In a disturbing turn of events, a man has been charged with the double homicide of an 'American Idol' executive and her husband. The accused, identified as Raymond Boodarian, reportedly used the couple's firearm to commit the murders and subsequently alerted authorities himself. Despite an initial police visit to the victims' residence following a 911 call about a possible burglary, the bodies of Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca were discovered only four days later during a welfare check.

The couple was found shot to death in their Encino home, shocking the Los Angeles community and leaving friends and family in despair. At a recent town hall meeting, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman confirmed that Boodarian made the 911 call himself, suggesting an unexpected return by the couple led to the deadly encounter. Boodarian's legal representation has yet to comment on the charges.

Kaye served as a dedicated member of the 'American Idol' team for over 15 years, contributing to the success of the television series and other notable productions. Her tragic death has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry, where she was lauded for her extensive work. The case continues to develop as the community grapples with this senseless loss.
