, on and
off though, so right some breaks.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
A little bit about their personality. For number four, they're
fast little swimmers and they love to chase. They really are,
and they often engage in chasing games.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I was gonna say, they really do look very playful,
like this little group right here, like adorable and just
you know it just John on me.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So there's yeah, go ahead, there's one swimming around that's
not one of them.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I was just gonna say, like these all have these stripes,
but this one just has one long stripe on each side.
So what's that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh that's an algae eater. We'll get to him another time.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And number five, and this one is the most thrilling,
I think. Yeah, and it sharkens back to one of
our favorite movies. Shit. They have the ability to change sex,
(07:40):
just like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Perk. So if a
tank only has one gender of zebra danios, some of
them have the ability. They don't have to do this,
but they have the ability to change sex to ensure
that they can reproduce.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Life signs away.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Right there there. You haven't.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
My god, that sounded just like freaking Malcolm when you
said that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's what I tried.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So while this is not common, you know, they do
have this ability. So I think that's pretty damn interesting.
Hell yeah, so that's my first fish fact update.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Well, good for you man, Thank you for that. That
was very nice. Different.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It is different, yes, but I wanted something that I
could contribute on a on a weekly basis because sometimes
I don't read a book every week.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know, right, Well, thank you, you are welcome.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Hopefully the chillers enjoyed hearing a little bit about them.
And if anybody has any fish tanks, please send me
some pictures fish folk, right, anything. I'd love to see
pictures of your tanks.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh yeah, man, send them over.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So, okay, what do you have to say?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
What say you?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So? I finished too? Since we spoke last or not
spoke last?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Recorded?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah? The word?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So do you remember the book that I read? Let's
see what the dates were that I've read it. Doubtful,
but well this doesn't make any sense. Oh yes it does.
It was last year. I was gonna say this, says
I finished at March eleventh, last year of March eleventh,
Our Wives under the Sea. The author is now Julia Armfield,
and it was about this. It's like I forget what category.
(09:33):
It wasn't horror, I don't think, but maybe it wasn't
it was, but more like, well, it was like a
fantasy and it's two women. They're married and one goes
on this like submarine mission and like no one knows
what happened down there, but it wasn't good. And she
comes back and like it's.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
A very very sound familiar.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well I freaking loved it and I gave it four stars.
So I get these emails of like books coming out,
and this one had been like on my radar. I
completely forgot about it, by the same author. And yesterday
Ashley and I went on a day date and we
went to the movies and then we went to a bookstore.
(10:19):
So we're and I was on a mission.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
To like Barnes and Noble. Yeah, nice, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Right, okay, So I went with the what do you say?
I went with the plan of two specific tension. Thank you,
with these two specific books I wanted. As I'm flying
through looking for them, I see this book called Private
Rights Rites by the same author of Our Wives under
(10:46):
the Sea. So I got so excited so grabbed it.
So then the other one that I wanted was All
the Water in the World. Didn't find it, so I
just thought, let's just easy does it and a look
for it. You know another day. That book is about
it's dystopian futuristic. The world is like not as we
(11:11):
know it now. They call their hurricanes megacanes because they're
just so And how the family is living above the
Natural Museum of History in Manhattan. That's like at the
water levels are so high.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, I do remember this.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So didn't end up finding that one while I was there.
That one is I don't know if I'm saying this right,
Aaron E I R E n kaufel c A f
A l L Right, So didn't get that. But then
this other one, another crazy situation, wild dark Shore, that
also came up with one of these emails, is by
(11:45):
Charlotte McConaughey. Not sure if I'm saying that correctly. Do
you remember the book that I just recently read called Migrations.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Kai Actually, yeah, kind of idea.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, well it's the same freaking author. How insane is that?
I was like fiddling around on my phone trying to
get a picture of the cover so I would know
what to look for, and I accidentally hit the author's name,
and then Migrations came up.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Well, wonder's never ceased, right, It's just insane.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I was so delighted. So I had to ask for
help for that one, but they found it for me
and I started it this morning. It is already fantastic dystopian.
This man and his children live like very near Antarctica,
and no one else is there anymore, Like all the
scientists have left. They get delivery sometimes, but like basically
(12:30):
on the mainland, it's complete chaos and it's not good.
There's like barely any food. Water levels keep rising, not good.
So they were touching on that a little bit. But
this woman washes up on shore and that's how the
book starts.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh yeah, so doesn't sound horrible.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right, I mean, you're welcome to borrow.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm a mermaid.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Now. The two that I just finished. One is called
Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney. Did you read one by her?
I always forget the name of it. I have not
read it Rock Paper Scissors. I feel like you've read
that one. Did you like it? Do you remember.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It? Was? It was alright?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I wasn't like enthralled by it.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, yeah, I never read it. I didn't love the description,
but it always pops up like as a suggestion. But
she wrote this Beautiful Ugly one. I gave it four stars.
It was fast paced, very interesting, takes place on this
like little Scottish Island, beautiful scenery like the way you know, Oh,
imagery is very good, like psychological thriller mystery. I did
(13:38):
predict some things, but not all. And I was definitely
surprised at the ending, So that was nice. Other one
you would definitely not like. It was called like Mother,
Like Mother by Susan Rieger also gave that four Stars
just shows the dynamic between a daughter, an adult daughter,
adult mother and then the grandmother and how they are
(14:02):
all as people. It's a novel and like how they
all affected each other and like their personalities basically, and
like it was very sad but excellent, and I loved
the ending. Well and yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, there you have it, folks, right and look we
just hit the fifteen minute mark again. Not too bad, no,
not too shabby, right, So everybody, it's Talia's turn to
present a case today. Absolutely, so we're going to just
let her take it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Away, thank you. All right, So this is the case
of Rebecca Marodi. Do you have the note opened? Yes,
all right, you may scroll through and stop at the
fire all right.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Well, first photo, I mean, she looks like a lovely lady.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I know, Sunshine tat Life's.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Got a lot of tats going on, a very prim
and proper haircut. I'd like to have that kind of hair.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
To be honest.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Her with a cute little dog, and she's a firefighter. Yes,
well it appears anyway. Yes, okay, So that's where I stopped, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So I'm going to start with just a quick little
summary of what happened to her, and then I'm going
to talk about her. I'm going to go back and
forth when I refer to her as Rebecca or Becky,
she went by Becky, Okay, so I'm going to be
using that name as well. So the San Diego Sheriff's
(15:38):
Office began investigating a homicide that occurred on the evening
of February seventeenth, twenty twenty five, in Ramona, California. At
approximately eight fifty eight pm, deputies from the Ramona substation
for their Sheriff's Department responded to a call regarding an
(15:58):
assault with a deadly weapon at a local residence. Upon arrival,
the deputies found Rebecca, forty nine years old, inside of
her own home with multiple stab wounds to her neck, chest,
and abdomen terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
They attempted to save her life, and the deputy's were
administering life saving measures until the paramedics had arrived. Despite
all of their efforts, she succumbed to her injuries and
was pronounced deceased at the scene. So this home that
she owned, her wife, Yolanda, and her mother, Lorena lived
(16:37):
there with her. So Yolanda was not at the scene
at the time.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Londa, Yolanda's mother or I'm so sorry mother, Becky's mother.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yes, So Yolanda, Becky's wife, was not home at the time. Lorena,
Becky's mother, was home, and that's who called nine to
one to one. She found Becky injured and that is
when she made the call. So that's what occurred. I'm
going to go into Becky's background now. So she was
(17:06):
a captain with the cal Fire Department for more than
thirty years and that served the riverside the San Bernardino
and San Diego counties. And she had planned to retire
this year. So she began, you're like this year, Yeah, okay.
