About Nick
Nick is the son of Rob and Michele Reiner, who has mostly remained out of the public eye. Reiner, however, spent his life struggling with substance abuse since he was a stranger. He was admitted to a rehab centre at the age of 15 and was even homeless at one point. Reiner has been in and out of shelter homes several times, refusing to return to therapy, choosing to do things his own way rather than following the programs they offered.
Rob and Michele Reiner’s bodies were found by their daughter Romy, who got suspicious after she was unable to reach them. Romy then discovered her parents’ dead bodies and immediately called 911. Nick is currently the prime suspect and was questioned by LAPD detectives.
