More Information
From New Windsor homicide victim met suspect at medieval reenactments, Times Herald-Record (recordonline.com) of Oct 16, 2019, 10:30pm: According to Catalina's mother, she moved to New Windsor about two years ago to be close to Luis.
People are also reporting he had a history of domestic violence against his first wife, whose SCA name I do not know (please tell me if you do), and from whom he was divorced. It is being reported that she died earlier this summer by overdose.
Perhaps it is time that I write another round.
The family confirmed that Debbie and Luis were romantically involved, although Rondon had also married another woman in 2017. He also bought a house on Quassaick Avenue that year, according to county records.It says of Catalina:
The family said Rondon sometimes spent time at Debbie's apartment at Southgate Village and she would sometimes stay at his place.
Deborah Waldinger met Luis Rondon years ago through a mutual hobby, medieval reenactments, her family says.Meanwhile, over on Reddit, some have asked, of course, if this was a poly situation:
[...]
Debbie Waldinger loved all animals, her mother said, especially the ones that are endangered.
To her family, Debbie was loving, caring, warm.
She was a great woman, a great girl, Ana Maria Waldinger said. She liked to help a lot of people.
She would go out of her way to make sure everyone was fine, even if it meant putting herself to the side, said one of her cousins, Sebastian Matute.
Debbie graduated from Delaware Valley College with a degree in animal conservation. College was also where she got involved in medieval reenactment groups. She belonged to the Markland Medieval Mercenary Militia, a nonprofit that aims to provide historical education through reenactments, battles and recreation of period arts, crafts and culture, generally at events open to the public.
Matute said Debbie traveled all over the country for events.
In that world, she went by the name Catalina, and her heraldry was a black bear on a green shield-shaped field, with white scalloping at the top. On an unofficial Markland Facebook discussion page, fellow members have shared favorite memories of her: teaching someone to properly shoot a bow and arrow, making sure people drank enough water while they fought their battles, greeting friends with warm hugs.
SeparateCzechs: Sounds like they were just poly. I wonder if he was also putting bruises on his wife.JessieAtHome initially came into the discussion raging in defense of Luis that they knew him, he was a great guy, he would never do such a thing and they returned to apologize to the group:
TeaTimeBitxh: I'm not sure how poly they were. Debbie seemed to be a secret as far as I can tell form his friends posts.
SeparateCzechs: Ah damn. Poor Debbie. Poor Margarita. Poor u/JessieAtHome in this thread.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. He was having an affair with her. She moved to New Windsor 2 years ago to be near him. His wife had no idea. I had no idea. I'm so sorry.And to someone else's kind and supportive response,
Thank you. I've actually known him since he was a squire, and my husband, a knight, was helping him. So there was no hero worship. But I did feel a bit like we helped him through the ranks and took care of him.(So many people betrayed.)
People are also reporting he had a history of domestic violence against his first wife, whose SCA name I do not know (please tell me if you do), and from whom he was divorced. It is being reported that she died earlier this summer by overdose.
