Did Nick Reiner indulge in clash with his parents Rob and Michele? All on ‘very loud argument’ at Conan O’Brien party
Rob Reiner and his wife had a “loud argument” with their son Nick before being found murdered in Los Angeles, Daily Beast reported.
Rob Reiner and his spouse engaged in a “very loud argument” with their troubled son at American late-night talk-show host and comedian Conan O’Brien’s Christmas gathering—just hours before authorities stated that they were found dead in their Los Angeles residence, Daily Beast reported, citing insiders.
Nick Reiner, 32, has been taken into custody in relation to his parents’ horrific murder, although law enforcement has refrained from asserting that he is the individual who fatally slashed their throats.
Family sources informed TMZ that Rob, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, 68, departed the party following the altercation. The timing of Nick's departure remains uncertain.
The couple was found deceased in their Brentwood home on Sunday afternoon.
The Reiners were allegedly at their “wits’ end” with Nick, who oscillated between rehabilitation and homelessness during his teenage years and has continued to grapple with mental health challenges and substance abuse, sources stated to TMZ.
Sources informed TMZ that Michele believed the couple had exhausted all possible options.
The specifics of the disagreement between Nick and his parents during the Christmas gathering remain uncertain.
