Rob Reiner and Wife Found Dead in Apparent Stabbing; Son a Person of Interest

LOS ANGELES – Legendary director Rob Reiner and his longtime wife have been found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home and investigators are eyeing the couple’s troubled adult son as a person of interest, according to law enforcement sources.

Officers were called to the home Sunday afternoon, where they discovered a man and woman with stab wounds, according to sources.

The Los Angeles Fire Department told NBC Los Angeles that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead inside the home.

Post sources confirmed the bodies discovered were the longtime couple, who married in 1989. The couple’s 32-year-old son and screenwriter Nick Reiner is a person of interest in the deadly stabbing, the sources added.

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time,” Reiner’s family said in a statement.

A knife is believed to have been used in the attack, sources said.

Nick has been open about his issues battling drug addiction and homelessness in the past.

“I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey.I was homeless in Texas I spent nights on the street.I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun,” he told People in an interview in 2016.

Officers had the street blocked off in front of Reiner’s house, and detectives could be seen investigating the scene.
