Olejniczak had been on the run for more than a month after the death of her wife, Rebecca Marodi, who was found with fatal stab wounds at her Ramona community home on February 17.
Officials later said that Olejniczak's vehicle crossed into Mexico via the San Ysidro Port of Entry that same evening.
More than a month later, the Baja California Secretary of Citizen Security announced that Olejniczak had been detained near a hotel in Mexicali, just across the border from the California city of Calexico.

On Saturday evening, Mexican officials handed her off to U.S. Marshals at the Calexico West U.S. Port of Entry.
According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office, the Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility in eastern San Diego County is completing her booking process.
Once that is done, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office and the county court will schedule an arraignment date for her.

California U.S. Senator Alex Padilla Manhandled Out of DHS Secretary L.A. Presser, Cuffed
California U.S. Senator Alex Padilla Manhandled Out of DHS Secretary L.A. Presser, Cuffed originally appeared on L.A. Mag. United States Senator Alex Padilla was manhandled out of a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday in Los Angeles and hurled to the floor by federal agents who handcuffed him after he yelled out: "I have questions."Padilla, the son of Mexican immigrants who grew up in the San Fernando Valley, showed up as Noem was engaged in a press conference that ratcheted up rhetoric targeting Democratic leaders of Los Angeles, in particular Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom. As she spoke, Padilla identified himself and said "I have questions for the secretary." Before he could continue, the senator was flanked by agents in plainclothes and hustled out into the hallway where he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed by FBI agents. The encounter sparked outrage from Democrats, including Governor Gavin Newsom who posted on X: "If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you." The incident took place as Noem took aim at demonstrators who have engaged in violence against law enforcement and extensive vandalism that had marred much of DTLA including public buildings, parks, and the the Japanese community of Little Tokyo. She also ratcheted up the ugly rhetoric that continues to be leveled at Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. 'We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and burdensome leadership that this Governor Newsom and this mayor placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city,'' Noem said. She later said that she called Padilla, who was not charged, and had a conversation. "After he interrupted our press conference with law enforcement, I met with Senator Padilla for 15 minutes," she wrote on X. "We probably disagree on 90% of the topics but we agreed to exchanged phone numbers and we will continue to talk—that is the way it should be in this country."That explanation was not enough for Democratic leaders who took to the floor of the U.S. Senate on Capitol Hill to express their outrage. Among the lawmakers who made a statement was Cory Booker, the U.S. Senator from New Jersey. "A United States Senator in his own see him being thrown to the ground," Booker said. "This to me is such an abuse of authority, it is a violent act, and there can be no justification of seeing a senator forced to their knees, laid flat on the ground, their hands twisted behind their back, and being put into restraints." Padilla was not arrested in the incident. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 12, 2025, where it first appeared.

Teacher sued for allegedly giving Denver middle school students marijuana brownies
DENVER (KDVR) — The parents of two 12-year-old students in the Denver Public School district are suing a language arts teacher, accusing her of baking and distributing marijuana-laced brownies to the two children. Sharon Wilson, a 6th-grade language arts teacher at Kepner Beacon Middle School, is accused in a civil lawsuit of placing 'her students in direct danger after she personally baked and distributed home-made brownies laced with tetrahydrocannabinol,' or THC, the psychoactive ingredient of marijuana. Denver Public Schools will not close additional schools in 2025 The lawsuit alleges that Wilson held a writing contest for her 6th-grade class and, instead of providing a 'typical prize,' she gave them the laced brownies on June 4, 2024. The lawsuit says that the teacher admitted to 'making the brownies for' the two minors. The lawsuit alleges the two children ate the brownies and soon thereafter, 'began to feel sick and strange with symptoms including: difficulty walking, difficulty focusing, and overall feeling like something was happening to their bodies that they did not understand.' Both students required help making it out to their parents' vehicles at the end of the day, the complaint alleges. The lawsuit states that one of the children's mothers first thought her child had eaten peanuts, resulting in an allergic reaction, and texted Wilson to get more information. '(Wilson) responded via text message, admitting she did make the brownies because (the students) won (Wilson's) contest,' the lawsuit states. A screenshot of the text message exchange is included in the lawsuit, showing that the mother said her child was exhibiting 'red eyes' and dizziness, and asking what ingredients were in the brownies. Denver changes its mind and will keep center that aids homeless open afterall 'They are from scratch,' Wilson responded, in part. 'Maybe it is the unsweetened chocolate? I also use sugar, flour, Mexican vanilla, salt, baking soda, eggs.' 'Another student had one too, they made the most words with Greek and Latin roots, so they won the prize,' Wilson continued in her text with the parent. 'The other student hasn't reported any allergy symptoms. I'm so sorry, it sounds like an allergic reaction.' Both students were independently taken to urgent care that day, according to the lawsuit. Blood tests reportedly showed that each child had THC levels in their system. The Colorado Bureau of Investigations reportedly tested the brownies and found they did have marijuana. Denver Public Schools provided a statement about the teacher to FOX31 on Thursday. Middle school teacher Sharon Wilson was placed on paid administrative leave at the end of the 2023-2024 school year. This is standard procedure for Denver Public Schools until a matter is resolved. Wilson separated from DPS in August 2024, before the start of the 2024-2025 school year.
