Summary
Hours later, their 32-year-old son Nick Reiner was arrested near USC and booked on suspicion of murder. He's now being held without bail.
But here's what makes this story even more disturbing: the night before the killings, Rob, Michele, and Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house. Witnesses say Nick was acting erratically — staring at people, interrupting conversations, freaking out guests. Then he got into a loud argument with his father. Loud enough for the whole party to hear. Rob and Michele left afterward.
Less than 24 hours later, they were dead.
Nick Reiner has a documented history of severe drug addiction going back to age 15. He went through 17 rehab programs. He was homeless in three different states. In 2015, he co-wrote a semi-autobiographical film with his father called Being Charlie about his struggles with addiction. Rob Reiner called it the most personal project he ever made.
Sources say Michele had been telling friends for months that she and Rob were at their "wits' end" with Nick's mental health and substance abuse issues. Her words: "We've tried everything."
This is a story about a Hollywood legend, a family in crisis, and a system that gives parents almost no options when their adult children are spiraling. The Reiners had money, connections, and access to the best treatment available. None of it was enough.
In this video, we break down everything we know — the timeline, the party, the arrest, Nick's history, and what comes next as the case heads to the LA County District Attorney.
