Alex Stone, LAPD say Robin Kaye and her husband were murdered last Thursday by a man who was burglarizing their home, but they weren't found until Monday when a welfare check was called on them because they had not been heard from since Thursday.  Detectives believe Kaye, who was a senior music producer on American Idol, and her husband interrupted the man when they came home, there was a struggle, and he shot and killed them.  The home was not ransacked.  While the 22-year-old in custody allegedly went into the home as a burglar, his ultimate reason for being inside is not clear.  Last week the LAPD was called to the home for a possible burglary but cleared after seeing no signs of a burglary.  It is believed that was the incident when the couple was killed.// National Hot Dog Day and The Foosh aka The Wilderbeast was cut-off from KLAC's Hotdogs!
