What began as a routine Sunday appointment ended in one of Hollywood’s most shocking family tragedies. When no one answered the gate at the Los Angeles home of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele, their daughter Romy rushed over. Inside, she discovered her parents dead, prompting a 911 call and a police investigation.
Two days later, prosecutors charged the couple’s younger son, Nick Reiner, with two counts of first-degree murder. He was arrested Sunday night several miles from the home. The deaths stunned friends and colleagues, including Michelle Obama, who revealed she and Barack Obama were supposed to have dinner with the Reiners that evening. As court proceedings begin, investigators continue piecing together how an ordinary afternoon turned into an irreversible loss.
