Arrest Made in Double Murder of American Idol Supervisor, Husband in Encino

Robin Kaye, a longtime award-winning music supervisor for American Idol, and her husband, musician Thomas Deluca, were found fatally shot in their Encino home, in what authorities are treating as a double homicide. The couple was discovered during a welfare check after they had not been heard from for several days, with Kaye found in the pantry and Deluca in the bathroom, each with gunshot wounds to the head. Police believe the killings occurred after the couple confronted a suspect who had gained entry into their home, possibly through an unlocked door or a broken sliding glass door, although the home showed no signs of ransacking. Law enforcement has arrested Raymond Boodarian, 22, in connection with the killings, but the motive remains unclear, and the case continues to be investigated. Kaye was a respected figure in the entertainment industry, having worked on American Idol for 15 seasons and earning multiple Guild of Music Supervisors Awards, as well as contributing to other major shows like Lip Sync Battle and Miss Universe. The tragedy has deeply affected the American Idol community, with spokespeople expressing devastation over the loss of Kaye and her husband.
