The Nick Reiner case has sparked a national conversation about mental health, addiction, and what happens when families run out of options. But lost in the debate about system failures is a harder question: What do you do when someone refuses to be saved?Today we examine Nick Reiner's documented history — not through tabloid speculation, but through his own words in interviews spanning nearly a decade. From telling NPR he was a "spoiled, white, rich kid" to choosing homelessness over rehab rules to admitting on a podcast that he destroyed his parents' guest house while high on uppers — the pattern is consistent and chilling.We break down the 2015 film Being Charlie, where Nick co-wrote scenes depicting his father as complicit in his suffering — and got Rob Reiner to direct it. We examine how Michele Reiner publicly apologized for believing professionals who warned her that Nick was manipulating them. And we trace the conservatorship that expired in 2021, leaving the family with no legal mechanism to intervene.Nick Reiner has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He has not been convicted, and all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. But the documented record of his own statements raises questions that every family dealing with addiction and mental illness needs to hear.This is True Crime Today's editorial analysis of what the evidence reveals.#NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrimeToday #BrentwoodMurder #Addiction #MentalHealth #BeingCharlie #Hollywood #FamilyViolence #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Reiner family did everything right. They spent millions. They tried eighteen different rehab facilities—reportedly at $60,000 a month. Private yoga instructors. Family therapists. A guesthouse on a $13.5 million Brentwood estate where Nick could always come home. On December 14, 2025, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death. Their son Nick was arrested that night and now faces two counts of first-degree murder. This isn't just a story about one family's tragedy. It's an indictment of a $42 billion addiction treatment industry where 60% of patients relapse within 30 days of discharge. Where the 28-day program isn't based on neuroscience—it's based on what insurance agreed to pay in the 1970s. Where facilities have zero financial incentive to track whether their patients actually get better. A bed filled is a bed billed. We examine how patients learn to game the system—what to say at intake, how to perform recovery without doing the work—while luxury rehabs take family money and deliver nothing. We trace Nick's trajectory from childhood tantrums that derailed family yoga sessions to violent outbursts in rehab, from destroying his parents' guesthouse on meth to a 2020 mental health conservatorship, from allegedly terrorizing guests at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party to the murders less than 24 hours later. A rehab roommate said he "knew exactly who it was" when he heard the news. Nick made disturbing admissions on the Dopey podcast about violence, theft, and moral bankruptcy. The Reiner family pattern isn't unique. Parents bankrupted by hope. Kids cycling through treatment. And an industry that profits whether they live or die. This is the hidden killer nobody wants to name: the system itself.#RobReiner #MicheleReiner #NickReiner #AddictionTreatment #RehabFraud #ReinerMurder #BrentwoodMurder #SystemFailure #TrueCrimeToday #FamilyTragedyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

How does a family go from calling the police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house with someone in apparent psychiatric crisis on December 13th, 2025? Rob Reiner wasn't stupid. He was a successful director, a public intellectual, a man with resources and connections. Michele wasn't naive. These were accomplished people who had access to the best treatment money could buy. Yet their son Nick is now charged with stabbing them to death in their Brentwood home. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent 21 years with the Bureau including serving as Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to analyze what happened inside that family over twenty years. But we also examine what may have happened that night. Harvey Levin at TMZ says sources describe the crime scene as "incredibly brutal"—disturbing even to seasoned medical examiner staff. He said publicly it had "all the markings of a meth murder." Nick was arrested near Exposition Park, an area known for drug activity. His documented history includes violent outbursts while "spun out on uppers," cocaine binges, heroin addiction, and destroying his parents' guest house while high on stimulants. The family says his medication was working—then doctors changed his prescription a month before the killings. Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story. What does that level of influence tell you about the power dynamics? And the question Dreeke can't stop thinking about: Could anyone have broken through to the Reiners?#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #ThreatBlindness #MentalHealth #DualDiagnosis #HollywoodTragedy #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Timestamp to skip the intro: (8:28)In some countries, parricide - the killing of a parent by a child - accounts for up to 5% of all homicides. In January 2026, Clayton Dietz (11) allegedly killed his father Douglas after his Nintendo Switch was taken away from him. In December 2025, Nevada man Adrian Bailey called 911 and confessed to killing both of his parents with a child-sized baseball bat. Carrie Zetel was allegedly murdered with a rock by her mentally ill daughter Lauren in October 2025.  Carrie had voiced suspicions that Lauren was also responsible for the death of her father in 2018.

