Rob Reiner and wife Michele’s son Nick arrested for murder in parents’ stabbing deaths
Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner’s son Nick Reiner has been arrested on charges of murder in his parents’ stabbing deaths, Page Six can confirm.
The 32-year-old was taken to Parker Center Jail in Downtown Los Angeles and later transferred to Twin Towers Correctional Facility where he is being held with no bail, a rep for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office tells us.
Rob’s reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
News broke of the couple’s death on Sunday, with Nick identified as a person of interest.
Rob and Michele were found by daughter Romy Reiner in their Brentwood, Calif., home after allegedly having their throats slit during a heated argument with a family member.
The duo were declared dead at the scene.
Rob and Michele were 78 and 68 years old, respectively.
In addition to Nick and Romy, they are survived by son Jake Reiner, as well as Rob’s daughter Tracy Reiner from a previous marriage.
The couple’s “heartbroken” family members issued a statement in the wake of the “sudden loss.”
“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner,” Rob and Michele’s loved ones told Variety.
“We ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” they concluded.
In one of his final interviews, with Piers Morgan in September, the late actor-director made a chilling comment about his kids.
When asked about his favorite movie he’s worked on, Rob replied, “Listen, people have their favorites. [It’s] the cliché, ‘We love all our children, even the bad ones.’”
Nick, notably, has battled drug addiction since his teens and collaborated on a semi-autobiographical film with his dad in 2015 called “Dear Charlie.”
While promoting the project, Nick told the Los Angeles Times that he was “sick of” his struggles amid repeated rehab stints.
“I come from a nice family,” he said. “I’m not supposed to be out there on the streets and in homeless shelters doing all these things.”