She began as a volunteer fire fighter in Marino Valley
(17:26):
in nineteen ninety three and she worked her way up
becoming a captain in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, what a you know, when you think about
volunteering for something, I mean that's an intense thing to
volunteer for.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh absolutely, I mean extremely risky and dangerous. And so
selfless and giving. I mean clearly trying to protect people
and literally save their lives. Crazy not exactly like volunteering
at the library, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Well, I mean both are nice.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Oh absolutely, I would love to be a library volunteer.
Those are heroes to me as well. I'm not kidding,
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm just saying, you know, that's just when you think
about on the scale of what I could volunteer for, like,
that's some intense stuff. Anyway, I digress.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Go ahead. So the battalion chief for the CalFire Department,
Paul Saluge, was quoted saying she was never afraid to
get involved with a person who needed help. She was
always willing to extend herself to assist them. Her passing
is a profound loss to her family, friends, and all
who had the privilege of working alongside her. So, besides
(18:43):
her operational assignments with the fire Department, she was also
deeply involved in peer support and has Matt always known
to prioritize the well being of her colleagues, and she
would travel to different stations to check on the welfare
of other firefighters. So do I remember the Eton fire
in California that took place in January. It was one
(19:04):
of the wildfires. There was a lot of news coverage
on it.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The one that had like it kept going because the winds.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yes, okay, exactly, I mean there were several But so
she was one of the thousands of firefighters who battled that.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I knew I recognized her pictures.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Oh yeah, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because I remember seeing I remember seeing her when you
were talking about this stuff when the fires were really
out of control and they were showing her, and I thought,
I mean, God blessed that woman. Oh absolutely, she died
until right now.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Right well, she was in several social media posts as
well when they were, you know, showing different crew members.
So she spent seventeen days there fighting the Eton Fire
in La So initially there were reports that this was
a hate crime and that Becky was targeted due to
her sexuality. There were reports that she was blamed heavily
(20:01):
for not doing enough, I guess or effectively enough in
her part like to battle this fire. So I just
wanted to talk about the fire a little bit. So
it was highly destructive. It occurred in La County and
it began the evening of January seventh in the Eaton Canyon,
so it was driven by the powerful Santa Ana winds
(20:24):
in the foothill communities, and the town where it particularly
hit was Alta Dina. So it killed seventeen people. It
destroyed more than nine thousand buildings. It was the fifth
deadliest and second most destructive wildfire in California history so far.
So it was able to be fully contained on January
(20:45):
thirty first, after burning for twenty four days. So it
was one of eight wildfires that took place in January
of this year. It burns simultaneously with the deadly Palisades
fire that occurred in the Santa Monic Mountains. All right,
So back to the day of the murder, So I
guess it was you know, observed that they had a
(21:07):
ring doorbell at the residence. So Lorena, Becky's mother shared
the footage with the San Diego County Sheriff's deputies. Okay,
This footage showed two people believed to be Becky and
her wife, Yolanda, running across the patio about an hour
(21:29):
earlier at the house. Lorena was then interviewed by county
homicide detectives, and she told them that Becky told Yolanda
the week prior that she was ending their marriage. Now,
if you look at the photos I sent you, you can't
really read much. It's too small. But I have the
arrest warrant filed by the DA's office. I have like
three pictures of that, and you can also see pictures
(21:52):
of Becky and Yolanda and also just Yolanda by herself. So,
according to the warrant, a little after eight pm that evening,
which was an hour before Lorena called nine one one,
The warrant reads quote, a female believed to be Rebecca
was seen running across the patio camera angle with a
female in a yellow shirt believed to be Rebecca's wife, Yolanda,
(22:14):
chasing after her. A female voice believed to be Rebecca
is heard yelling out, Yolanda, please, I don't want to die.
Rebecca reappears in the patio camera angle with what appears
to be apparent blood on her back. In response to
Rebecca's statement of not wanting to die, Yolanda responded, you
should have thought.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
About that before, goodness.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
The warrant goes on to say that Yolanda is seen
on the video standing in front of Becky at one point,
apparently holding a knife in her right hand and with
what seems to be blood on her arms. Yolanda can
be heard instructing Becky to go back inside the home.
Becky repeatedly begs Yolanda to call nine one one. Eventually,
Rebecca obeyed Yolanda's orders and the two were seen entering
(22:55):
the home, which was the last time Rebecca was seen
in this footage. Yeah. So, Now, later on in the night,
at nine twenty, the ring camera at the front door
captures Yolanda, wearing a different outfit, packing up her pets, luggage,
and other items and then loading them into a silver
Chevy Equinox SUV, and detectives later checked with the Department
(23:15):
of Homeland Security that recorded her vehicle passing into Mexico
Leader that night. Her whereabouts remain unknown. She apparently, yeah,
she apparently has family in I don't know if it's
correct to say the town of Tequila or the area
of Tequila in Mexico, but she knows several people there,
so I would imagine though, if that's known, they would
(23:39):
be looking in that area and clearly haven't found her yet,
you know, so who knows where she is? So she
remains on the run, but after it happened. She texts
a friend, who came forward the following day to tell
the police. The text message read quote, Becky came home
and told me she was leaving me. She met someone else.
