Death Certificates Confirm Rob and Michele Reiner Were Fatally Stabbed With a Knife

Their son Nick remains jailed on two first-degree murder counts as their children plan a memorial and request privacy.

Overview

  • Official death certificates released on Dec. 23 list the cause as multiple sharp-force injuries inflicted "with [a] knife, by another."
  • The documents state the couple died within minutes of the attack and that their remains have been cremated, with services to be announced later.
  • Nick Reiner, 32, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a multiple-murder special circumstance and a weapon-use allegation.
  • He is being held without bail and is due for arraignment on Jan. 7, 2026, after a brief initial court appearance on Dec. 17.
  • Jake and Romy Reiner said they are grateful for the support and will share memorial details at a later date, asking that speculation be tempered with compassion.
