An
“American Idol” spokesperson confirmed the deaths of Robin Kaye
and her husband, Thomas Deluca, both 70. The couple owned their
home, according to public records.
“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,” an “American Idol” spokesperson said in a statement.
“Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our
deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this
difficult time.”
Los Angeles police said Tuesday afternoon they arrested
22-year-old Raymond Boodarian in connection with the couple’s
deaths.
Boodarian was allegedly burglarizing their home while the couple
was away July 10. He is accused of shooting and killing Kaye and
her husband when they returned and then fleeing on foot.
Boodarian has not yet been assigned a public defender and could
not be reached for comment.
Police responded that same afternoon to reports of a burglary at
the Encino home, but said in a press release there were “no
signs of forced entry or trouble.”
Kaye, an industry veteran, has also worked in the music
departments of several other productions such as “The Singing
Bee,” "Hollywood Game Night," “Lip Sync Battle,” and several
Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.