(24:00):
All the messages were lies. We had a big fight
and I hurt her. I'm sorry, so I don't know, man,
I mean, well, good for the friend, Oh absolutely, just
like Spencer in my last story. Yes, agreed.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Do you know they get these poor closures and they
just pop them right out there?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yes? Agreed. So anyone with information regarding this incident is
encouraged to contact the San Diego County Homicide Unit at
eight five eight two eight five six three three zero
or after hours at eight five eight eight six eight
thirty two hundred and Anonymous tips can also be submitted
(24:43):
to crime Stoppers at eight eight eight five eight zero
eight four seven seven. What are your thoughts on all
of this?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Well, obviously it's incredibly sad. It makes it more sad
when you have these people who are like, I mean,
a freaking volunteer firefighter who gets stabbed to death, and
I mean, my last thought remains good for the friend
who didn't, you know, not do anything because it was
another friend or something. It's crazy that this chick's still
(25:14):
on the run as well.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I'm a little surprised by that too. Well, and real
quick back to the note that I sent you with
the pictures, I just wanted to explain when you're looking
at them. After the picture of Becky with the fire
behind her, next one is obviously Becky. After that one
are all like the couple photos that I found. Right
of them, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I mean, Yolanda's tattoos are distinct.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Very good point. Yes, So farther down if you look,
I have pictures of their home and also the paramedics
from the fire department taking Becky's body out, and she
had an American flag laid across her body just in
honor of her.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
And yes, yeah, very very sad.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah. Further down is the warrant that I mentioned that
Obviously the prince is very small, you'd have to zoom in,
but that's three pages of the warrant below that is
one of the I was going to call it an AD.
It's not an AD, but like, not exactly the missing poster,
(26:22):
but something that I found just explaining or I should say,
displaying with the two last names that she has been
known by her vehicle and the license plate number. Further
down is the wanted post I found that was released
in Mexico and that's in Spanish, all right, so you
(26:46):
can stop looking. Okay, So back to what you were
saying earlier, I definitely agree that it's strange they haven't
found her yet. And I was going to say, you know,
you wouldn't think she'd be like a pro at somehow
not be found, but especially that you know the town
or area or village of Tequila, that they know that
(27:09):
she has relatives or friends there, and well.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
This is I think this is kind of a dumb
question to ask.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But no such thing, man.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I am just wondering though, Like she's in a different
country now, so I mean, do American law enforcement even
have jurisdiction over there, like if she's over there now?
Okay fine, But like you know, you remember how you
used to like seeing those old TV shows people would
be like, oh, I'm fleeing to Canada or something. Well,
(27:38):
I think that's clean into Mexico. So I'm saying, is
Mexico looking for her? Well they must be, because there's
the wanted poster.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
On behalf of the country who wants the person, and
then they would extradite them back to right right.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
So I'm saying, like the American police aren't necessarily down
there looking for her.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
About that, i'd imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But well I don't either, That's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So back to
me thinking how much of a pro is she really
at this? This is not the first manhunt that Yolanda
was a part of.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
WOW.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Back in two thousand October, specifically, she stabbed her then husband,
James Alegenda Czech to death in San Bernardino County, Okay.
She was the suspect at the time. Her name was
Yolanda A Legenda Czech. She had filed for divorce against
(28:36):
James months earlier, and the pair agreed to mutual restraining
orders against each other.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
They also agreed to joint legal custody of their two children,
at the time, nine and four years old. Yolanda was
granted full physical custody, granted she had not killed him yet.
So I suppose no one thought anything of that. If
you go back to your pictures, I have a photo
of their It's not the whole divorce preceding paperwork. But
(29:06):
it's that she filed against him and everything that was
put into place. If you keep scrolling, you can see
a picture of him, and then below that is the
picture of her when she was actually arrested. Below that,
I have an article back from I believe it was
two thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
All the brook woman saw it an estranged husband's death.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Correct, Yeah, and that's it. Yeah, So Yolanda tried to
flee with her children following his murder. She then turned
herself in though to police, twenty four hours later. In
two thousand and three, she pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter
and she was sentenced to eleven years in state prison
(29:48):
in two thousand and four. She was only, though, in
custody from February of that year until November of twenty thirteen,
so she only served nine years.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Oh yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So I found an article after Becky's death of James's mother.
She spoke to a reporter and you know, basically said
how twenty five years later this was extremely triggering for her,
of course.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Nancy Hayworth is her name. She said that James was
a marine at Camp Pendleton. She now lives in Iowa.
She participated in this interview over the phone. She said,
quote twenty five years later, there's not a day that
went by that I don't think about him. But when
this happened, oh my god. My son was a good man.
(30:38):
He was Everybody wants to say that about their children,
But my oldest boy was my good boy, which just
breaks my heart.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Obviously, She said, this last week has been very painful
as it opened up old wounds about her son's death,
with eerie similarities between the two cases. Scary, very scary.
She scares me, she always has. She said she only
met Yolanda once, she was a little immature at times,
and also she was just not happy unless all the
(31:07):
attention was on her. She said that Yolanda and her
son were divorcing when he met somebody else five months
after the divorce filing is when he was killed.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
According to Nancy, she said, I don't feel that that
sentence was ever enough. I thought, how could someone take
someone's life and only be in for a few years
and then be let go to get to live your
life and my son will never have that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, So well, and I guess she was correct in that.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You know, I mean both of these mothers.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Just I'm saying she wasn't rehabilitated, that's for damn sure.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
No, it's certainly not. And to basically like lay low
all these years. I found an article I think it's
actually in the pictures. Well, the article's not in the pictures,
but the pictures that I sent you there was a
picture of Becky and Yolanda with two others women. Yeah,
so they were very close friends, this other couple, and
they were Becky's friends though ended up meeting Yolanda of course,
(32:08):
like when Becky and she got together, which was thought
to be around twenty twenty two. They got engaged in
twenty twenty two, so I'm not sure how long they
were together before that. But the friends said that, you know,
Becky knew about Yolanda's path.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I was just going to ask, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
She knew, and was not to say she made excuses
for her, but basically like viewed her as a victim
of sorts and you know, didn't want to trigger her,
didn't want to do that, like just seemed to be a.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Little old either.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That's just it's not fun to do exactly, and just
walking on eggshells, but also protective of Yolanda and that
she's fragile. I guess she was very very jealous. And
actually Becky has an ex wife as well, who I
listened to an interview that she gave, and I guess
she and Becky lived in this together when they were married.
(33:01):
I think it said they were married for about seven
years and ended amicably. And she said, I never met
Yolanda myself, but good right, but she said, like just
I guess they had mutual friends. And the ex wife
had heard that Yolanda was very controlling and like Becky
(33:21):
would have to ask permission for things in terms of
going to hang out with people or going to do
something by herself. Like I guess the motorcycle riding was
a big thing, and Yolanda would go with her, but
like Becky would also want to go on these like
bigger trips with this crew of women, which it was
like their friend group, and it was not a motorcycle gang,
(33:44):
but like a motorcycle group. They call themselves the San Diegolitas.
And what I'm getting too is it's actually taking place today.
It's Becky's celebration of life and they're doing a memorial ride.
So March sixteen, yeah, yeah, So the ride Free memorial
motorcycle ride is being organized by the San Diego Litis,
(34:06):
an all female motorcycle collective of which Maroni was a member.
