Nick Reiner Arrested for Murdering His Parents, Rob and Michele Reiner

Update: People Magazine is reporting that Nick Reiner, son of Michele and Rob, stabbed his parents to death in their home.

According to the article:

In a 2016 interview with PEOPLE, Nick spoke about his years-long struggle with drug addiction, which began in his early teens and eventually left him living on the streets. He said he cycled in and out of rehab beginning around age 15, but as his addiction escalated, he drifted farther from home and spent significant stretches homeless in multiple states.

Original Story: Two people were found dead Sunday afternoon inside a Brentwood residence owned by actor and director Rob Reiner, prompting a murder investigation by Los Angeles Robbery-Homicide Division. As of publication, officials have not publicly identified the deceased or confirmed their relationship to Reiner or his family.

According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, crews responded to a medical call at the home at approximately 3:30 p.m. local time. Upon arrival, first responders discovered a man and a woman deceased inside the residence. Early reports described the individuals as being approximately 78 and 68 years old, though authorities cautioned that details remain preliminary.

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed officers were dispatched to the scene and that detectives from the department’s Robbery-Homicide Division were assigned to the case.

No arrests have been announced, and investigators have not indicated whether there were signs of forced entry or foul play. Law enforcement officials emphasized that the investigation is ongoing.

Heavy speculation online points to Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, being the victims as the ages released by LAPD, 78 and 68, match the ages of the married couple. Local reports indicate one of their sons was taken away from the house by police, though this is also unconfirmed.

The investigation remains active, and additional information is expected to be released as authorities continue their work.