The Reiner family had resources. Access. The ability to pay for the best treatment money could buy. And we're still here — with Rob and Michele Reiner dead and their son Nick charged with their murders. So here's what nobody wants to answer: if money and access couldn't fix this, what could? Is the addiction treatment system broken — or is this just what addiction does?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins Hidden Killers to examine whether the treatment industry is failing by design or facing a disease that breaks everything it touches. The numbers are brutal: 40-60% relapse rates within 30 days of discharge. For opioids, over 90% in the first year. The 28-day model has been the standard since the 1970s — not based on brain science, but on what insurance companies decided to cover. Is that setting people up to fail before they walk in the door?We dig into the co-occurring disorder problem — addiction almost never travels alone, but most facilities aren't equipped to treat the trauma, depression, and mental illness underneath it. Shavaun explains what evidence-based treatment actually looks like, why it's not the norm, and the uncomfortable reality of patients who learn to perform recovery without doing the work. This is the first part of an unflinching examination of an industry that takes billions while delivering dismal results.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #AddictionTreatmentFailed #RehabIndustry #ShavaunScott #SubstanceAbuse #MentalHealth #TreatmentCrisis #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The 28-day treatment model has been the standard since the 1970s. Relapse rates have stayed roughly the same. The approach hasn't fundamentally evolved. In almost every other area of medicine, fifty years of data showing 40-90% failure rates would have triggered a complete overhaul. So why hasn't that happened with addiction treatment? In Part 2 of our examination following the Nick Reiner tragedy, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott follows the money.A $42 billion industry where every relapse is another admission, another billing cycle. Facilities get paid whether treatment works or not. Insurance companies control treatment length through utilization review, overriding treating physicians and deciding when someone is "stable enough" for discharge regardless of clinical judgment. There's no standardized outcome tracking. No required reporting of success rates. Families can't comparison shop because the data doesn't exist.Shavaun examines the regulatory gap — in many states, the barrier to opening a treatment facility is shockingly low, with minimal oversight and no consequences for poor outcomes. We identify who pushes back when reform is proposed: treatment industry lobbyists, insurance companies, pharmaceutical interests. The research showing what works exists. Longer treatment. Integrated mental health care. Medication-assisted treatment. So what's blocking evidence-based care from becoming the norm? Is meaningful reform possible, or is this system too protected to change?#NickReiner #RobReiner #AddictionIndustry #RehabProfits #TreatmentReform #ShavaunScott #InsuranceCompanies #HealthcareCorruption #OpioidCrisis #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week, Michele Cobb joins host Jo Reed to dig into audiobooks built on backstory, beginning with Expert Witness, where Gabra Zackman delivers Anne Wolbert Burgess' account of trauma, justice, and the evolution of expert testimony with clarity and restraint. Next, they turn to A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever, a joyful, detail-packed oral history of the 1984 film Spinal Tap—an ensemble cast production led by Rob Reiner, where seemingly spontaneous commentary makes the audiobook the definitive way to experience the story. The episode closes with We Did OK, Kid, a reflective memoir in which Kenneth Branagh's elegant narration frames Anthony Hopkins's vulnerable reflections on craft, ambition, and a life shaped by performance. Together these audiobooks show how lived experience—whether in the courtroom, on a film set, or across a lifetime in acting—gains depth and resonance when shaped by a narrator who knows when to be restrained, playful, or quietly vulnerable. Audiobooks Discussed: Expert Witness: The Weight of Our Testimony When Justice Hangs in the Balance by Ann Wolbert Burgess with Steven Matthew Constantine, read by Gabra Zackman A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever: The Story of Spinal Tap, written and read by Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer  We Did Ok, Kid: A Memoir by Sir Anthony Hopkins, read by Kenneth Branagh with the author Learn more about your ad choices.

