Police reportedly responded to multiple “disturbances” at Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner’s home prior to their deaths.
Los Angeles Police Department records obtained by the Daily Mail on Tuesday, December 23, showed that authorities attended to calls from the late couple’s Brentwood, California, property “at least six times” in “over a decade.”
The report detailed alleged police visits in “2013, 2014, 2017 [and] twice in 2019” prior to the one made on December 14 when Rob and Michele were found dead at the ages of 78 and 70, respectively.

News of Rob and Michele’s deaths broke on December 14, with a family spokesperson confirming via a statement, “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”
Following their deaths, Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Alan S. Hamilton shared during a press conference that Rob and Michele had been discovered with “apparent stab wounds.” Us confirmed on December 15 that the couple’s son Nick Reiner had been arrested on a murder charge. He was brought into custody that day and formally charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He faces life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
Rob and Michele had publicly discussed Nick’s struggles with substance abuse in the past, as well as its impact on their family. Nick, 32, entered rehab for the first time at age 15 and continued to check in and out of at least 17 treatment facilities for several years after.
During a joint 2016 appearance on Access Hollywood, Rob and Nick discussed Nick’s semi-autobiographical film, Being Charlie, which was inspired by Nick’s drug addiction. “He [Nick] went through a lot of this,” Rob said at the time before Nick expanded, noting that the film was based on “my own experiences and from also seeing other people going through it.”
When asked “how bad” things got inside the Reiner home, Rob said, “It’s reflected in the movie.” He explained, “The father character … he didn’t know what to do, so he listened to anybody who had a desk and a diploma. But the truth of the matter is you have to be who you are and I made mistakes and I didn’t go with my gut instinct and I know Nick better than some expert that’s never met him and I think, had I listened to my own instincts, I would’ve done a lot better by Nick.”
Nick Reiner was reportedly not at the Brentwood, California home of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, when their bodies were discovered. Per a Monday, December 15, report from ABC News, investigators believe Nick, 32, left the Brentwood neighborhood and traveled to an area near the University of Southern California in University Park, […]
The report about multiple visits to the Reiner home comes after a resurfaced 2015 clip from the “Dopey” podcast recalled Nick speaking about going to extreme lengths, including a plan to appear mentally unstable, to obtain medication throughout his addiction struggles. “I was like, ‘How do I show these motherf***ers that I’m crazy?’” he said on the podcast. “So, I was like, ‘I’ll throw a rock through a window.’”
Nick declined to enter a plea in his first court appearance, during which he appeared in a blue suicide prevention smock. The hearing saw him only speak when spoken to, uttering, “Yes, your honor” when asked whether he agreed to waive his right to a speedy arraignment.
Nick’s arraignment is scheduled for January 7, 2026.
