Suspect Charged in 'Idol' Supervisor Double Murder

News summary

Robin Kaye, a longtime 'American Idol' music supervisor, and her husband Thomas Deluca were killed during a home invasion in their Encino, Los Angeles home on July 10, with their bodies discovered four days later after a welfare check. Police had responded to a burglary report at the property on the day of the murders but did not enter the secured home, potentially missing the suspect, Raymond Boodarian, who may have still been inside. Boodarian, 22, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and one count of residential burglary, along with special allegations of multiple murders and murder during a burglary; he is being held without bail pending a decision on the death penalty. Surveillance footage and a handgun found at Boodarian's residence linked him to the crime. The case has raised concerns about the adequacy of the initial police response and highlighted issues surrounding home security and repeat offenders' mental health. The murders have deeply affected both the television industry and local community.