Nick Reiner allegedly murdered his parents — director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. The tragedy has forced a national conversation about something America has avoided for decades: the addiction treatment system doesn't work. Relapse rates between 40-60% within a month. Over 90% for opioids in the first year. A $42 billion industry that keeps billing whether treatment succeeds or not. Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, we're asking the hard question — is the system broken, or is this just what addiction looks like?Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins us to break down the clinical reality behind the headlines. The 28-day treatment model wasn't designed by doctors — it was designed by insurance companies in the 1970s. The brain doesn't heal from addiction in 28 days. So why is that still the standard? Shavaun examines what evidence-based treatment actually requires, why most facilities can't provide it, and whether we're expecting too much from a population that often doesn't want to recover.We're digging into the co-occurring disorder crisis — the trauma, depression, and mental illness that almost always accompanies addiction but rarely gets treated. The underpaid, undertrained workforce doing the frontline work. And the uncomfortable truth about patients who learn to game the system.

What makes a family member turn killer? Three active cases are forcing that question into focus. Nick Reiner stands accused of stabbing his parents, director Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, to death at their Brentwood home. He has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder, eighteen rehab stays, and a 2020 mental health conservatorship. His attorney withdrew while insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder"—signaling an insanity defense. Paul Caneiro is on trial in New Jersey for the 2018 murders of his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children at the family's Colts Neck mansion. Prosecutors say financial desperation drove the killings after Keith discovered Paul stealing from their businesses. Testimony this week included the final phone call between the brothers and graphic details about the children's injuries. Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon whose medical license had expired, pleaded not guilty to four counts of aggravated murder in the shooting deaths of his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe. Ballistic evidence allegedly ties a gun from McKee's property to the crime scene. All three cases involve family members. All three involve alleged warning signs that went unheeded. And all three leave the same question: what should families do when troubled becomes dangerous?#NickReiner #PaulCaneiro #MichaelMcKee #RobReiner #KeithCaneiro #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #FamilyMurder #TrueCrimeToday #MurderTrialJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This week we're covering three cases that force the same devastating question: how do families know when a troubled relative has become genuinely dangerous? Nick Reiner is charged with stabbing his parents, legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, at their Brentwood home. His attorney withdrew while insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder"—signaling a likely insanity defense based on his documented schizoaffective disorder and years of erratic behavior. Paul Caneiro is on trial in New Jersey for the 2018 murders of his brother Keith, sister-in-law Jennifer, and their two children at the family's Colts Neck mansion. Prosecutors say financial desperation drove him to kill after Keith discovered he was stealing from their shared businesses. Jurors heard the final phone call between the brothers—Keith demanding account access hours before his death. And Michael McKee, a vascular surgeon, has pleaded not guilty to killing his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Dr. Spencer Tepe in Columbus. Police call it a "targeted" domestic violence attack, with ballistic evidence allegedly linking McKee's gun to the scene. Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins us to examine what the escalation patterns in these cases reveal—and what families should watch for when love and accommodation are no longer enough.#NickReiner #PaulCaneiro #MichaelMcKee #RobReiner #KeithCaneiro #MoniqueTepe #FamilyMurder #BehavioralAnalysis #TrueCrime #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nick Reiner announced at the 2018 Thankgiving gathering that he was “ungrateful” for the food and “not grateful” for the company of family and friends who he labeled as “freeloaders” in HIS home. In reality, the 13.5 million dollar Brentwood mansion and it's guesthouse that Reiner called home was paid for by the money his father famed director and actor Rob Reiner and his photographer wife Michelle Singer Reiner earned through their hard work and talents. This depiction of the Reiner's. family Thanksgiving in 2018 and published in the Washington Post tells us so much about how Nick Reiner viewed his family. Nick Reiner viewed his family as intruders on his lifestyle and his freedom and he had no gratitude for the luxury lifestyle they gifted him.

New reports coming out today from allege that unnamed sources close to the Reiner family say the family is terrified of the case going to trial. The news story seems to indicate the family is worried about Nick Reiner's medical history coming to light. However, those reports have been in the public domain for weeks. Is this leak even true? And if it is true, what is the family really terrified about?

