New information has come to light concerning the tragic deaths of renowned filmmaker Rob Reiner and artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose remains were located at their Brentwood, Los Angeles residence on Sunday.

A Discovery

A source indicates quoting a person close to the family, a massage therapist arriving for an session initially became concerned after being unable to gain access the home. The practitioner then reached out to the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who resides close by.

When she went into the house, Romy found her father's body. Accounts indicate she then fled the house in anguish, not realizing at that moment that her mother's body was there as well. Another individual who had accompanied her contacted 911. Afterward, paramedics discovered Michele Singer Reiner's body.

Legal Charges

The police have formally accused the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with the charges of premeditated murder, including the use of a dangerous weapon, said to be a knife. He is currently in custody and denied bail.

Disputed Reports

The confidential informant questioned several previously reported details. The source indicated that while Romy Reiner told emergency responders that her brother Nick lived in a separate structure on the property, she did not identify him as a suspect at that moment.

Furthermore refuted circulated notions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been particularly "apprehensive" about Nick's actions in the weeks leading up to the incident. The source claimed the family was "familiar with working through [Nick's] problems together."

This correction applies to reports of alleged "unpredictable" conduct by Nick at a gathering thrown by Conan O'Brien on the night before the bodies were found. While the source stated they were unable to confirm whether Rob had "scolded" his son at the party, they asserted that reports of a "heated argument" between the two were untrue.

Investigation Timeline

According to law enforcement sources, the medical examiner had yet to determine as of Tuesday whether the Reiners died late on Saturday or on Sunday. Preliminary accounts noted the condition of their bodies implied they had been dead for some hours.

Nick Reiner was apprehended at around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park, some 15 miles from the family home. He was set to have a hearing on Tuesday, but his attorney, Alan Jackson, indicated his client had not received medical clearance and would not appear until no sooner than Wednesday.
