A grim discovery in Encino has left investigators scrambling for clues after American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were found dead in their home. Police are treating the case as a double homicide.
Officers forced entry Monday after spotting blood near the doorway and receiving no response. Both victims died from gunshot wounds, but no suspects have been named. The couple had been unreachable for four days before family requested the welfare check.
The case took a curious turn when police revealed neighbors had reported an attempted break-in days earlier. Witnesses claimed an unidentified person—possibly armed—tried scaling the fence, though officers found no evidence of forced entry. It’s unclear if this incident is connected to the murders.
Kaye’s decades-long career included award-winning work on American Idol and Lip Sync Battle, making her a respected figure in the industry. As detectives scour security footage and neighborhood leads, the community mourns a couple whose lives ended in unexplained violence.
