A CLOSE family friend has revealed disturbing details about the shooting deaths of American Idol executive Robin Kaye and her husband.
Kaye and Thomas Deluca, both 70, were found dead inside their $4.5 million Los Angeles, California, mansion on Monday afternoon.

They both had shooting wounds to the head, and suspect Raymond Boodarian, 22, has been arrested and accused of killing them.
Cops said the accused murderer was inside their home for 30 minutes before the couple walked in and accidentally confronted him.
It’s been revealed that the successful couple had a break-in on May 19 just weeks before their deaths, and desperately tried to crack down on security.
They reportedly spoke to a bodyguard service and security consultant to try and get peace of mind after their home in Encino was targeted.
One friend, who didn’t give his name, said the couple “added spikes” to the top of the six-foot fence protecting their property, he told Fox News.
“They had spikes on the other side of the fence, and obviously updated their video surveillance as well,” he said.
“They had video surveillance already.”
Kaye, who headed up the music department for American Idol, and Deluca, who was a successful songwriter, were remembered as friendly people who had no enemies, according to the friend.
They had “moved to Encino because they wanted to be safe,” he said.
“They were living life to the fullest. They traveled a lot. They have some great animals,” the friend explained.
“They have a turtle that they found at their first house they bought when they moved to LA, and they’ve taken their turtle with them every place.”
The friend said the couple felt confident that the intruder wouldn’t “be back” after imposing the new measures.
‘VERY SHAKEN’
Guy Cohen, a security consultant who works with SecureIT Homes, said that he worked with Kaye and Deluca after the break-in.
He said a burglar had shattered the home’s glass back door and was confronted by Kaye, who screamed when she saw the intruder.
The intruder ran away after the music executive saw him, Cohen told Fox News.
“Obviously they’re very shaken and they were looking for solution,” he said.
“They came to us and we were there to consult them […] help them through the situation.”
SecureIT was planning on installing shatter-resistant window film, an early detection system around their home, and a custom-built panic room in Kaye’s closet this month, Cohen said.
“Unfortunately, we couldn’t get there in time and they still have their original systems in place,” he said.
The couple’s close friend has remembered them as “very talented” and said that Kaye “excelled in her job.”
“They’re just really wonderful people,” he said.
