Police Confirm Blood Inside Hotel Room of Nick Reiner; Arrest Photos Released
Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested as the primary suspect.
New details reveal Nick checked into a Santa Monica hotel hours after arguing with his father at a holiday party on December 13. Staff later found blood in the room.
Authorities arrested Nick in Exposition Park. The LAPD shared and later deleted images of his arrest, identifying him only as a double homicide suspect.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney has charged Nick with two counts of first-degree murder, alleging he used a knife. He faces life without parole or possibly the death penalty.
Nick has a history of addiction and instability, which inspired the 2015 film *Being Charlie*, co-written with his father. He was previously homeless after refusing rehab.
He had undergone a self-driven recovery, rebuilding his relationship with his father through the filmmaking process, which addressed their shared struggles.
Despite this redemption, Nick now stands accused of killing his parents. The investigation into the tragedy continues.
