Robin, who had been the music supervisor for “American Idol” for two decades, and her husband were found dead in their Encino home. Both victims, aged 70, were discovered with gunshot wounds, leading to speculation of a double homicide.
Law enforcement officials were called to the scene after concerns were raised about the couple’s well-being. The LAPD confirmed the grim discovery of the two individuals, but their identities have not been officially released. However, TMZ was quick to identify them as Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca, shedding light on the shocking incident.
As the investigation unfolds, the motive behind the killings remains unclear, with no leads on potential suspects. The Valley Homicide Bureau has taken over the case, working tirelessly to bring justice to the victims and their loved ones.