Unexpected events can expose gaps in even the most carefully prepared estate plans. When family conflict, legal standards and timing collide, the outcome can reshape how assets move and who ultimately benefits. In this episode of Celebrity Estates, Senior Editor David Lenok examines the estate of Rob Reiner alongside Sean Weissbart, partner and co-chair of the Tax Benefits and Private Client Practice Group at Blank Rome. The conversation focuses on how slayer statutes function, why probate courts rely on civil standards rather than criminal convictions, and how intent and mental state influence inheritance outcomes. Sean explains how being treated as predeceased can redirect assets, how insanity defenses may affect eligibility and why simultaneous death rules and community property laws matter when spouses die close in time.  Join David Lenok and Sean Weissbart as they break down the estate planning lessons behind rare legal scenarios and the importance of thoughtful planning when the unexpected occurs. Key takeaways: How slayer statutes prevent financial benefit after intentional and felonious killing Why civil standards of proof differ from criminal convictions in estate matters How predeceased treatment redirects inheritances to alternate beneficiaries The role of insanity defenses, trusts and fiduciaries in inheritance outcomes Why simultaneous death provisions and planning details can reshape asset flow Resources: Listen to Celebrity Estates on Wealth Management Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Apple Podcasts Subscribe and listen to Celebrity Estates on Spotify Trust and Estates Magazine Connect With David Lenok: david.lenok@informa.com  Wealth Management LinkedIn: David Lenok LinkedIn: Informa LinkedIn: Wealth Management Connect With Sean Weissbart: LinkedIn: Sean Weissbart LinkedIn: Blank Rome Website: Blank Rome About Our Guest: As one of the most regarded millennial estate planners in the country, Sean plays an integral role in the lives of his clients, working together to create legacies that are tax efficient and responsive to the unique needs of each family.

We complete our tribute to Rob Reiner with a look at his 1986 film Stand by Me. Raynold Gideon and Bruce A. Evans were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and Reiner was nominated for the Golden Globe and DGA awards for this adaptation of Stephen King's 1982 novella, The Body. Wil Wheaton stars as 12-year-old Gordie Lachance, a boy in Castle Rock, Oregon in 1959. Along with his friends Chris (River Phoenix), Teddy (Corey Feldman), and Vern (Jerry O'Connell), the boys set off into the Oregon forest in search of the body of a missing boy. The film also stars Richard Dreyfuss as narrator and adult Gordie, as well as Kiefer Sutherland, Marshall Bell, Frances Lee McCain, and John Cusack. We will deeply miss Rob Reiner. May his memory be a blessing

Todd and Cathy discuss The Sure Thing (1985), Rob Reiner's early, quietly subversive road-trip rom-com starring John Cusack as Gib Lloyd, a smart, restless college guy chasing a guaranteed hookup that slowly reveals itself to be hollow, alongside Daphne Zuniga's Alison Bradbury, a sharp, principled counterpoint who refuses to play the “cool girl.” Set in a pre-internet, pre-cell-phone America, the film captures mid-80s college culture while exploring the tension between impulse and integrity, desire and discernment, with Anthony Edwards' best friend serving as a cautionary caricature of male entitlement and Nicollette Sheridan's “sure thing” functioning more as fantasy than human. They share why Reiner softened the original raunchy premise into something more meaningful and human, and how the movie quietly suggests that growth, conversation, and shared values are the real turn-ons. Todd and Cathy also dive into their regular categories, plus their five favorite John Cusack movies and their five favorite two-person road-trip films.

