The man accused of killing a former American Idol producer and her rock musician husband called 9-1-1 from the victims’ home the day of the murder and yet, it was four days before police discovered the bodies.

The revelation came after L.A. District Attorney Nathan Hochman held a recent town hall in Encino, where hundreds of residents gathered to vent their frustration at the pace of crime and police work in their community.

Richard Winton covers crime for the Times and joined Lisa McRee.
