The charges were dismissed as a judge ruled him to be mentally incompetent.
Cops believe Kaye and Deluca were killed on July 10 before their bodies were found days later.
Boodarian allegedly scaled a fence and broke into the property via a sliding door that was unlocked.
He was inside the property before Kaye and Deluca returned 30 minutes later.
Kaye and Deluca were shot several times and Boodarian fled the scene on foot.
Cops smashed a window to get into the home and they found blood spatters on the porch.
Cops were dispatched to the area to probe a string of burglary calls on July 9, 10, and 11, as reported by the CBS affiliate
An incident was reported on July 10, prompting officers to be dispatched at around 4pm.
Cops couldn't get into the home because the gate was closed.
Police flew a helicopter over the home but didn't see anything suspicious.
Cops left the area shortly after 4:17pm.
'RANDOM' ATTACK
Guy Golan, a Los Angeles Police Department lieutenant, said the shootings appear to be random.
'As scary as it sounds, it does appear to be a random attack,' he told KCAL.
Tributes were paid to Kaye, a veteran American Idol supervisor, after she was named as one of the victims.
Didi Benami, an ex-contestant, said she was left heartbroken.
Benami finished in tenth place on the ninth season of American Idol.
'Still in disbelief and trying to make sense of it all,' she wrote on
'Some souls leave a light behind even after they're gone. Robin, you are so loved. Always will be.
'Honoring the light, kindness, and joy you brought into this world. May your memory—and the love you gave—never be forgotten.'

Pensioner fatally injured was 'character, with heart of gold', funeral told

A pensioner fatally injured outside his home last week had a 'heart of gold', and was funny 'loyal and kind', his funeral mass heard, Friday. Michael 'Mikey' Hayes, (72), died after he was found with critical injuries outside his home at St Michael's Court, Watergate, Limerick, last Thursday week, July 10. Phillip Ambrose, (43), of no fixed abode, was charged with Mr Hayes's murder before a special night-time sitting of Limerick District Court, last Saturday. Shortly before 11am, a coffin carrying Mr Hayes's remains was shouldered by loved ones into St John's Cathedral, Limerick City where his funeral mass was held. Retired Irish army and United Nations soldiers, dressed in uniform, performed a guard of honour as Mr Hayes's coffin, draped in the tricolour, was brought inside the cathedral. In an emotional tribute, one of Mr Hayes's four sons, told mourners: 'Mike brought smiles, he told stories, he made memories, but behind the craic and the spoofs, was a man with a heart of gold.' Tributes have poured for Michael Hayes from Limerick (Image: Facebook) 'He would help anybody - No hesitation, no questions asked. If you needed him, he was there, that kind of loyalty and kindness is rare, and he gave it so freely.' 'He loved the drink, a laugh and being around people. More than that, he loved his family, his friends and his community, and we loved him deeply and truly.' 'It's impossible to come to terms with how his life ended, but we will carry his spirit.' Mr Hayes said his father's sudden death had paralysed his family in grief: 'It's impossible to come to terms with how his life ended, but we will carry his spirit.' 'He was 72 years old when his life was taken from us, far too soon, and in the most cruel and senseless way.' 'None of us will ever understand it, but what we do understand is the impact he made while he was here, and that's that's what we're here to remember.' Mr Hayes described his late father as 'an unforgettable man' who brought fun and happy memories to his family and friends. 'Our Dad was a kind man, a proper character — if you knew him, you'd know he was some man to make up a story, and not just any story, but a full-blown 'Mikey-spoof',' said Mr Hayes to laughter from loved ones and friends.

They would be one of those stories you wouldn't believe about a neighbor, cousin or some poor stranger that probably never existed at all.' 'But the magic was, you didn't care, because when Mikey told a story, you listened and you laughed.' 'That was Mikey's gift - He didn't need a stage, a microphone; just a crowd, a bit of attention and maybe a pint, and he was away. He brought joy into every room, just being just by being in it.' 'He was also known by many for his time selling ice-cream at the football matches and concerts. That's where you'd find him with a cheeky grin, a quick joke and a '99 in each hand.' 'Those weren't just work-shifts, they were adventures.' 'Today we say goodbye to an unforgettable man. We'll tell his stories, 'Mikey-spoofs', and we'll do our best to laugh through the tears, just like he would have wanted.' Fighting back tears, Mr Hayes concluded to an ovation from the congregation: 'Rest easy, Dad, you were one in a million, and we'll be telling your stories for the rest of our lives.' Afterwards, Michael 'Mikey' Hayes, survived by his four sons, Tom, Michael, Brendan and Joe, was laid to rest at Mount Saint Oliver Cemetery, Limerick.
