‘American Idol’ Rocked by Shocking Double Murder Involving Music Supervisor and Her Husband

A behind-the-scenes tragedy at American Idol has plunged the show into mourning.

Robin Kaye – Idol‘s music supervisor – and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both 70, were found shot to death in their Los Angeles home on July 14, authorities said. Responding officers found the victims dead with multiple gunshot wounds, including to the head, per New York Post.

In an “exceptinally tragic” twist, police said, the suspect — 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, who was arrested on July 15 — allegedly used the victims’ own gun to kill them.

He’s accused of scaling a fence and entering the couple’s home through an unlocked door. “When the homeowners returned back to their residence, a violent struggle ensued between them and the suspect, which resulted in the victims tragically losing their lives,” said Lt. Guy Golan.

Boodarian has since been charged with two counts of murder and a count of residential burglary, with the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders and murder during the commission of burglary, the district attorney’s office said.

At press time he had not yet entered a plea to the charges.

In a statement, a spokesperson for American Idol called Robin “a cornerstone of the Idol family. She was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her.”
