Recent Details Emerge Regarding the Location of Rob and Michele Singer Reiner's Remains

Fresh particulars have surfaced about the untimely deaths of renowned director Rob Reiner and artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose remains were found at their Los Angeles home residence on Sunday.

The Alarm

A source indicates referencing a person close to the family, a massage therapist scheduled for an appointment first raised the alarm after not being able to enter the house. The practitioner then contacted the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who lives nearby.

After gaining access to the home, Romy found her father's body. It is said she then fled the house in anguish, unaware at that moment that her mother's body was also present. A companion who had gone with her promptly called 911. Afterward, first responders found Michele Singer Reiner's body.

Legal Charges

Authorities have charged the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with two counts of first-degree murder, as well as the use of a dangerous weapon, reportedly a knife. He is now being held without bail.

Clarifications

The person close to the family challenged several initial details. The source indicated that while Romy Reiner informed emergency responders that her brother Nick resided in a detached unit on the estate, she did not point to him as a person of interest at that juncture.

Additionally refuted widely reported notions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been unusually "worried" about Nick's actions in the weeks leading up to the incident. Instead the family was "familiar with working through [Nick's] problems together."

This correction also extends to descriptions of reportedly "unstable" behavior by Nick at a party held by Conan O'Brien the evening prior to the discovery. Although the source said they were not in a position to confirm whether Rob had "scolded" his son at the party, they maintained that suggestions of a "heated argument" between the two were inaccurate.

Investigation Details

According to law enforcement officials, the coroner had yet to determine at that point whether the Reiners died Saturday night or on Sunday. Some media reports suggested the condition of their bodies suggested they had been dead for a period of time.

Nick Reiner was arrested at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park area, roughly 15 miles from the family home. He was due to appear in court on Tuesday, but his attorney, Alan Jackson, indicated his client had a medical issue and would not be present until Wednesday at the earliest.
