The Arrest and Charges
Nick Reiner was booked into LAPD custody early Monday morning. The arrest follows the grim discovery on Sunday afternoon when one of the couple’s daughters found her parents deceased inside their Brentwood home on Chadbourne Avenue and called police.

The news has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, prompting an outpouring of grief. Friends and collaborators, including Billy Crystal and Larry David, gathered at the home, while tributes poured in from figures like former President Barack Obama and author Stephen King.
Rob Reiner was an iconic figure in film and television, rising to fame on All in the Family before directing classics like Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, and A Few Good Men. He and Michele were married for over 35 years.
Nick Reiner remains in custody as the investigation continues. Authorities stress that all allegations are subject to judicial process and that further details will be released as they are confirmed.
