Jake Reiner’s 1st interview about his parents' killings, his brother's arrest, and moving forward
Jake Reiner says his family is coping with grief as his brother faces murder charges in the killings of Rob and Michele Reiner.
On Thursday, Jake Reiner gave his first sit-down interview to KABC, describing the past eight months since his parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were killed as a "living nightmare."
Rob and Michele Reiner were stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on December 14, 2025; their son Nick Reiner was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, pleading not guilty.
Jake Reiner was at Union Station on December 14 when his sister Romy Reiner called with devastating news: "Romy told me our dad was dead, and then she said, 'I can't find mom.'"
Earlier this month, a grand jury formally indicted Nick Reiner, adding an allegation he was lying in wait; Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman called the killings a "profound betrayal."
While navigating his grief, Jake Reiner supports his sister and aunt while continuing work with the Children's Institute, which serves about 30,000 children and families annually through education programs.