Today on True Crime Today, we're covering two major cases that raise the same devastating question: What does it take for warning signs to translate into action? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—21 years with the Bureau, former Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to analyze both the Kohberger and Reiner cases through the lens of threat assessment and behavioral analysis. The families of the four murdered Idaho students have sued Washington State University, alleging the school received 13 formal complaints about Bryan Kohberger's threatening and predatory behavior and failed to meaningfully intervene. The lawsuit describes faculty predicting Kohberger would assault future students, staff creating their own "911" alert systems, women fleeing classrooms. Robin breaks down what these behaviors signaled and why institutions often choose perceived legal protection over actual safety. Then we turn to the Reiner case. Nick Reiner was under an LPS mental health conservatorship in 2020 that ended after one year. His medication was reportedly changed a month before his parents were found stabbed to death. Rob Reiner had publicly said they should have listened to Nick instead of professionals. Robin explains how trust gets exploited over decades, how families lose their ability to perceive danger, and what the Reiners may have stopped being able to see. Two cases. Two mechanisms of failure. One essential conversation about what it takes to act on what you see.#TrueCrimeToday #BryanKohberger #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #IdahoMurders #Conservatorship #WarningSignsIgnoredJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The legal strategy in the Nick Reiner case is becoming clear. When defense attorney Alan Jackson withdrew on January 7th, he told reporters his former client is "not guilty of murder" under California law—language that strongly points to a not guilty by reason of insanity defense. Nick Reiner, 32, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of his parents, legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner, at their Brentwood home on December 14th. Nick has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder, was in and out of rehab eighteen times starting at age fifteen, and was placed under a mental health conservatorship in 2020. Sources say he had recently switched psychiatric medications and was becoming more erratic. Hours before the murders, Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's home, where witnesses described bizarre behavior—repetitive questions to guests, inappropriate attire, and an argument with his father.Nick is now represented by public defender Kimberly Greene, who requested additional time to review the case. His arraignment has been delayed until February 23rd. If convicted, he faces life without parole or the death penalty. The DA's office hasn't decided whether to seek death and says it will consider the family's wishes.#RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #ReinerMurders #InsanityDefense #Schizoaffective #BrentwoodMurder #HollywoodTragedy #TrueCrimeToday #MentalHealthCrisisJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Crime Talk Store: https://scottreisch.com/crime-talk-store Hours before Rob and Michele Reiner were brutally killed, Rob allegedly told people at a Hollywood Christmas party that he was petrified of his own son. Tonight, Scott breaks down what reportedly happened at Conan O'Brien's gathering, Nick Reiner's escalating mental health and substance issues, and how a family's worst fear became a double-homicide case. We'll talk conservatorships, medication changes, the argument at the party, and what this all means for Nick's defense and possible insanity claims. Did the system fail the Reiners after every red flag was already waving? Let's talk about it. #NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrime #CrimeTalk #LegalAnalysis #MentalHealth

The warning signs in the Nick Reiner case stretch back decades. A yoga instructor who worked with the family described childhood tantrums she'd "never seen" anything like. At fifteen, Nick was physically aggressive with a rehab roommate. As an adult, he destroyed his parents' guesthouse on meth—multiple times—with what he later described as "no logic." He was in and out of rehab eighteen times by 2016. He was placed under a mental health conservatorship in 2020 for schizoaffective disorder. And hours before Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home, Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house, where witnesses say he approached guests with repetitive questions—"What's your name? Are you famous?"—stood and stared when asked to leave conversations, and wore a hoodie while everyone else was in formal attire. Sources say Nick had recently switched psychiatric medications due to weight gain, and the new medication made him more erratic. His arraignment has been delayed until February 23rd after defense attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from the case, insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder" under California law. Legal analysts expect a not guilty by reason of insanity plea. Nick faces life without parole or the death penalty if convicted.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #ReinerMurders #MentalIllness #Schizoaffective #BrentwoodMurder #HollywoodTragedy #BehavioralAnalysis #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

By the time Nick Reiner was fifteen, he'd already learned a dangerous lesson: there is no bottom, because someone will always catch you. His parents—legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner—spent decades trying to save their troubled son. Eighteen rehab stints. Private wellness instructors. Family therapy. A guesthouse on their $13.5 million Brentwood estate that sources say he destroyed multiple times and they kept repairing.On December 14, 2025, Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death. Nick was arrested that night.In this Hidden Killers deep dive, we examine who Nick Reiner really was—not the redemption story from the 2015 film Being Charlie, but the darker reality hidden behind Hollywood privilege. A rehab roommate describes him as "a fucking pompous little punk" with "no sense of gratitude." A family yoga instructor recalls childhood tantrums so intense she'd "never seen a child like it." And Nick himself, on the Dopey podcast, admitted to destroying property with "no logic" and stealing medication from the elderly.We trace the path from entitled child to alleged killer—through a 2020 mental health conservatorship, a reported medication change weeks before the murders, and a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house where multiple guests saw a man in crisis and no one called 911. This is a story about what happens when money can't buy accountability and love becomes enabling.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #HollywoodMurder #ReinerMurder #Parricide #Addiction #MentalHealthJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Former FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers Live to examine the warning signs in the Nick Reiner case—and what they reveal about the gap between recognizing danger and acting on it. Nick Reiner, 32, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the December 14th stabbing deaths of his parents, legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner. His arraignment has been delayed until February 23rd after defense attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from the case while insisting Nick is "not guilty of murder" under California law. Nick has a documented history of schizoaffective disorder, eighteen rehab stays by age 22, and a 2020 mental health conservatorship. He co-wrote the 2016 film "Being Charlie" with his father about his addiction struggles—then admitted on a podcast he wasn't actually sober during the press tour. Hours before the murders, Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's home, where witnesses described him asking repetitive questions, staring at guests, and getting into an argument with his father. Sources say he had recently changed psychiatric medications. Dreeke examines the escalation pattern—childhood tantrums, adolescent violence, property destruction, and allegedly murder—and what families should watch for when a loved one is deteriorating.#NickReiner #RobReiner #RobinDreeke #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #ReinerMurders #MicheleSingerReiner #MentalHealthCrisis #BrentwoodMurder #TrueCrimeLiJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

