'American Idol' murder: police suggest no motive for home invasion suspect who gunned down exec, husband
Print Close By Stephanie Giang-Paunon, Larry Fink Published July 16, 2025 ENCINO, Calif. – The Los Angeles Police Department is continuing their investigation into the harrowing murders of Robin Kaye, a longtime "American Idol " music supervisor, and her husband, Thomas Deluca, after they were found dead inside their home on Monday. LAPD Lieutenant Guy Golan provided an update to Fox News Digital on the next steps in the investigation after the suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian, was arrested for double homicide – crimes that at this point in the investigation appear to be random. "He was arrested from his place of residence. Over near the 19,000 block of Van Owen Street. He was arrested without incident," Golan told Fox News Digital. 'AMERICAN IDOL' MUSIC BOSS ROBIN KAYE AND HUSBAND FOUND MURDERED IN THEIR LA HOME "He did not provide any statements at this time, and investigators plan on filing charges for murder against him." Golan explained that his team is now putting the case together over the next 48 hours to present it to the district attorney's office for further consideration. "We're still investigating any possible motive. Right now, we have no connection linking the suspect with the victims," Golan added. Golan pointed out that the suspect was identified through surveillance video, as well as forensic evidence that was at the scene that police had "expedited analysis" on. Since investigators only had the evidence for "about 26 hours," according to Golan, officers still have to do the "canvassing legwork for additional witnesses" and look through "additional surveillance video." BRAD PITT'S LOS ANGELES HOME RANSACKED BY THREE SUSPECTS WHO BROKE IN THROUGH FRONT WINDOW "We still don't know if the suspect drove to the scene or if he walked or if he took a bus or an Uber… we have a lot of legwork to show the suspect being at the residence, other than simply surveillance video that we recovered from the house. And we have the next 48 hours to do that," Golan told Fox News Digital. WATCH: LAPD LIEUTENANT GUY GOLAN SAYS THE MOTIVE IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN AFTER ROBIN KAYE AND HER HUSBAND WERE FOUND MURDERED IN THEIR LA HOME LAPD officials said the double homicide of Kaye and Deluca, who were found with multiple gunshot wounds, appeared to be a random act of violence. While the motive remains unclear, authorities are continuing to work on piecing together what led to the fatal encounter. Golan emphasized that although detectives are still in the early stages of the investigation, there's currently no indication the victims were targeted. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING?

While the murders may have shaken up the Los Angeles community, Golan added one bit of reassurance – that the suspect, Boodarian, is currently behind bars. WATCH: ROBIN KAYE AND HER HUSBAND'S POOL CLEANER, MAURO QUINTERO, DETAILS A PREVIOUS BREAK-IN ATTEMPT ON HOME "The one silver lining [is] that we were able to take [the suspect] into custody in an expeditious manner. But nobody ever likes hearing about something happening completely unprompted again. We're going to get to the bottom of what happened and why it happened," Golan concluded. Kaye and Deluca, were found dead inside their home after officers responded to a call around 2:30 p.m. on July 14 for a welfare check in the 4700 block of White Oak Avenue in Encino. Both victims were 70.

During a news conference yesterday, Golan shared that Kaye and Deluca's Los Angeles mansion is "fortified." WATCH: LAPD LT. GUY GOLAN PROVIDES UPDATE ON THE MURDERS OF AN 'AMERICAN IDOL' EXECUTIVE AND HER HUSBAND "It has seven, eight-foot-high walls with metal spikes that are welded onto the tips of the walls there. The vehicle gate was closed, also spiked. They had no means of entering via gate code like they did on the date of the welfare check." "They did request a flyover by our airship, which did happen. There were no signs of forced entry during this flyover. And again, that the suspect entered the property without force and entry," he continued. "There were no signs of burglary. And regarding what evidence there was in the front porch, it was not visible by air due to the foyer having a kind of cover over it there at the front of the house. So the airship was not able to see what the officers observed during the welfare check." Kaye, per IMDb records, worked on "American Idol" for over 15 seasons and won multiple Guild of Music Supervisors Awards. Her résumé also includes "Lip Sync Battle" and other major TV productions.

