He also revealed Boodarian called the police with his own cellphone after the crime and used his own name, which helped police track him down.
ABC 7 added that LAPD Deputy Chief Marla Ciuffetelli also spoke with residents, saying, “We’re having phenomenal numbers on crime reduction. That being said, when two wonderful people end up dead in their own home, those crime statistics fall kind of flat.”
TMZ previously reported that surveillance footage shows the suspect entering the couple’s residence through an unlocked door on Thursday, July 10 just 30 minutes before Robin and Thomas arrived home.
Authorities told People magazine, “The victims returned home while the suspect had gained entry into the residence, and a confrontation ensued, which resulted in the suspect taking their lives. The victims succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, and the suspect fled from the residence on foot.”
Their bodies were found during a welfare check on Monday, July 14. According to People magazine, Deluca was located in the bathroom, while Kaye was discovered in the pantry.
