Before turning the spotlight to a fresh pack of “American Idol” hopefuls, Monday’s premiere began with a poignant tribute, officially dedicating Season 24 to Robin Kaye.
Kaye, who worked as a music supervisor on “American Idol” from 2009 to 2023, was murdered alongside husband Thomas Deluca on July 10, 2025. The couple, whose bodies were discovered four days later, died from multiple gunshot wounds, according to their death certificates. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman called the incident a “senseless” killing, which occurred shortly after Kaye and Deluca returned home from the grocery store.
A 22-year-old man named Raymond Boodarian was charged with their murders that same month.