Breanna Nix's ‘American Idol' Consolation Prize: A Billboard No. 1
Breanna Nix's 'Higher' debuts at No. 1 on the Christian Digital Song Sales chart after her American ... More Idol season 23 third-place finish. AMERICAN IDOL - "818 (Disney Night #2)" "Disney Night" continues with heroes, villains and a special appearance by Lin-Manuel Miranda. The Top 5 travel to Disneyland Resort and perform twice as America votes live for the three heading to the finale. MONDAY, MAY 12 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT) on ABC. (Disney/Christopher Willard) BREANNA NIX (Photo by Christopher Willard/Disney via Getty Images) The latest season of American Idol, which concluded on May 18, was one of the most exciting in recent memory. Several of the top contestants ended up releasing tracks that immediately became bestselling hits following the show's conclusion. Some years, only the winner manages to make any impact on the Billboard charts — and there have been times when even that doesn't happen. Season 23 was so chock-full of talent that even the singer who came in third place has managed to reach No. 1 on a chart in the United States. Breanna Nix finished in third this season, ending up behind runner-up John Foster and ultimate winner Jamal Roberts. While she didn't take the crown, Nix does reach a number of Billboard rankings with her solo single "Higher," which has become a strong seller and demonstrates that — even without a win — there may be a market for her voice following the conclusion of the show. "Higher" debuts at No. 1 on the Christian Digital Song Sales chart this week. It marks Nix's first leader on a Billboard tally. The tune replaces "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake, which has turned out to be not just a winner on the Christian charts, but also a crossover success — one that has placed on Billboard's rock rankings and risen high on the Hot 100 as well. Nix's tune sold well enough to reach not just the Christian Digital Song Sales chart, but also the all-genre Digital Song Sales ranking. On that roster, it opens at No. 4, thanks to a little under 4,700 pure purchases (per Luminate). Sales powered "Higher" onto one of Billboard's consumption-based rankings as well. The tune lands at No. 40 on the Hot Christian Songs ranking, which lists the most popular tracks in that style by blending pure purchases, streaming activity, and radio airplay. Since she's a brand new artist with minimal promotional might, it seems that sales are largely to thank for "Higher" becoming a top 40 hit on the Christian-only tally.

How Will Disney Stock Respond To Its Upcoming Earnings?
AMERICAN IDOL - "812 (Top 14 Reveal)" - The Top 14 are revealed as the finalists return to the stage ... More with powerful, emotional live performances from Hollywood. MONDAY, APRIL 21 (8:00-10:01 p.m. EDT) on ABC. (Disney/Eric McCandless) GABBY SAMONE, MATTIE PRUITT, JOHN FOSTER, BREANNA NIX, JAMAL ROBERTS, SLATER NALLEY, THUNDERSTORM ARTIS (Photo by Eric McCandless/Disney via Getty Images) Disney via Getty Images Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) is scheduled to announce its earnings on May 7, 2025. Consensus estimates suggest that revenues will increase by approximately 5% year-over-year to $23.1 billion, with earnings expected to be $1.21 per share, remaining roughly unchanged from the previous year. We anticipate that the company's Experiences division, which includes Disney's parks, resorts, and cruise lines, will encounter some challenges due to decreased tourism in the U.S. and the fading of the post-Covid-19 surge. Nevertheless, the Direct-to-Consumer media segment may perform well, fueled by additional user growth and improved pricing per user. However, investors are expected to pay closer attention to Disney's future outlook. Newly implemented tariffs by the Trump administration have heightened the likelihood of a U.S. recession this year. Almost all of Disney's activities – spanning theme parks, cruises, video streaming, and TV advertising – rely on discretionary spending, which may decline during an economic downturn. Disney boasts a current market capitalization of $165 billion. Over the last twelve months, revenue amounted to $93 billion, and the company was operationally profitable, recording $13 billion in operating profits and a net income of $5.6 billion. Hence, if you are looking for potential upside with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High-Quality portfolio offers a viable alternative, having outperformed the S&P 500 and yielding returns exceeding 91% since its inception.

DIS 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return Trefis A comparatively less risky approach (although not beneficial if the correlation is weak) is to analyze the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings, identifying the pair with the highest correlation, and making the corresponding trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D indicate the highest correlation, a trader might position themselves 'long' for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is favorable. Here are some correlation figures based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) data. Please note that the correlation 1D_5D pertains to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and subsequent 5D returns. DIS Relationship Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns Trefis At times, the performance of peers can impact post-earnings stock reactions. In fact, the pricing-in might start before the earnings are disclosed. Below is historical data on the prior post-earnings performance of Walt Disney stock in comparison to the stock performance of peers that announced earnings immediately before Walt Disney. For a fair assessment, peer stock returns also reflect post-earnings one-day (1D) returns.
