A fire captain in California has been killed in her own home after being stabbed multiple times in what authorities suspect is a potential domestic violence attack, police said. The San Diego Sheriff's Office is currently investigating the homicide of 49-year-old Rebecca Marodi which occurred on the evening of Feb.

A woman suspected of killing her wife, a Cal Fire captain, was sentenced in 2004 to 11 years in prison for fatally stabbing her then-husband, sources say.

Investigators suspect that the victim knew the perpetrator and are treating this case as a potential domestic violence incident,” the sheriff’s office said.
