Fresh Information Emerge About the Finding of the Bodies of Rob and Michele Reiner Bodies

Fresh particulars have surfaced concerning the tragic demises of esteemed film director Rob Reiner and visual artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose bodies were found at their Los Angeles home residence on Sunday.

A Alarm

As detailed in an account quoting a person close to the family, a therapist arriving for an appointment initially became concerned after being unable to gain access the residence. This individual then got in touch with the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who resides close by.

After gaining access to the home, Romy came upon her father's body. Reports state she then left the home distraught, not realizing at that moment that her mother's body was also inside. Her roommate who had gone with her contacted 911. Subsequently, emergency responders discovered Michele Singer Reiner's body.

Criminal Charges

Law enforcement have formally accused the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with the charges of premeditated murder, along with the alleged use of a deadly weapon, said to be a knife. He is now being held and is ineligible for bail.

Correcting the Record

The anonymous source questioned several previously reported details. They said that while Romy Reiner told first responders that her brother Nick lived in a detached unit on the grounds, she did not name him as a potential suspect at that juncture.

Furthermore refuted published suggestions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been especially "concerned" about Nick's actions in the weeks leading up to the incident. The source claimed the family was "accustomed to working through [Nick's] problems together."

This correction applies to reports of reportedly "erratic" behavior by Nick at a gathering hosted by Conan O'Brien on the night before the bodies were found. Although the source noted they were not in a position to confirm whether Rob had "rebuked" his son at the party, they said that reports of a "major confrontation" between the two were untrue.

Ongoing Inquiry Timeline

According to law enforcement officials, the medical examiner had yet to determine as of Tuesday whether the Reiners died on Saturday evening or on Sunday. Some media reports indicated the condition of their bodies pointed to they had been deceased for a number of hours.

Nick Reiner was taken into custody at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park area, about 15 miles from the residence. He was scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday, but his lawyer, Alan Jackson, indicated his client had a medical issue and would not appear until no sooner than Wednesday.
