Robin Kaye/Facebook; TMZ/BACKGRID The intruder accused of killingAmerican Idolmusic supervisorRobin Kayeand her husband, rock musicianThomas Deluca, allegedly called 911 from inside their Encino, Calif., home on July 10 after shooting them with their own gun, the District Attorney's officeconfirmedto PEOPLE. Despite the call, it took authorities four days to discover their bodies on July 14. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman revealed the new details on Monday, July 21,during a town hall meeting in Encino, where hundreds of residents gathered to voice frustration about a rise in home burglaries across the neighborhood. According to investigators, 22-year-oldRaymond Boodarianwas burglarizing Kaye and Deluca's $4.5 million home on White Oak Avenue on July 10 when the couple unexpectedly returned. Police believe that after the couple walked in, "a confrontation ensued" and Boodarian shot them both multiple times in the head with a firearm he had found inside their home. Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times/Getty He was believed to have entered the home, which is heavily secured, with an eight-foot barrier and security cameras, through an unlocked door, police said. Despite a pair of 911 callson July 10 — including one allegedly made by Boodarian himself from inside the house on his cell phone — officers were unable to access the property and left the scene without discovering the victims. A search warrant affidavit filed by LAPD detectives from the San Fernando Valley homicide unit claims officers responded to two separate calls from the home on July 10. The first came in at 4:10 p.m., when a neighbor reported seeing an unidentified man attempting to break in. The first dispatcher audio came two minutes later on July 10, which was a routine burglary report. The audio recordings reveal there was a potential robbery as a neighbor reported "an unknown man with a tan complexion" had hopped over a fence at the couple's home. Moments later, a police airship known asAir 16 responded to the call and arrived at the scene, hovering over the property. At around 4:16 p.m., the flight officer radioed dispatch: "Can you call back PR [person reporting], see if they still have eyes on?" Two minutes later, at roughly 4:18 p.m., the officer followed up: "I don't have any evidence of forced break-in. We're clear." "Air 16 clear," the dispatcher confirmed seconds later. Jennifer Forkish, LAPD communications director, told PEOPLE that the neighboring resident who reported the potential burglary was unable to be reached during attempts to follow up. About 40 minutes later, a second 911 call came from someone inside the home at 4:50 p.m., identifying themselves as a resident and reporting a break-in, according to the affidavit. Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times/Getty The probable cause statement in the affidavit claims the 911 operator heard the caller say, "Please don't shoot me," before officers were dispatched to the home. According to District Attorney Hochman, Boodarian identified himself with his real name to police in that phone call. Forkish confirmed to PEOPLE that the caller ultimately advised that a police response was not necessary. "Follow-up attempts to reach the caller were unsuccessful," she said. All units arrived shortly before 5:00 p.m., according to dispatcher audio. At that time, Air 16 was called in again to survey the scene from above. However, officers reported that the helicopter did not observe anything suspicious. They cleared the area approximately seven minutes later, at around 5:07 p.m. According to LAPD officials, the home's front door was not visible from the outside during the initial response. The residence was heavily secured, with a locked perimeter and gated entry. "Responding units from West Valley Division and LAPD Air Support Division responded to both calls, which were ultimately linked based on the address. Officers arrived on scene and conducted a check of the surrounding area and attempted to visually check the residence through the security gate," said Forkish. "They attempted entry at two access points but both were locked and secured. The home was secured with surrounding walls. The Air Ship visually checked the location and advised there was no visible activity or evidence of a break-in. After taking additional steps to contact the persons reporting and residents at the location, officers cleared from the scene." It wasn'tuntil four days later that officers discovered the bodiesof Kaye and Deluca, after police responded to a welfare check at the couple's home at 2:30 p.m. Officers were met by the person reporting — a friend of the victim who said she had not heard from the residents for several days and was worried. "She happened to have a key code to the vehicle gate, so she gave officers access to the residence," said LAPD Lt. Guy Golan. "When [the police] were in the yard of the residence, they observed some signs of trouble, they breached one of the glass windows, went inside the residence and found both of the victims deceased." Police have since filed a warrant to review doorbell surveillance footage from two neighboring homes, aiming to determine whether it captured the break-in or the killings of the two victims. TMZ/BACKGRID The following day, on July 15, the LAPD and FBI task force officersarrested Boodarian, 22, in connection with the killings. Investigators tell PEOPLE theyare still working to determine whether the suspect had any prior connection to the couple or if he had been involved in previous calls for service at the residence. However, records show Boodarian lives roughly four miles away from the couple's home. The case still remains an active investigation. Boodarian was charged two dayslater on July 17,with two counts of murder, as well as one count of residential burglary. The murder charges include the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder during the commission of a burglary, as well as firearm allegations. He is being held without bail awaiting his next court date on Aug. 20. Addressing the crowd Monday,according to theLos Angeles Times, Hochman called the murders deeply personal. "The government owes you one thing and that's safety," he said. "Robin and Tom didn't experience safety that night. Safety failed them." Read the original article onPeople
