Reiner Double‑Homicide Case Advances With Autopsy Sealed and Arraignment Set

The case moves toward a Jan. 7 arraignment with charges carrying life‑without‑parole exposure and key forensic records under a security hold.

Overview

  • LAPD confirmed a security hold that blocks public release of the medical examiner’s report to protect investigative details, saying information will be released once the order is lifted.
  • Nick Reiner, 32, is jailed without bail at Twin Towers in restricted custody with reports of suicide watch, facing two first‑degree murder counts with special‑circumstance and weapon allegations.
  • Prosecutors have not announced a death‑penalty decision, and the charges could carry life without parole if he is convicted.
  • Official death certificates state Rob, 78, and Michele, 70, died of multiple sharp‑force injuries caused with a knife, with their bodies found minutes apart on Dec. 14.
  • Siblings Jake and Romy have asked for privacy and are leaning on their close relationship as they quietly plan memorial details and seek moments of normalcy.
