Encino, CA (91436) Tragedy Unfolded: Police Responded Twice to 911 – But Bodies of “American Idol” Exec and Husband Discovered 4 Days Later – EXCLUSIVE

Encino, CA 91436 – An urgent and unsettling story has come to light in Encino, Los Angeles: on July 10, two separate 911 calls reported suspicious activity — the second specifically mentioning an armed intruder — at the home of “American Idol” music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca. Although LAPD responded both times, they did not enter the property, citing no visible signs of forced entry. Their bodies, tragically, were not found until July 14, after a welfare check by a concerned friend. Meanwhile, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, a neighbor, has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder, along with burglary and special circumstances. This shocking timeline and law enforcement response have ignited a public debate over police protocols and safety in affluent neighborhoods.

Hyperlocal Impact

1. Precise Location:
   Encino, CA 91436 – White Oak Avenue, near the Naval Officer Housing Complex

2. Community Connection:
   “We heard helicopter circling twice, then silence.”
   – Maria Lopez, neighbor who saw police activity

For two long hours on July 10, LAPD officers and Air 16, their helicopter unit, surrounded the Kaye‑Deluca estate after receiving the first burglary call—reporting someone scaling the fence. They remained outside, “clear[ing] from the scene” when they saw no forced entry or signs of distress. The second call later that day escalated the situation, but still no forced entry was noted, and the heavily fortified home—complete with eight-foot walls—stayed sealed. It wasn’t until July 14 when a worried friend requested a welfare check, prompting law enforcement to finally enter—and uncover the grim scene that had remained hidden for four days.

Exclusive Angle

• WHY THIS MATTERS NOW:
  This heartbreaking case arrives amidst widespread criticism of LAPD protocols, particularly the policy that officers won’t enter homes without “overwhelming probable cause.” Security expert Kris Herzog told People this approach prioritizes legal safety over immediate public protection.
