Rob Reiner’s Son Nick Reiner Arrested in Connection with Deaths of Director & Michele Reiner
Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner’s deaths are at the center of a police investigation.
The When Harry Met Sally director and his wife of 36 years were found dead at their Los Angeles home Dec. 14, with a source telling NBC News that the couple appeared to have suffered stab wounds.
The gruesome discovery led responding officers to determine that the Reiners “were the victims of homicide,” according to a Los Angeles Police Department press release issued on Dec. 15.
“The investigation further revealed that Nick Reiner, the 32-year-old son of Robert and Michele Reiner, was responsible for their deaths,” authorities continued in their statement. “He was booked for murder and remains in custody with no bail.”
As for the events leading up to Nick’s arrest? It appeared that the screenwriter clashed with Rob, 78, the day before he was taken into custody. As multiple sources told People, the father-son duo got into an argument at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party on Dec. 13.
Family friends also confirmed the dispute, telling the Los Angeles Times that guests at the bash noticed Nick—who Rob shared with Michele along with kids Jake Reiner, 34, and Romy Reiner, 27—acting strangely.
