American Idol executive Robin Kaye and her husband are found murdered inside $5million LA mansion

An American Idol executive and her husband have been found murdered inside their $5 million Los Angeles mansion. 

Robin Kaye, an award-winning music supervisor for the hit show, and Thomas Deluca, both 70, were discovered brutally shot to death at their home in Encino on Monday.

Los Angeles Police Department officers were called to the six-bedroom home for a welfare check.

Authorities witnessed blood at the front entrance of the couple’s home before breaking through a window to enter the property, a source told TMZ. 

Their sudden deaths are being investigated as a double homicide, police said. 

Police were previously called to their home on Thursday after a suspect was allegedly trying to break in, the outlet reported. 

According to neighbors, a person, who may have been armed, was spotted hopping a fence on the tree-lined street in the ritzy California neighborhood. 

Police officers were called to the home to conduct a welfare check after neighbors and family had not heard from them in four days. 

Kaye worked as the music supervisor for singing competition American Idol for the last 15 seasons, or 300 episodes, per her IMDB page. 

Over the years, she won several Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for her work on the show. 

She also worked for other well-known shows, including Lip Sync Battle, Hollywood Game Night, and Worn Stories.  

Kaye also worked for the NAACP Image Awards, The Singing Bee, Miss USA, Miss Universe, American Inventor, The Dance Scene, Dance Your A** Off, Your Chance to Dance and Adventures of Power and Crashed. 

During the 7th Annual Guild of Music Supervisors Awards in Hollywood in 2017, Kaye spoke about her career path, which she said was often unappreciated. 

‘It’s one of those parts of the business that people don’t even know it exists,’ Kaye said. 

‘It’s a very important part of films and TV. Pretty much everything in the entertainment industry has music in it and people just think that it’s there.’ 

Her husband was a musician who last released an album called Street Rock in 2022. 

His first ‘acclaimed cult favorite debut’ album. ‘Down To The Wire,’ was released by Epic Records in 1986, Deluca’s website detailed. 

The couple purchased the home in January 2023, according to public records.
