Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home. Their son Nick was arrested that same day and has been held without bail ever since, facing two counts of first-degree murder with death penalty eligibility. And more than four months after their bodies were found, the autopsies still aren't finished. This week on Hidden Killers, we looked back at the most compelling conversations surrounding the Reiner case — from the courtroom hearing that lasted minutes to the family essay that gutted tens of thousands of readers. Nick Reiner stood in a Los Angeles courtroom, consulted with his public defender, and delivered one word: "Yeah." The judge pushed the case to September. Not to the preliminary hearing — to a date to set the date for the preliminary hearing. The Medical Examiner hasn't completed the documentation of every wound inflicted on Rob and Michele. The defense says it needs more discovery. The prosecution says the autopsy is the final outstanding piece. The earliest this case could reach trial is months away, and the system hasn't even finished accounting for how two people died. While the legal process stalls, the human story keeps moving. Nick's brother Jake published an essay that reached tens of thousands of people — about Dodger games with his dad, bad jokes with his mom, and the fear his parents must have felt in their final moments. Sources confirm the Reiner siblings — Jake, Romy, and Tracy — have cut off all contact and financial support for Nick. They reportedly call him "Satan incarnate." And yet they are telling prosecutors not to seek the death penalty — because their father was opposed to capital punishment, and they're honoring that conviction even now. Then there's Nick's reported interest in writing a tell-all book about his parents. The contrast between the brothers — Jake's grief made public through love, Nick's reported grievance aimed at exposure — tells you everything about how this family was fractured and who's still trying to hold it together. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down what the delay signals, what the defense is likely building, whether a mental health defense is inevitable given Nick's documented history of schizoaffective disorder and a prior conservatorship, and what families experience when the system can't even finish the paperwork on how their loved ones were killed.
