Startling revelation in American Idol exec's murder: Robin Kaye, husband dead for 4 days, cops didn't enter house

In a startling revelation in the mysterious murder case of American Idol executive Robin Kaye, and her husband, Thomas Deluca, it has now been found that they lay dead for at least four days inside their Los Angeles home after suffering multiple gunshots when they probably stopped a burglar. The burglary was reported and police came to the house but never went inside the property.

Authorities received a burglary complaint on July 10, but never actually went inside the property, as there were no noticeable signs of forced entry. The suspect, identified as Raymond Boodarian, 22, might have been inside the house when the police officers initially visited the property.

“A confrontation ensued, which resulted in the suspect taking their lives,” the LAPD said, explaining the scenario that might have unfolded before the shooting, while it remains unclear when exactly the couple died or whether they were still alive when authorities first visited the home that day.

Officers carried out a welfare check at the property on Monday, which is when they discovered the bodies. Kaye was found in the pantry, and Deluca was in the bathroom, both with multiple gunshot wounds to the head.

Authorities discovered a trail of blood leading to the front of the property and entered the home through a shattered glass sliding door at the back, as the front door was locked.

Boodarian was arrested without incident on July 15. He was formally charged with two counts of murder as well as one count of residential burglary involving a person on July 17. The murder charges carry special circumstance allegations, including multiple murders and committing murder during a burglary, along with firearm allegations.

Boodarian was previously accused of threatening his family. “I know at one time he tried stabbing his mom, I believe, or got violent with a knife,” a neighbour of Booadarian was quoted as saying by Fox News. “I just know he was troubled. I know he was on medication, on and off medication… he needed help,” the neighbour added.

Kaye previously expressed concerns about rising burglaries in the neighborhood and sought additional security measures, as per Kris Herzog, a former police officer.

Kaye worked on around 300 episodes of “American Idol” between 2009 to 2023. Her other works also include The Singing Bee, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as multiple Miss Universe Specials.