So here's the thing: it's a brand new episode of ATTP (And That's The Podcast). On this episode Chris, Derick, and Evan talk about the unfortunate passing of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer ​and a upcoming artist from the 60s and the mystery following his death. That's pretty much it. Some other stuff gets mentioned but they kind of just stick to these topics.

Two different systems allegedly failed to act on clear warning signs. One was an institution. The other was a family. Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke analyzes both in this extended interview—and explains what these cases reveal about how we recognize danger, and why we so often fail to respond. On the Kohberger case: The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have sued Washington State University for gross negligence and wrongful death. The lawsuit alleges WSU received 13 formal complaints about Bryan Kohberger's threatening and predatory behavior during the fall 2022 semester. Faculty allegedly predicted he would sexually abuse students if given a PhD. Staff created informal "911" alerts. Women needed security escorts. Robin—who spent 21 years with the FBI including as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—explains what those complaints should have triggered operationally and why institutions prioritize liability over safety. On the Reiner case: Nick Reiner was under LPS conservatorship in 2020, overseen by a professional fiduciary. It wasn't renewed. His medication was reportedly changed a month before his parents were found dead. Robin analyzes how someone manipulates institutional gatekeepers, how families lose threat perception over decades of managing mental illness and addiction, and what it means that Rob Reiner publicly regretted listening to professionals instead of Nick. Two failures. Two mechanisms. One conversation about the cost of inaction.#BryanKohberger #NickReiner #RobReiner #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #WSULawsuit #FBI #RobinDreeke #InstitutionalFailure #FamilyDynamicsJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob Reiner wasn't naive. He was a successful director with resources, connections, and access to the best treatment money could buy. By the end, he was publicly saying they should have listened to Nick instead of the professionals. They brought a son exhibiting erratic behavior to a party where other guests considered calling 911. They went to sleep in a house with someone who, according to sources, was in psychiatric crisis. Something fundamentally shifted in how they perceived threat.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—analyzes twenty years of family dynamics. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott delivers our most comprehensive analysis—a three-part breakdown covering Nick's individual psychology, the family dynamics that trapped the Reiners for 30 years, and systemic failures that allowed tragedy despite unlimited resources. She examines Nick's schizoaffective disorder, the medication change that reportedly destabilized him one month before the murders, and the psychology of someone who admits killing his parents but believes his incarceration is a conspiracy.Part two breaks down how the family "grew used to" behavior that alarmed strangers and what three decades cycling through 18-plus facilities does to parents. Part three exposes why the mental health system failed. Dr. Drew said 30-day programs were "almost meaningless" for Nick. Alexis Haines said he belonged in a hospital. The care he needed may not even exist. When does supporting a dangerous adult child stop being love?#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #ThreatBlindness #FamilyDynamics #PsychologyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode, I'm joined once again by Kathrine Narducci and Tara Cannistraci for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with a very serious and emotional topic before taking a sharp turn into something completely unexpected. We begin by talking about the tragic case involving Rob Reiner and his wife, the role of severe mental illness, and how situations like this force parents to confront uncomfortable truths. We talk honestly about warning signs, denial, responsibility, and how difficult it can be to accept that something may be deeply wrong — even within your own family. It's a heavy conversation, but an important one, especially for parents trying to stay aware and present. From there, the episode shifts gears into a completely different topic — doomsday prepping. We talk about preparedness, paranoia versus practicality, and why more people are thinking about self-sufficiency, emergencies, and being ready for the unexpected. The contrast between the two topics leads to some thoughtful moments, some humor, and a lot of honest opinions. As always, the conversation is real, unfiltered, and driven by curiosity. It's one of those episodes that goes places you don't expect — and that's what makes it interesting.

