Renowned Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Los Angeles home, sparking a murder investigation. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. Authorities believe the couple was killed with a knife, with rigor mortis setting in by the time their bodies were discovered by their daughter Romy.
The investigation revealed that Nick, who struggled with addiction, had been living with his parents and had a history of substance abuse and homelessness. A heated argument between Nick and his parents at a party the night before the murder has raised suspicions about his involvement. Prosecutors have added special circumstances to the charges, including multiple murders and use of a deadly weapon, which could lead to a life sentence or the death penalty if convicted.
