Overview
- Raymond Boodarian, 22, did not enter a plea as the judge suspended the case, ordered him held without bail, and set a Sept. 3 hearing in mental health court.
- He is charged with two counts of murder and one count of residential burglary with special circumstances in the July 10 killings of Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca.
- In court, Boodarian appeared unresponsive and wore a suicide-prevention gown, with his public defender stating he has severe mental health issues.
- Investigators cite surveillance video showing a suspect scaling the couple’s fence at 4:06 p.m., the victims arriving at 4:43 p.m., and the suspect leaving about 10 minutes later concealing a handgun.
- Authorities say the couple were shot with a gun from their home; police had responded to a burglary call that day but did not enter, and the bodies were discovered four days later during a welfare check.