Becky the celebration of life is going to be held
at Josie's Hideout Saloon, which will include an afternoon of
music with several Ramona bands. Ramona, California, is the area
that her home was. So there were multiple friends that
(34:27):
contributed to the article and just went through different memories
and just how fantastic of a person Becky sounded. There's
also something called the Benevolent Fund, and they're using those
funds to help out Becky's mother, Lorena. As of March ninth,
the fund had reached more than twenty six thousand of
its fifty thousand dollars goal. So the memorial ride was
(34:49):
due to begin today at nine am, and then, like
I said, it was going to end at Josie's Hideout
and they were hoping that, you know, a lot of
the community would participate. Touring motorcycle trip is what I
was trying to think of with the term. So I
don't know. So Becky also owned a horse, and the
(35:11):
friends in the article, like they both own the horses
I would ride together and like I guess, participate in
different like gaming events. And she was describing Becky and
bringing up different memories and she said that quote she
was such a warm and loving person. She once gave
CPR to a hummingbird.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Oh my god, I sure you would love that.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
She rescued a cat from a burning house and rescued
several dogs from fires. When she showed up to a call,
she wouldn't leave until all the animals involved were taken
care of and accounted for. Ugh, I know, So again,
anyone with information regarding this incident, please call the homicide
unit at eight five eight two eight five sixty three thirty.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And well, God bless her.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I know, just sounded like a wonderful woman, and Yolanda
does not seem to be particularly stable.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
I'd say that's correct. Yeah, well, thank you for bringing
that gloom into.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Oh it was so terrible researching this. And I have
to say, so what started all of this for me?
Because this is obviously a very recent case. I had
heard about that, you know, this fire chief had been murdered,
and there was just something about it that like stuck
with me and I wanted to keep checking in on
it to see like, well did they find who did this?
(36:34):
Like just just particularly fascinating. So I would look every
few days and I in the initial article, I didn't
mention whether she was married, single, nothing, And you know,
they had no clue who did it. They didn't have
any or I think it may have said that they
had a suspect, but you know, no details. Then the
(36:55):
next article I see when I checked back in was
the picture of Yolanda, that driver's license photo that was
in the note that I sent you, and it said
it referred to her. At least my brain only picked
up on they must have had the two last names.
But I just saw Yolanda a legend check and I thought,
oh wow, like this is not necessarily who's right, Like
(37:17):
who I would have imagined doing it? Like this is
so odd. So I'm thinking, oh, I've got to keep
my eye on this, like this is very fascinating, like
who the hell is this woman and where did this
come from? Well then another article, I see Maroni, and
I'm thinking that's the same last name. Like I I'm thinking, like,
(37:40):
is that a relative, like a relative did this to her?
Like this is crazy. Then I find another article, and
I'm like, I've been. I was keeping Ashley abreast of
all the updates, and I find I was finding them.
I was so sucked into this lucky girl. She was
patient as alone.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
So then like I'm sure it was in articles and
I was missing it or something. I don't freaking know,
but finally it hits me and I was like, oh
my god, Yolanda is her wife, and that just it was.
This was an extremely depressing one to do the research on.
And just not that anyone deserves to die or be
(38:21):
murdered or be tortured or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
You've literally used this sentence before. Have I go ahead,
but just finish it.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
The kind of human being that Becky sounded like just
made it all the more absolutely gut wrenching and heartbreaking.
And that's all I have to say.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I freaking agree.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah, anyway, Well, all I can say is thank you
for your diligence and your presentation, surely, and.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
May that sweet, sweet woman rest in peace. And I
hope her mother gets the assistance that she needs through
the Benevolent Fund.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Good no, not good call good memory. Yeah, And also
like obviously not the biggest focus here, but freaking Yulanda
loaded those animals of theirs into her vehicle before she
set out for who knows where, and not that I
think she's going to do anything to them, but how
(39:26):
awful you know, where are they?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well? First off, Mexico?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
We think I feel like if she.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Cared enough to take them with her, because it's like,
it's not like she left. If she would have left
Becky injured, right, I could see her wanting to take
them out of spite, right, like you're not gonna she'll
know they're missing out right, But she didn't. There wasn't
like she didn't have to take them at all. So
I feel like she you know, as a weird word,
(39:58):
but I do think she cares for those animals in
my opinion.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
All yes, correct, well most unsettling.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Absolutely so. I guess that wraps up today's story.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yea, in peace? Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
So we look forward to seeing everybody in our next episode.
I will be doing a topic, yeah yeah, and you'll
be getting more fish facts.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I almost choked on my tea.

as always, stay safe and stay.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Hi everybody, welcome back to our podcast chow Worthy with
Brent and Taliah.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Hello everyone, How you doing? Doing pretty good? How about you?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
It is windy is oh yeah, hendy?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, it's a very nice like stormy aesthetic to stay inside. Yeah,
you know in sweats as we are.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Sure are gloomy the weather or not us? Yeah, one
of us.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I guess I'm a little I was going to say dapper.
That's not me. I'm a little. I'm a little not
the world. I'm a little more toned down today.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
You're quiet, you're quiet, cautious. Did we tell that story?
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I think yes, we certainly did. When I said, you
didn't say you were scared of me.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Said I'm not scared cautious.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So okay, So before we get like started started, I
wanted to share with the listeners because like, you know,
look I don't I certainly don't read books as much
as you do out here. So I wanted to share
that I set up a fish tank.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh yes, tell them absolutely or.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Two write, but I'm going to talk about the bigger one,
the one that's sitting in between us as we speak.
And I thought, you know, it would just be nice
to give the listeners some updates as I go along
this journey. I think that would be Maybe there are
fish people out there.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I'm sure there are. I don't know why you're not
going to talk about the downstairs one. I mean it's gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, well that one is gorgeous, But I'm saying this
one is the current project, right that I'm working on.
So just so we all know, it's a twenty nine gallon,
a big oh right, sand on the bottom, all natural
plants everywhere everywhere.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
He means everywhere, he means everywhere.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
We've got some cloudy water going on, but hopefully that
will go away eventually. Right. But so, what I wanted
to do is I thought every episode I would give
some fun facts about one of the tank inhabitants that
I have thus far.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I think that would be lovely, right, and then they
can look it up see what it looks like.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Of course, absolutely right. So what I want to start with.