What is a perfect movie to you? For us, the obvious answer is The Princess Bride. Of all the movies we haven't covered yet on PCY, this is most inconceivable omission. Well, here we go! Get out your swords, put on your six-fingered gloves, and fetch that pitcher; it's time talk about this Rob Reiner classic starring Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, Mandy Patinkin, Andre the Giant, Christopher Guest, Billy Crystal, Carol Kane, and others.

This week, we're continuing our look at some of our favorite Rob Reiner films with 1992's A Few Good Men. Tom Cruise and Demi Moore star as military lawyers who intends to prove that two US Marines charged with murdering a fellow soldier, were only following the orders of their base commander (Jack Nicholson). Tune in and find out what we thought of it.  

Rob Reiner wasn't naive. He was a successful director with resources, connections, and access to the best treatment money could buy. By the end, he was publicly saying they should have listened to Nick instead of the professionals. They brought a son who'd been exhibiting erratic behavior to a party full of friends. They went to sleep in a house with someone who, according to sources, was in the middle of a psychiatric crisis. Something fundamentally shifted in how they perceived threat.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—analyzes what happened inside that family over twenty years. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to sleeping in the same house on December 13th, 2025? Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and manufactured guilt. The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control over the family story.But the system abandoned them too. Nick was under court-ordered conservatorship in 2020. A judge found him gravely disabled. A licensed fiduciary controlled his treatment. On paper, this is the system working. In reality, California's conservatorship expires after one year with no follow-up. Families can't petition for renewal. The state doesn't track what happens next.A California study found 83% of conserved patients remain stable under conservatorship. After termination? Only 43% stay stable. That's a 57% relapse rate—and the state calls follow-up care "voluntary." Nick's conservatorship ended in 2021. For four years, no one was watching. When he moved back in with his parents, when sources say he changed medications a month before December 14th—there was no legal mechanism for intervention. The system declared victory and walked away.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #ThreatBlindness #Conservatorship #Manipulation #SystemFailureJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Two stories have come out in the press that expose Nick Reiner's motive for the murder of his parents, famed director Rob Reiner and photographer Michelle Singer Reiner. An ex-roommate of Reiner's from a ritzy rehab describes a 15 year-old Reiner as being filled with “seething anger”, entitlement and hatred for his parents. The former roommate also goes on to describe an incident where Reiner tried to physically attack him. In another article, 14 people who knew Reiner describe a last Thanksgiving dinner at the Reiner's. The article paints a portrait of a man who felt entitled to the lifestyle his parents earned. Interestingly, no one who knew Reiner described a man who couldn't discern right from wrong.

In this episode of High Expectations, we continue our In Memoriam series by honoring Rob Reiner with a look at The Princess Bride. A film that blends fairy tale sincerity, sharp comedy, and endlessly quotable moments, it has earned its place as a true cult classic.Through the High Expectations lens, we examine why the movie works so well, from Reiner's confident direction to its perfect balance of heart and humor. We reflect on what this film says about Reiner's legacy and why it remains timeless decades later.As you wish.Give us a follow on Instagram and TikTok: @high.expectations.pod on both platformsReach out with comments or suggestions at podcast.highexpectations@gmail.comMusic courtesy of Vince Sasso of the Vince Sasso Trio(check them out on Instagram! @vincesassotrio)

