American Idol Murder: No Motive in Tragic Encino Homicide of Robin Kaye and Husband

In a tragic turn of events in Encino, California, Robin Kaye, a celebrated music supervisor for "American Idol", and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were found murdered in their home on Monday. The couple, both 70, were discovered with multiple gunshot wounds after a welfare check was conducted. The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) has arrested 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian in connection with this double homicide, a crime that, chillingly, appears to be a random act of violence.

LAPD Lieutenant Guy Golan revealed that the suspect was apprehended without incident near Van Owen Street. Despite the arrest, Boodarian has remained silent, offering no statements to investigators. As the case is prepared for the district attorney's office over the next 48 hours, Golan emphasized that no motive has been uncovered. "We have no connection linking the suspect to the victims," he noted, underscoring the unsettling randomness of the attack.

The investigation, still in its early stages, relies heavily on surveillance footage and forensic evidence, which helped identify Boodarian. However, many questions remain unanswered—how the suspect arrived at the scene, whether anything was taken from the fortified mansion, and why this tragedy occurred. While there are no overt signs of burglary, detectives haven’t ruled out the possibility of theft. Golan assured the public that the suspect is in custody, providing a small measure of relief in an otherwise shaken community. "Random acts like this are terrifying because they could happen to anyone," he admitted.

Robin Kaye’s legacy in the entertainment industry is profound, having worked on "American Idol" for over 15 seasons and earning multiple awards for her contributions. Her loss, alongside her husband’s, leaves a void felt far beyond their Encino neighborhood. As the LAPD continues to piece together this heartbreaking puzzle, the community waits for answers—and justice.
