Los Angeles police arrested Rob and Michele Reiner’s middle son, and are holding him on $4 million bail, according to official records, after several media outlets pointed to the 32-year-old as an alleged suspect in the murder of the iconic director and his wife.
Nick Reiner was arrested late Sunday night and booked into the Los Angeles County Jail on Monday, according to online criminal records.
Police have not yet shared details about the nature of the deaths of Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Reiner, nor have they publicly reported arrests in connection with the homicide, but media outlets such as People point to the couple’s middle son as being responsible for stabbing them both.
He allegedly attacked producer Rob Reiner and his wife with a knife.
The website TMZ reports that the couple’s throats were slit after a possible argument, although it does not specify the reasons for the disagreement.
A daughter of the Reiner family found the bodies and told police that a family member was responsible for the death of her parents, according to the entertainment media.
Investigators are expected to provide further information about the incident and confirm the suspect’s identity throughout the day.
The author of such classics as ‘When Harry met Sally…’ (1989), ‘The Princess Bride’ (1987) or ‘This is Spinal Tap’ (2005) and his wife were found dead Sunday at their Brentwood home. According to the Los Angeles Times, there were no signs of forced entry to the home.