The Reiners called police twice in 2019. A welfare check. A mental health call. That means at some point they perceived enough danger or dysfunction to bring in law enforcement. But by December 2025, they're sharing a home with Nick after watching him act erratically at a party. They went to bed. What happened to their threat calibration? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins Hidden Killers to analyze the long con—how a manipulative person reshapes family reality over two decades until danger becomes normalized. Robin spent 21 years with the FBI, including as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and he specializes in understanding how trust gets exploited. Rob Reiner said publicly that he regretted listening to addiction specialists and professionals instead of his son. Robin explains what it looks like when someone has successfully trained their family to distrust outside expertise—and how long that takes. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father in 2015, a movie about their own relationship and his addiction. That's extraordinary narrative control—he got to shape the public story of his illness with his father's collaboration. What does that level of influence tell you about the power dynamics? The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Robin explains how manufactured guilt functions as a manipulation tool inside families—and why legitimate frustration with a broken treatment system becomes a vulnerability that can be exploited. The surviving children don't want the death penalty. Even now—protection. Robin weighs in on what that means.#HiddenKillers #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #FamilyManipulation #ThreatBlindness #BeingCharlie #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

We're going live to discuss the hardest question in the Reiner case: How did accomplished, intelligent people with resources and access to the best treatment end up sleeping in the same house with someone in crisis—hours before they were found stabbed to death? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—21 years with the Bureau, former Chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us to analyze what happened inside the Reiner family over two decades. How does a family go from calling police in 2019 to going to bed on December 13th, 2025, after watching their son behave erratically at a party? Rob Reiner publicly said he regretted listening to professionals instead of Nick. Robin explains how someone trains their family to distrust outside expertise over time—the mechanics of it. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father, shaping the public narrative of his illness. That's extraordinary influence over the family story. What does that tell you about power dynamics? There's a concept in Robin's world about how trust gets exploited—reciprocity, vulnerability, shared identity. Nick had all of those levers plus manufactured guilt. The Reiners blamed themselves for treatment failures. Robin explains how that guilt becomes a tool. We'll take your questions live. And we'll address the question Robin can't stop thinking about: Could anyone have broken through to the Reiners? If you'd sat down with them a month before—what would they have needed to hear to see the danger they were living with?#LIVE #NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RobinDreeke #FBI #FamilyDynamics #ThreatBlindness #TrueCrimeLive #ManipulationJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob and Michele Reiner were stabbed to death in their Brentwood mansion. Their son Nick - diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, fresh off a medication change - is charged with their murders. The family narrative focuses on mental illness. But the violence pattern tells a different story.Sources describe the crime scene as so brutal it disturbed veteran investigators. TMZ's Harvey Levin says it had "all the markings of a meth murder." Nick was arrested in a known drug area fifteen miles from home. And his own public statements document years of stimulant abuse - including violent rampages while high on cocaine.On Hidden Killers, we break down what forensic research says about overkill violence, what clinical literature reveals about the catastrophic intersection of schizoaffective disorder and stimulant use, and why the circumstantial evidence emerging from this case demands harder questions.Nick Reiner was under a court-ordered mental health conservatorship in 2020. He talked openly about heroin, crack, cocaine heart attacks, and destroying property during drug binges. His medication was changed a month before his parents died.Was this a psychiatric break? A meth-fueled rage? Or the catastrophic combination that dual diagnosis experts fear most?We examine the evidence, the research, and the questions the family narrative doesn't answer.#HiddenKillers #NickReiner #RobReinerMurder #TrueCrimePodcast #MethPsychosis #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #BrentwoodMurders #ForensicPsychology #DualDiagnosis #HollywoodMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The movie Misery (1990) is one of the best Stephen King movie adaptations ever made. Directed by Rob Reiner, the film is anchored by unforgettable performances from James Caan as Paul Sheldon and Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes—a role that's become iconic in horror and thriller cinema. Set mostly in a single room, Misery shows how smart directing, tight pacing, and strong acting can create nonstop tension. We talk about the film's clever filmmaking, its most unforgettable scenes, and why it remains a perfect example of suspense-driven storytelling done right.Stick around until the end of the discussion for a short round of trivia!Safe travels, nomads.

This comes after a tsunami of defense favorable press that aims to absolves Reiner of criminal responsibility in the murder of his famous father, actor and director Rob Reiner and his mother, photographer Michelle Singer Reiner.

New reporting says Nick Reiner is "almost childlike," delirious, and reportedly not competent to stand trial for the brutal stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Tonight, Scott breaks down what "not competent to proceed" actually means, how a medication change may have helped flip this case on its head, and what comes next: psych hospital, insanity plea, or a long road back to trial. We'll walk through the crime, the conservatorship history, the TMZ documentary claims, and why competency and insanity are not the same thing under California law.
