'American Idol' Executive and Husband Found Murdered

TMZ also reported that police had responded to the same property on Thursday, after a neighbor said they spotted someone jumping a fence and possibly trying to break in. Officers reportedly found no sign of forced entry at that time.

During an interview with Fox News Digital, Mauro Quintero, who serviced the couple's pool every week, recalled having a conversation with Deluca about another attempted break-in, which he said occurred about a month and a half ago.

"Tom told me that somebody tried to break in, and the dog, he woke up and barked," Quintero said. "So they got up, and I guess they turned the lights on, and the people run away."

Quintero said that Deluca didn't tell him how many people were involved with the attempted break-in but mentioned that the intruders were masked. Deluca told him that they were trying to open the door when they were interrupted.

"At that point [Deluca] put something on the wall so the people don't jump in anymore. I guess he was trying to see if that will save him from another break-in. But I never expect that they got murdered like this."

Guy Cohen from SecureIT Homes told Fox News Digital that the couple contacted the home security company after the first attempted break-in.

While speaking with Fox News Digital, Cohen shared the original estimate that the company provided the couple after visiting the house and explained the options that had been presented to them at the time.

"When we look at a home like this — this is a big property — we like to deploy an early detection system such as infrared beams or a monitored camera system that would help detect and deter and get people off the property before they even touch the house," he said. "That was option one. Option two was to reinforce the windows to make them unbreakable. And then the last thing would be a safe room, so if the burglar gets through all the layers of defense, you have a fallback space to go to."

Cohen said that he met with both Kaye and Deluca, who he described as a "very cordial, nice couple."

Kaye, per IMDb records, worked on "American Idol" for over 15 seasons and won multiple Guild of Music Supervisors Awards. Her résumé also includes "Lip Sync Battle" and other major TV productions.
