Arrest Made in Deaths of `American Idol’ Music Supervisor, Husband in Encino

A 22-year-old man was arrested Tuesday in connection with the deaths of a married couple — including a music supervisor for “American Idol” — inside a posh Encino home.

The bodies were found at about 2:30 p.m. Monday in the 4700 block of White Oak Place during a welfare check prompted by a call from an acquaintance who had not heard from the couple in several days, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The victims were found inside the home with multiple gunshot wounds, police said.

The couple were identified as “American Idol” music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both 70.

An “American Idol” representative confirmed the deaths in a statement saying, “We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing. Robin has been a cornerstone of the `Idol’ family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her. Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.”

On Tuesday afternoon, the LAPD confirmed the arrest of 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian of Encino, who is suspected of killing the pair last Thursday when the couple returned home and discovered the intruder inside. Police said they identified Boodarian through the use of surveillance video from the couple’s home.

A neighbor told reporters Tuesday morning that a renter at her property called 911 last Thursday after seeing somebody jump over the fence around the home.

According to the LAPD, officers responded around 4 p.m. Thursday to the home, but found no immediate signs of an intruder or a burglary. Police said Tuesday surveillance video suggests the suspect entered the residence through an unlocked door, and the victims returned home and found the intruder inside.

LAPD officials said an investigation would be conducted into the initial response to the home last week and why officers did not detect an intruder in the home.
