🔗 Share this article Recent Information Emerge Concerning the Finding of the Reiner Couple's Remains New information has come to light concerning the tragic demises of renowned director Rob Reiner and visual artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose bodies were discovered at their Brentwood, Los Angeles property on Sunday. The Discovery As detailed in an account quoting a confidential source, a massage therapist scheduled for an session first raised the alarm after being unable to gain access the residence. The practitioner then contacted the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who resides close by. After gaining access to the residence, Romy came upon her father's body. It is said she then left the home distraught, without knowing at that moment that her mother's body was also inside. Her roommate who had accompanied her contacted 911. Following this, first responders located Michele Singer Reiner's body. Criminal Developments Law enforcement have formally accused the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with the charges of first-degree murder, including the alleged use of a deadly weapon, reportedly a knife. He is currently in custody and denied bail. Clarifications The person close to the family also disputed several earlier details. It was stated that while Romy Reiner informed emergency responders that her brother Nick resided in a separate structure on the estate, she did not point to him as a person of interest at that time. Additionally refuted circulated notions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been unusually "worried" about Nick's behavior in the weeks leading up to the incident. Rather the family was "familiar with working through [Nick's] problems together." The statement also extends to accounts of reportedly "erratic" conduct by Nick at a gathering held by Conan O'Brien the evening prior to the discovery. Although the source said they were unable to confirm whether Rob had "scolded" his son at the party, they said that claims of a "major confrontation" between the two were inaccurate. Investigation Details As stated by law enforcement sources, the medical examiner had not yet established as of Tuesday whether the Reiners died on Saturday evening or on Sunday. Preliminary media reports suggested the state of their bodies implied they had been dead for a period of time. Nick Reiner was arrested at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park, roughly 15 miles from the residence. He was set to appear in court on Tuesday, but his legal counsel, Alan Jackson, indicated his client had a medical issue and would be unable to attend until Wednesday at the earliest.
