‘American Idol’ music supervisor’s home targeted weeks before deadly burglary

“American Idol” music supervisor Robin Kaye’s multimillion-dollar home was targeted in the weeks before authorities say the award-winner and her husband, musician Thomas Deluca, were fatally shot during a burglary at the Southern California residence.

The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating whether the previous incident is related to the deaths of Kaye and Deluca, who are believed to have been fatally shot last Thursday when they arrived home in the midst of a theft, ABC7 Los Angeles reports.

The couple’s pool cleaner, Mauro Quintero, told the outlet that the Encino home was broken into “more than a month ago,” though the burglars were scared off when Deluca was awoken by his barking dogs.

Raymond Boodarian, 22, who has a criminal record, was arrested Tuesday afternoon for the slaying of Kaye and Deluca, to whom he is not believed to have any connection.

LAPD on Tuesday confirmed to the Daily News that during a welfare check the prior afternoon, they found a deceased male and female with multiple gunshot wounds. TMZ identified the victims.

Authorities also responded to the residence on July 10 when they received calls about an armed intruder, KABC reports. They left when neither on-the-ground officers — who had trouble accessing the supposedly secure home — nor helicopters detected signs of a burglary.

Authorities say security footage from the home Thursday afternoon shows the suspect entering the residence, where he was for an estimated half hour before Kaye and Deluca returned home and were gunned down in the surprise confrontation.

It remains unclear whether the suspect stole anything from the home, which LAPD say was not looted.