So this is like my version of like when you
do a book dumps dump, it's only gonna be five
fun facts.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
All right, Well I have a book dump coming way today,
so that's fun.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
So my five fun facts about my first resident. I'm
gonna be talking about the Zebra danio zebra jasper.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Can I say quickly, all of the fish that you've
gotten so far upstairs and downstairs? Yeah, big tank versus
little tank. Yeah, all remind me of crystals, Like there's
a crystal equivalent to everyone that you have. I see
them in crystal form. Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
So the zebra Danio's. First off, they look they look
like fishy. Just find out in a lake, really, you know,
like they're just they're brown and kind of like blue
with stripes. I mean, they're not like tropical, Like, they're.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Pretty freaking unique. Man, I wouldn't say.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm a lake. And they have long fins. This is
the long fin variety. So anybody who's interested look up
zebra danio. You will see them. Okay, So the five
facts Number one, they can regrow their heart tissue.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So I found out that Zebra danios have an ability
to regenerate damaged heart tissue, and apparently scientists are now
studying them extensively to understand how this works so that
they could hopefully apply it to people.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I was gonna say, I wonder if that could be
something we do.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I don't think the two of us, but you never know,
as the human species, yes, a new hobby going off
the scientific route. They were also the first genetically modified
pet fish, I guess, which I mean, I'm not excited
(04:55):
about that, but like they're just they've just been around
a long time. So now, I don't know if you
have ever heard of the glowfish, and they're like fish
that I am not a huge fan of because they're
they're they're like UV fish you know that we've created, yeah, right,
but they the I guess Zebra daniels were the first
(05:16):
fish that somebody took to make these UV glowfish. Now,
I mean in pet stores like you can easily you
can easily see them. They have their own tanks with
black lights because they just glow like they're at a rave,
you know. Now I have heard I have heard that
(05:37):
they no longer inject these fish. They have been modified
enough that they just are born this way. Now, I
don't know if that's completely.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
True, but i'd like I prefer that, Yes, I'd prefer that, so, so.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yes, it's a scientists inserted fluorescent protein genes from jellyfish.
I love to make them glow under UV light, and
these glowing fish became the first genetically modified petfish available
for purchase.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Fact number three they can survive extreme temperatures or well,
I think either direction, but it just said that zebra
Danio's are very hearty and can survive in a wide verrange,
a wide varrange, a wide variety of temperatures, making them
ideal for first time aquarists.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Which you are not tell the listeners the chillers that
you've been at this for decades I have, on and
off though, so right some breaks.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
A little bit about their personality. For number four, they're
fast little swimmers and they love to chase. They really are,
and they often engage in chasing games.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I was gonna say, they really do look very playful,
like this little group right here, like adorable and just
you know it just John on me.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
So there's yeah, go ahead, there's one swimming around that's
not one of them.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I was just gonna say, like these all have these stripes,
but this one just has one long stripe on each side.
So what's that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh that's an algae eater. We'll get to him another time.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Sorry.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And number five, and this one is the most thrilling,
I think. Yeah, and it sharkens back to one of
our favorite movies. Shit. They have the ability to change sex,
(07:40):
just like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Perk. So if a
tank only has one gender of zebra danios, some of
them have the ability. They don't have to do this,
but they have the ability to change sex to ensure
that they can reproduce.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Life signs away.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Right there there. You haven't.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
My god, that sounded just like freaking Malcolm when you
said that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
That's what I tried.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Shit.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
So while this is not common, you know, they do
have this ability. So I think that's pretty damn interesting.
Hell yeah, so that's my first fish fact update.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Well, good for you man, Thank you for that. That
was very nice. Different.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It is different, yes, but I wanted something that I
could contribute on a on a weekly basis because sometimes
I don't read a book every week.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
You know, right, Well, thank you, you are welcome.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Hopefully the chillers enjoyed hearing a little bit about them.
And if anybody has any fish tanks, please send me
some pictures fish folk, right, anything. I'd love to see
pictures of your tanks.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh yeah, man, send them over.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So, okay, what do you have to say?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
All right?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
What say you?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So? I finished too? Since we spoke last or not
spoke last?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Recorded?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah? The word?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So do you remember the book that I read? Let's
see what the dates were that I've read it. Doubtful,
but well this doesn't make any sense. Oh yes it does.
It was last year. I was gonna say this, says
I finished at March eleventh, last year of March eleventh,
Our Wives under the Sea. The author is now Julia Armfield,
and it was about this. It's like I forget what category.
(09:33):
It wasn't horror, I don't think, but maybe it wasn't
it was, but more like, well, it was like a
fantasy and it's two women. They're married and one goes
on this like submarine mission and like no one knows
what happened down there, but it wasn't good. And she
comes back and like it's.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
A very very sound familiar.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Well I freaking loved it and I gave it four stars.
So I get these emails of like books coming out,
and this one had been like on my radar. I
completely forgot about it, by the same author. And yesterday
Ashley and I went on a day date and we
went to the movies and then we went to a bookstore.
(10:19):
So we're and I was on a mission.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
To like Barnes and Noble. Yeah, nice, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Right, okay, So I went with the what do you say?
I went with the plan of two specific tension. Thank you,
with these two specific books I wanted. As I'm flying
through looking for them, I see this book called Private
Rights Rites by the same author of Our Wives under
(10:46):
the Sea. So I got so excited so grabbed it.
So then the other one that I wanted was All
the Water in the World. Didn't find it, so I
just thought, let's just easy does it and a look
for it. You know another day. That book is about
it's dystopian futuristic. The world is like not as we
(11:11):
know it now. They call their hurricanes megacanes because they're
just so And how the family is living above the
Natural Museum of History in Manhattan. That's like at the
water levels are so high.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, I do remember this.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So didn't end up finding that one while I was there.
That one is I don't know if I'm saying this right,
Aaron E I R E n kaufel c A f
A l L Right, So didn't get that. But then
this other one, another crazy situation, wild dark Shore, that
also came up with one of these emails, is by
(11:45):
Charlotte McConaughey. Not sure if I'm saying that correctly. Do
you remember the book that I just recently read called Migrations.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Kai Actually, yeah, kind of idea.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Yeah, well it's the same freaking author. How insane is that?
I was like fiddling around on my phone trying to
get a picture of the cover so I would know
what to look for, and I accidentally hit the author's name,
and then Migrations came up.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Well, wonder's never ceased, right, It's just insane.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I was so delighted. So I had to ask for
help for that one, but they found it for me
and I started it this morning. It is already fantastic dystopian.
This man and his children live like very near Antarctica,
and no one else is there anymore, Like all the
scientists have left. They get delivery sometimes, but like basically
(12:30):
on the mainland, it's complete chaos and it's not good.
There's like barely any food. Water levels keep rising, not good.
So they were touching on that a little bit. But
this woman washes up on shore and that's how the
book starts.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh yeah, so doesn't sound horrible.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right, I mean, you're welcome to borrow.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'm a mermaid.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Now. The two that I just finished. One is called
Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney. Did you read one by her?
I always forget the name of it. I have not
read it Rock Paper Scissors. I feel like you've read
that one. Did you like it? Do you remember.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
It? Was? It was alright?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I wasn't like enthralled by it.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Yeah, yeah, I never read it. I didn't love the description,
but it always pops up like as a suggestion. But
she wrote this Beautiful Ugly one. I gave it four stars.
