Nick Reiner, the son of Hollywood director Rob Reiner, checked into a luxurious beach hotel in Santa Monica after allegedly murdering his parents in their Los Angeles mansion. The 32-year-old was described as “tweaked out” and jittery when he arrived at the Pierside Hotel, located just steps away from the iconic Santa Monica Pier.
Despite the upscale amenities of the hotel, including an indoor fire pit and stunning views of the beach, Nick seemed oblivious to his surroundings. He rented a room on the second floor, where he later covered the windows with bed sheets to block out the view. Hotel staff discovered blood in the room after Nick had left, indicating a violent crime had taken place.
Law enforcement sources believe that Nick killed his parents sometime between leaving a holiday party and checking into the hotel. The argument with his parents may have been over his erratic behavior and the need for him to seek help. Security camera footage showed him leaving the house late at night and buying a drink at a nearby gas station before checking into the hotel.
After spending some time at the hotel, Nick was later arrested at a gas station across town. He was placed on suicide watch and missed his scheduled court appearance due to medical reasons. The investigation into the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner continues as Nick remains in custody.
The tragic events surrounding the Reiner family have shocked the entertainment industry and the public alike. The senseless loss of two beloved figures has left many wondering what could have driven their own son to commit such a heinous act. As the case unfolds, more details are sure to emerge, shedding light on the dark and troubled mind of Nick Reiner.
