The tragic deaths of “American Idol” executive Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, in their Encino home left the entertainment industry reeling—and has led many residents of the luxurious community to raise concerns about the safety of their once-secure neighborhood.
Those fears were heightened even more after it was revealed that the couple had themselves expressed fears about rising crime in their neighborhood during a community meeting that was attended by the Los Angeles Police Department.
One day after Kaye and Deluca were found dead inside their $5 million home, police arrested a suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, who is accused of using the couple’s own gun to kill them.