It was fast paced, very interesting, takes place on this
like little Scottish Island, beautiful scenery like the way you know, Oh,
imagery is very good, like psychological thriller mystery. I did
(13:38):
predict some things, but not all. And I was definitely
surprised at the ending, So that was nice. Other one
you would definitely not like. It was called like Mother,
Like Mother by Susan Rieger also gave that four Stars
just shows the dynamic between a daughter, an adult daughter,
adult mother and then the grandmother and how they are
(14:02):
all as people. It's a novel and like how they
all affected each other and like their personalities basically, and
like it was very sad but excellent, and I loved
the ending. Well and yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Well, there you have it, folks, right and look we
just hit the fifteen minute mark again. Not too bad, no,
not too shabby, right, So everybody, it's Talia's turn to
present a case today. Absolutely, so we're going to just
let her take it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Away, thank you. All right, So this is the case
of Rebecca Marodi. Do you have the note opened? Yes,
all right, you may scroll through and stop at the
fire all right.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Well, first photo, I mean, she looks like a lovely lady.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I know, Sunshine tat Life's.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Got a lot of tats going on, a very prim
and proper haircut. I'd like to have that kind of hair.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
To be honest.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Her with a cute little dog, and she's a firefighter. Yes,
well it appears anyway. Yes, okay, So that's where I stopped, Okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
So I'm going to start with just a quick little
summary of what happened to her, and then I'm going
to talk about her. I'm going to go back and
forth when I refer to her as Rebecca or Becky,
she went by Becky, Okay, so I'm going to be
using that name as well. So the San Diego Sheriff's
(15:38):
Office began investigating a homicide that occurred on the evening
of February seventeenth, twenty twenty five, in Ramona, California. At
approximately eight fifty eight pm, deputies from the Ramona substation
for their Sheriff's Department responded to a call regarding an
(15:58):
assault with a deadly weapon at a local residence. Upon arrival,
the deputies found Rebecca, forty nine years old, inside of
her own home with multiple stab wounds to her neck, chest,
and abdomen terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
They attempted to save her life, and the deputy's were
administering life saving measures until the paramedics had arrived. Despite
all of their efforts, she succumbed to her injuries and
was pronounced deceased at the scene. So this home that
she owned, her wife, Yolanda, and her mother, Lorena lived
(16:37):
there with her. So Yolanda was not at the scene
at the time.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Londa, Yolanda's mother or I'm so sorry mother, Becky's mother.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yes, So Yolanda, Becky's wife, was not home at the time. Lorena,
Becky's mother, was home, and that's who called nine to
one to one. She found Becky injured and that is
when she made the call. So that's what occurred. I'm
going to go into Becky's background now. So she was
(17:06):
a captain with the cal Fire Department for more than
thirty years and that served the riverside the San Bernardino
and San Diego counties. And she had planned to retire
this year. So she began, you're like this year, Yeah, okay.
She began as a volunteer fire fighter in Marino Valley
(17:26):
in nineteen ninety three and she worked her way up
becoming a captain in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, what a you know, when you think about
volunteering for something, I mean that's an intense thing to
volunteer for.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh absolutely, I mean extremely risky and dangerous. And so
selfless and giving. I mean clearly trying to protect people
and literally save their lives. Crazy not exactly like volunteering
at the library, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Well, I mean both are nice.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Oh absolutely, I would love to be a library volunteer.
Those are heroes to me as well. I'm not kidding,
I'm not.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm just saying, you know, that's just when you think
about on the scale of what I could volunteer for, like,
that's some intense stuff. Anyway, I digress.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Go ahead. So the battalion chief for the CalFire Department,
Paul Saluge, was quoted saying she was never afraid to
get involved with a person who needed help. She was
always willing to extend herself to assist them. Her passing
is a profound loss to her family, friends, and all
who had the privilege of working alongside her. So, besides
(18:43):
her operational assignments with the fire Department, she was also
deeply involved in peer support and has Matt always known
to prioritize the well being of her colleagues, and she
would travel to different stations to check on the welfare
of other firefighters. So do I remember the Eton fire
in California that took place in January. It was one
(19:04):
of the wildfires. There was a lot of news coverage
on it.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The one that had like it kept going because the winds.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yes, okay, exactly, I mean there were several But so
she was one of the thousands of firefighters who battled that.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I knew I recognized her pictures.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Oh yeah, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Because I remember seeing I remember seeing her when you
were talking about this stuff when the fires were really
out of control and they were showing her, and I thought,
I mean, God blessed that woman. Oh absolutely, she died
until right now.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Right well, she was in several social media posts as
well when they were, you know, showing different crew members.
So she spent seventeen days there fighting the Eton Fire
in La So initially there were reports that this was
a hate crime and that Becky was targeted due to
her sexuality. There were reports that she was blamed heavily
(20:01):
for not doing enough, I guess or effectively enough in
her part like to battle this fire. So I just
wanted to talk about the fire a little bit. So
it was highly destructive. It occurred in La County and
it began the evening of January seventh in the Eaton Canyon,
so it was driven by the powerful Santa Ana winds
(20:24):
in the foothill communities, and the town where it particularly
hit was Alta Dina. So it killed seventeen people. It
destroyed more than nine thousand buildings. It was the fifth
deadliest and second most destructive wildfire in California history so far.
So it was able to be fully contained on January
(20:45):
thirty first, after burning for twenty four days. So it
was one of eight wildfires that took place in January
of this year. It burns simultaneously with the deadly Palisades
fire that occurred in the Santa Monic Mountains. All right,
So back to the day of the murder, So I
guess it was you know, observed that they had a
(21:07):
ring doorbell at the residence. So Lorena, Becky's mother shared
the footage with the San Diego County Sheriff's deputies. Okay,
This footage showed two people believed to be Becky and
her wife, Yolanda, running across the patio about an hour
(21:29):
earlier at the house. Lorena was then interviewed by county
homicide detectives, and she told them that Becky told Yolanda
the week prior that she was ending their marriage. Now,
if you look at the photos I sent you, you can't
really read much. It's too small. But I have the
arrest warrant filed by the DA's office. I have like
three pictures of that, and you can also see pictures
(21:52):
of Becky and Yolanda and also just Yolanda by herself. So,
according to the warrant, a little after eight pm that evening,
which was an hour before Lorena called nine one one,
The warrant reads quote, a female believed to be Rebecca
was seen running across the patio camera angle with a
female in a yellow shirt believed to be Rebecca's wife, Yolanda,
(22:14):
chasing after her. A female voice believed to be Rebecca
is heard yelling out, Yolanda, please, I don't want to die.
