In a shocking development, Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, have been discovered dead in their Brentwood, California residence, victims of an apparent stabbing, just two days ago.

Their son, Nick Reiner, is now in police custody and is facing charges related to the murder of his parents.

Oxygen has delved into the details surrounding the murder investigation of the renowned When Harry Met Sally director.

Nick Reiner Is Set to Be Charged in Murders of Rob Reiner, Michele Reiner

At a press conference on December 16, Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman announced, “We will be filing charges against Nick Reiner, accused of murdering his parents: actor and director Rob Reiner, and photographer and producer Michelle Singer Reiner. He faces two counts of first-degree murder, with a special circumstance for multiple murders, alongside a special allegation for using a dangerous weapon, specifically a knife.”

Nick was scheduled to attend an in-person hearing on December 16. However, his defense attorney informed reporters outside the courtroom that Nick had not received “medical clearance” to be present.

“All inmates must be medically cleared for transport to court, and Nick has not yet met this requirement,” explained attorney Alan Jackson, who has previously represented high-profile clients such as Harvey Weinstein and Karen Read. He described the situation as merely “a procedural issue,” in a video recorded by MS Now.

And, for now, Nick is being held without bail. 

“The bailiff has indicated that the sheriff’s department will take it on a day-by-day basis,” Jackson added. “Hopefully, he’ll be cleared tomorrow and we can get him here.”

What Happened After Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s Bodies Were Discovered

Hours after Rob and Michele’s bodies were found, law enforcement gave their first press briefing outside the couple’s West L.A. home. 

“At approximately 3:40 this afternoon, Los Angeles police officers, along with the Los Angeles City Fire Department, responded to the 200 block of Chadbourne Avenue, here in the city of Brentwood,” LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton said Sunday evening. “Upon arrival, they determined that there were two deceased individuals inside of the residence.” 

Initial reports and details from authorities, for multiple hours, didn’t confirm whether the deceased individuals were Rob and Michele. 

“Once inside the residence, officers discovered two victims, who were subsequently identified as Robert and Michele Reiner,” read a press release Dec. 15. “Robbery Homicide Division, Homicide Special Section (RHD/HSS), responded to the residence and initiated an investigation regarding the circumstances of their deaths.”

“As a result of the initial investigation, it was determined that the Reiners were the victims of homicide,” law enforcement added. “The investigation further revealed that Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Robert and Michele Reiner, was responsible for their deaths.”

What Happened Before Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s Murders

On Dec. 13, Nick accompanied Rob and Michele to a Christmas party at Conan O’Brien’s house, where they were seen arguing over Nick reportedly making guests uncomfortable—multiple sources told the L.A. Times and People. 

Among the tributes pouring in after news of their deaths broke, Jane Fonda, Eric Idle and Paul Feig claimed they spoke with Rob on that Saturday, Dec. 14. But, for now, it’s unclear if their interactions took place at the comedian’s holiday party.
