Key details revealed after American Idol executive and husband found dead in LA home

Fresh details have come to light surrounding the recent deaths of an American Idol executive and her husband.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed that American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas DeLuca died at 4:14 pm on July 10, though their bodies were not discovered until four days later, on July 14, inside their Encino residence.

Raymond Boodarian, 22, was arrested the next day and charged with two counts of murder, including special allegations for using a firearm and targeting multiple victims. He is currently being held without bail.

Kaye and DeLuca were both found with multiple gunshot wounds to the head. According to investigators, a trail of blood was visible outside the home, but officers initially left during the first welfare check on July 10 after finding no signs of forced entry.

When a second call came in on July 14, they entered through a shattered sliding glass door at the back and discovered the bodies, Kaye in the pantry and DeLuca in the bathroom.

Authorities believe the suspect exited through the front door and locked it from the inside after the shooting. The motive has not yet been disclosed.

The killings have drawn shock from both the Los Angeles community and the television industry, where Kaye was known for her work across several music-driven productions, including American Idol.
