The deaths of Robin Kaye, the well-known music supervisor for American Idol, and her husband, Thomas Deluca, are being looked investigated by the police. They are being looked into as a double murder. The LAPD ran a welfare check on Monday and found the couple at their Encino home.
Officials said that when the cops got to the house, they saw blood near the front entrance. They broke a window to get in because they couldn’t get in touch with anyone inside. They found Robin and Thomas dead inside, apparently from gunshot wounds.
They reported the two were deceased at the scene. The police think it was a double murder, but they don’t have a lot of details and haven’t arrested anyone yet.
Family members are said to have asked for a welfare check after not hearing from the pair for four days. It’s not clear who called. The cops alerted the neighbors about the lack of communication throughout the visit.
It has only been a few days since the surprise find. Last Thursday, someone called the police to claim they observed a suspect trying to get in. TMZ stated that someone who wasn’t known was seen trying to get in and might have had a gun.
People who lived nearby called the police to say they witnessed someone jump the fence. The police came and looked around, but they didn’t uncover any signs of forced entry. There was also a police helicopter that flew over the area, but it didn’t see anything.
We don’t know yet if the event on Thursday has anything to do with the couple’s murder. No one has been detained yet, but investigators are checking at evidence from security cameras right now. It’s interesting that the house doesn’t look like it was broken into.
Robin Kaye worked on television for a long time and was quite successful. According to her IMDb page, she was the music supervisor on American Idol for at least 15 seasons. She also won multiple times at the Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for her work on the show. Sky News states that she has also been the music coordinator for Lip Sync Battle and other notable shows.
A lot of people in the entertainment business are still startled by her death. Kaye helped shape the sound of some of the most successful music shows on TV in the last few years. People knew her for having a good ear and being creative.
As the investigation carries on, the police want anyone who knows anything to come forward. Family and friends are mourning a horrible loss and looking for answers right now.