Rebecca reappears in the patio camera angle with what appears
to be apparent blood on her back. In response to
Rebecca's statement of not wanting to die, Yolanda responded, you
should have thought.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
About that before, goodness.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
The warrant goes on to say that Yolanda is seen
on the video standing in front of Becky at one point,
apparently holding a knife in her right hand and with
what seems to be blood on her arms. Yolanda can
be heard instructing Becky to go back inside the home.
Becky repeatedly begs Yolanda to call nine one one. Eventually,
Rebecca obeyed Yolanda's orders and the two were seen entering
(22:55):
the home, which was the last time Rebecca was seen
in this footage. Yeah. So, Now, later on in the night,
at nine twenty, the ring camera at the front door
captures Yolanda, wearing a different outfit, packing up her pets, luggage,
and other items and then loading them into a silver
Chevy Equinox SUV, and detectives later checked with the Department
(23:15):
of Homeland Security that recorded her vehicle passing into Mexico
Leader that night. Her whereabouts remain unknown. She apparently, yeah,
she apparently has family in I don't know if it's
correct to say the town of Tequila or the area
of Tequila in Mexico, but she knows several people there,
so I would imagine though, if that's known, they would
(23:39):
be looking in that area and clearly haven't found her yet,
you know, so who knows where she is? So she
remains on the run, but after it happened. She texts
a friend, who came forward the following day to tell
the police. The text message read quote, Becky came home
and told me she was leaving me. She met someone else.
(24:00):
All the messages were lies. We had a big fight
and I hurt her. I'm sorry, so I don't know, man,
I mean, well, good for the friend, Oh absolutely, just
like Spencer in my last story. Yes, agreed.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Do you know they get these poor closures and they
just pop them right out there?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yes? Agreed. So anyone with information regarding this incident is
encouraged to contact the San Diego County Homicide Unit at
eight five eight two eight five six three three zero
or after hours at eight five eight eight six eight
thirty two hundred and Anonymous tips can also be submitted
(24:43):
to crime Stoppers at eight eight eight five eight zero
eight four seven seven. What are your thoughts on all
of this?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Well, obviously it's incredibly sad. It makes it more sad
when you have these people who are like, I mean,
a freaking volunteer firefighter who gets stabbed to death, and
I mean, my last thought remains good for the friend
who didn't, you know, not do anything because it was
another friend or something. It's crazy that this chick's still
(25:14):
on the run as well.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I'm a little surprised by that too. Well, and real
quick back to the note that I sent you with
the pictures, I just wanted to explain when you're looking
at them. After the picture of Becky with the fire
behind her, next one is obviously Becky. After that one
are all like the couple photos that I found. Right
of them, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I mean, Yolanda's tattoos are distinct.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Very good point. Yes, So farther down if you look,
I have pictures of their home and also the paramedics
from the fire department taking Becky's body out, and she
had an American flag laid across her body just in
honor of her.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
And yes, yeah, very very sad.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
Yeah. Further down is the warrant that I mentioned that
Obviously the prince is very small, you'd have to zoom in,
but that's three pages of the warrant below that is
one of the I was going to call it an AD.
It's not an AD, but like, not exactly the missing poster,
(26:22):
but something that I found just explaining or I should say,
displaying with the two last names that she has been
known by her vehicle and the license plate number. Further
down is the wanted post I found that was released
in Mexico and that's in Spanish, all right, so you
(26:46):
can stop looking. Okay, So back to what you were
saying earlier, I definitely agree that it's strange they haven't
found her yet. And I was going to say, you know,
you wouldn't think she'd be like a pro at somehow
not be found, but especially that you know the town
or area or village of Tequila, that they know that
(27:09):
she has relatives or friends there, and well.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
This is I think this is kind of a dumb
question to ask.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
But no such thing, man.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I am just wondering though, Like she's in a different
country now, so I mean, do American law enforcement even
have jurisdiction over there, like if she's over there now?
Okay fine, But like you know, you remember how you
used to like seeing those old TV shows people would
be like, oh, I'm fleeing to Canada or something. Well,
(27:38):
I think that's clean into Mexico. So I'm saying, is
Mexico looking for her? Well they must be, because there's
the wanted poster.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
On behalf of the country who wants the person, and
then they would extradite them back to right right.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
So I'm saying, like the American police aren't necessarily down
there looking for her.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
About that, i'd imagine.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But well I don't either, That's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. So back to
me thinking how much of a pro is she really
at this? This is not the first manhunt that Yolanda
was a part of.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
WOW.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Back in two thousand October, specifically, she stabbed her then husband,
James Alegenda Czech to death in San Bernardino County, Okay.
She was the suspect at the time. Her name was
Yolanda A Legenda Czech. She had filed for divorce against
(28:36):
James months earlier, and the pair agreed to mutual restraining
orders against each other.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
They also agreed to joint legal custody of their two children,
at the time, nine and four years old. Yolanda was
granted full physical custody, granted she had not killed him yet.
So I suppose no one thought anything of that. If
you go back to your pictures, I have a photo
of their It's not the whole divorce preceding paperwork. But
(29:06):
it's that she filed against him and everything that was
put into place. If you keep scrolling, you can see
a picture of him, and then below that is the
picture of her when she was actually arrested. Below that,
I have an article back from I believe it was
two thousand.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
All the brook woman saw it an estranged husband's death.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Correct, Yeah, and that's it. Yeah, So Yolanda tried to
flee with her children following his murder. She then turned
herself in though to police, twenty four hours later. In
two thousand and three, she pled guilty to voluntary manslaughter
and she was sentenced to eleven years in state prison
(29:48):
in two thousand and four. She was only, though, in
custody from February of that year until November of twenty thirteen,
so she only served nine years.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Oh yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
So I found an article after Becky's death of James's mother.
She spoke to a reporter and you know, basically said
how twenty five years later this was extremely triggering for her,
of course.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Nancy Hayworth is her name. She said that James was
a marine at Camp Pendleton. She now lives in Iowa.
She participated in this interview over the phone. She said,
quote twenty five years later, there's not a day that
went by that I don't think about him. But when
this happened, oh my god. My son was a good man.
(30:38):
He was Everybody wants to say that about their children,
But my oldest boy was my good boy, which just
breaks my heart.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Obviously, She said, this last week has been very painful
as it opened up old wounds about her son's death,
with eerie similarities between the two cases. Scary, very scary.
