'American Idol' music supervisor and husband found shot dead in LA home

Officers responding to the calls that day were unable to go into the home because it is highly fortified, with 8-foot walls with spikes, police sources said earlier. Police flew a helicopter over and saw no signs of a burglary or of any other trouble and left, the official said.

However, surveillance footage later reviewed by police showed the suspect scaling the fence and then apparently entering an unlocked door, Golan said. The victims arrived home about 30 minutes later, he said.

A friend of the victims called police on Monday for a welfare check, Golan said. Responding officers saw blood on the porch and broke a window to get inside where they found the victims with multiple gunshot wounds. They both had gunshot wounds to the head, police said earlier.

The motive remains unclear, Golan said. He said the house did not appear to be ransacked.

"We're looking into multiple avenues on what the motive may be," he said.

Police do not believe Boodarian knew the victims and said Boodarian is not a suspect in any other burglaries, police sources said earlier.

There is no camera footage from inside the house that shows what went on, the lieutenant said.

The LAPD will look into how police responded to the initial burglary call last week to make sure it was handled appropriately, he said.

Kaye had been with the TV show "American Idol" since 2009, according to a spokesperson for the ABC singing competition series.

Dayum. Tragic. I’m guessing they had the doors unlock because ringcam or alarm system would have triggered. Stuff like this be making me think want the death penalty. Imagine just shopping at the mall, running errands, and you come back to this maniac who probably has the iq of a peanut. They’ll shout you for a couple hundreds and fkin smartphone. Omg.

I doubt the death penalty would make the slightest bit of difference.

Actually, there is something very hinky here. A place that looks all sealed up and hard to get into and likely to have all sorts of security is picked at random by some very amateur burglar, who then hangs around until the couple happens to come home? I don't know. Something seems very odd and not just random here.

Meh. She wasnt involved in the good seasons of Idol.

That's insane!

So this is what is has come to, for rich people in Los Angeles.

Building walled in fortresses that are highly fortified with incredibly high walls and spikes on top.

It sounds medieval.

The cops were unable to get in...but some 22 year old had no problem busting in undetected. Sure Jan.

Yet an intruder had no trouble getting in.

Perp...

AND the door was unlocked.

I find that to be the most suspicious thing of all.

Is that really him, R8?

He looks 12, not 22.

That's what I was gonna post ! Lol

Looks like a baby

Okay, so not to be all DL junior detective, but this ain't working for me. So blood on the porch, not just inside where the couple was shot (in the head, execution style?), but on the porch like they just showed up and a panicked burglar shot them right then and there. Except, nope, they still went inside and got shot there. And it's not like the burglar fled the scene, leaving the door open behind him. Nope, police had to break a window to get inside.

I need answers, people, and I want them on my desk by tomorrow morning!

R8 R10 The photo is from an old FB profile page and was posted in 2013. The kid was probably 10 at the time. May not be the same person as the perp.

Great r13. Good to know goobers are plastering it all over the Internet then.

He looks like he could be cute at 23. Not guilty.

I know there are expensive houses in Encino. The Jackson family compound was or is there. Maybe because of the Pauly Shore movie I just think of it as really boring looking and middle to upper middle class.

Most burglars choosing a random house to steal from don’t commit double murder the moment they encounter the residents. Police say the house didn’t look ransacked. Sounds like maybe it was a hit.

Encino is actually in a great location.

But I agree, "Encino Man" really did the neighborhood no favors. The movie made it sound cheap and tacky.

However, Encino is very central to everything.

Adjacent to Beverly Hills, and close to Downtown L.A., Hollywood, Pasadena, Calabasas, and Burbank.

I'd love to live there, but could never afford it.

Moon Unit Zappa didn't do Encino any favors either:

My name is Ondrya Wolfson (Valley girl)

Uh-huh, that's right, Ondrya (Valley girl)

Uh-huh, I know, it's like (Valley girl)

I do not talk funny, I am sure (Valley girl)

What's'a matter with the way I talk? (Valley girl)

I am a val, I know (Valley girl)

But I live in, like In a really good part of Encino

So it's okay (Valley girl, valley girl)

But Encion IS very tacky and boring. Suburban sprawl mostly of tacky 70's cheaply built ranch style houses.

Adjacent to Beverly Hills? Since when did being on the other side of a mountain qualify as adjacent?

Oh, DL, don't ever change.

Double murder? Well, yeah, but the important thing is how tacky Encino is. Honestly, are we sure he wasn't doing them a favor, really?

Who are the beneficiaries of their estate?

He looks. Like a quite youthful 70 years old.

You're right, R23.

Not bad for 70.

Are the turtle and parrot OK?

I'm thinking disgruntled employee

Robin Kaye contacted a private security firm recently, fearing someone around the neighborhood that she & her husband felt was suspicious or behaving suspiciously. (there was also an attempted break-in in May). This report from KNBC states that the suspect Raymond Boodarian is an Encino resident...but he was arrested at his apartment in Reseda, so I'm not sure what that's about. Maybe his parents live in Encino near Kaye's house. Sounds like he's a junkie according to his apartment neighbors (link in next post).

As cute as he is, or was at 13, living in Reseda automatically makes him guilty. Gross!

It's a long day livin' in Reseda

Can't they just build a wall with spikes, between Reseda and Encino?
