Son Nick Reiner was charged with their murder on Dec. 16

Rob and Michele Reiner’s medical examiner records are under a security hold due to a Dec. 24 court order initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department.  

“While the cause and manner of death were previously released on these cases, due to the court order, the information is no longer available,” the Los Angeles County medical examiner shared in a statement. “No other case information or records, including the medical examiner report, can be released or posted on the website until further notice.” 

It continued: “The department understands the public’s interest in these cases and remains committed to transparency when possible. Information will be made available once the court order is lifted.”  

The Reiners were found fatally stabbed in their Brentwood home on the afternoon of Dec. 14. By approximately 9:15 p.m. that night, the LAPD tracked down and arrested their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, near Exposition Park.  

Nick was booked and later charged with two counts of first-degree murder.  He is being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Downtown Los Angeles without bail and is being represented by lawyer Alan Jackson, who is also defending the 24-year-old charged in a fatal car crash that killed four Pepperdine University students. 

“Prosecuting cases involving family violence are some of the most challenging and heart-wrenching we face because of the intimate and often brutal nature of the crimes,” District Attorney Nathan Hochman said on Dec. 16. “Rob Reiner was one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. His murder and his wife of more than 35 years, Michele Singer Reiner’s murder, are shocking and tragic. We owe it to their memory to pursue justice and accountability for the lives that were taken.”