She scares me, she always has. She said she only
met Yolanda once, she was a little immature at times,
and also she was just not happy unless all the
(31:07):
attention was on her. She said that Yolanda and her
son were divorcing when he met somebody else five months
after the divorce filing is when he was killed.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
According to Nancy, she said, I don't feel that that
sentence was ever enough. I thought, how could someone take
someone's life and only be in for a few years
and then be let go to get to live your
life and my son will never have that.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Yeah, So well, and I guess she was correct in that.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
You know, I mean both of these mothers.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Just I'm saying she wasn't rehabilitated, that's for damn sure.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
No, it's certainly not. And to basically like lay low
all these years. I found an article I think it's
actually in the pictures. Well, the article's not in the pictures,
but the pictures that I sent you there was a
picture of Becky and Yolanda with two others women. Yeah,
so they were very close friends, this other couple, and
they were Becky's friends though ended up meeting Yolanda of course,
(32:08):
like when Becky and she got together, which was thought
to be around twenty twenty two. They got engaged in
twenty twenty two, so I'm not sure how long they
were together before that. But the friends said that, you know,
Becky knew about Yolanda's path.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
I was just going to ask, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
She knew, and was not to say she made excuses
for her, but basically like viewed her as a victim
of sorts and you know, didn't want to trigger her,
didn't want to do that, like just seemed to be a.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Little old either.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
That's just it's not fun to do exactly, and just
walking on eggshells, but also protective of Yolanda and that
she's fragile. I guess she was very very jealous. And
actually Becky has an ex wife as well, who I
listened to an interview that she gave, and I guess
she and Becky lived in this together when they were married.
(33:01):
I think it said they were married for about seven
years and ended amicably. And she said, I never met
Yolanda myself, but good right, but she said, like just
I guess they had mutual friends. And the ex wife
had heard that Yolanda was very controlling and like Becky
(33:21):
would have to ask permission for things in terms of
going to hang out with people or going to do
something by herself. Like I guess the motorcycle riding was
a big thing, and Yolanda would go with her, but
like Becky would also want to go on these like
bigger trips with this crew of women, which it was
like their friend group, and it was not a motorcycle gang,
(33:44):
but like a motorcycle group. They call themselves the San Diegolitas.
And what I'm getting too is it's actually taking place today.
It's Becky's celebration of life and they're doing a memorial ride.
So March sixteen, yeah, yeah, So the ride Free memorial
motorcycle ride is being organized by the San Diego Litis,
(34:06):
an all female motorcycle collective of which Maroni was a member.
Becky the celebration of life is going to be held
at Josie's Hideout Saloon, which will include an afternoon of
music with several Ramona bands. Ramona, California, is the area
that her home was. So there were multiple friends that
(34:27):
contributed to the article and just went through different memories
and just how fantastic of a person Becky sounded. There's
also something called the Benevolent Fund, and they're using those
funds to help out Becky's mother, Lorena. As of March ninth,
the fund had reached more than twenty six thousand of
its fifty thousand dollars goal. So the memorial ride was
(34:49):
due to begin today at nine am, and then, like
I said, it was going to end at Josie's Hideout
and they were hoping that, you know, a lot of
the community would participate. Touring motorcycle trip is what I
was trying to think of with the term. So I
don't know. So Becky also owned a horse, and the
(35:11):
friends in the article, like they both own the horses
I would ride together and like I guess, participate in
different like gaming events. And she was describing Becky and
bringing up different memories and she said that quote she
was such a warm and loving person. She once gave
CPR to a hummingbird.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Oh my god, I sure you would love that.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
She rescued a cat from a burning house and rescued
several dogs from fires. When she showed up to a call,
she wouldn't leave until all the animals involved were taken
care of and accounted for. Ugh, I know, So again,
anyone with information regarding this incident, please call the homicide
unit at eight five eight two eight five sixty three thirty.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
And well, God bless her.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
I know, just sounded like a wonderful woman, and Yolanda
does not seem to be particularly stable.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
I'd say that's correct. Yeah, well, thank you for bringing
that gloom into.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Oh it was so terrible researching this. And I have
to say, so what started all of this for me?
Because this is obviously a very recent case. I had
heard about that, you know, this fire chief had been murdered,
and there was just something about it that like stuck
with me and I wanted to keep checking in on
it to see like, well did they find who did this?
(36:34):
Like just just particularly fascinating. So I would look every
few days and I in the initial article, I didn't
mention whether she was married, single, nothing, And you know,
they had no clue who did it. They didn't have
any or I think it may have said that they
had a suspect, but you know, no details. Then the
(36:55):
next article I see when I checked back in was
the picture of Yolanda, that driver's license photo that was
in the note that I sent you, and it said
it referred to her. At least my brain only picked
up on they must have had the two last names.
But I just saw Yolanda a legend check and I thought,
oh wow, like this is not necessarily who's right, Like
(37:17):
who I would have imagined doing it? Like this is
so odd. So I'm thinking, oh, I've got to keep
my eye on this, like this is very fascinating, like
who the hell is this woman and where did this
come from? Well then another article, I see Maroni, and
I'm thinking that's the same last name. Like I I'm thinking, like,
(37:40):
is that a relative, like a relative did this to her?
Like this is crazy. Then I find another article, and
I'm like, I've been. I was keeping Ashley abreast of
all the updates, and I find I was finding them.
I was so sucked into this lucky girl. She was
patient as alone.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
So then like I'm sure it was in articles and
I was missing it or something. I don't freaking know,
but finally it hits me and I was like, oh
my god, Yolanda is her wife, and that just it was.
This was an extremely depressing one to do the research on.
And just not that anyone deserves to die or be
(38:21):
murdered or be tortured or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
You've literally used this sentence before. Have I go ahead,
but just finish it.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
The kind of human being that Becky sounded like just
made it all the more absolutely gut wrenching and heartbreaking.
And that's all I have to say.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I freaking agree.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah, anyway, Well, all I can say is thank you
for your diligence and your presentation, surely, and.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
May that sweet, sweet woman rest in peace. And I
hope her mother gets the assistance that she needs through
the Benevolent Fund.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Good no, not good call good memory. Yeah, And also
like obviously not the biggest focus here, but freaking Yulanda
loaded those animals of theirs into her vehicle before she
set out for who knows where, and not that I
think she's going to do anything to them, but how
(39:26):
awful you know, where are they?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Well? First off, Mexico?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
We think I feel like if she.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
Cared enough to take them with her, because it's like,
it's not like she left. If she would have left
Becky injured, right, I could see her wanting to take
them out of spite, right, like you're not gonna she'll
know they're missing out right, But she didn't. There wasn't
like she didn't have to take them at all. So
I feel like she you know, as a weird word,
(39:58):
but I do think she cares for those animals in
my opinion.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
All yes, correct, well most unsettling.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
Absolutely so. I guess that wraps up today's story.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Yea, in peace? Absolutely yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
So we look forward to seeing everybody in our next episode.
I will be doing a topic, yeah yeah, and you'll
be getting more fish facts.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
I almost choked on my tea.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
So I can't wait for that. All right, So for real,
as always, stay safe and stay.
