Police were reportedly called to Rob and Michelle Singer Reiner’s home at least six times over the course of several years starting in 2013.
According to LAPD records obtained by the Daily Mail, officers were called to the Reiners’ home in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood twice in 2013, 2014, 2017 and 2019, and again on Dec. 14, the day the two were murdered.
According to the report, a welfare check was conducted on August 4, 2013 at 3:31 a.m., and another welfare check was called on February 25, 2019 at 9:51 p.m.
More alarming calls reportedly occurred on May 5, 2017 at 4:04 p.m. for a series of domestic violence investigations, and on September 27, 2019 at 4:24 p.m., police were called for a mental health-related evaluation of a male subject.
Rob and Michelle were found stabbed to death in their home by their 28-year-old daughter Romy Reiner.
Their son Nick, 32, was arrested on December 14 in connection with his famous parents’ deaths and was later charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Nick has been open about his struggle with drug addiction over the years, first entering rehab at the age of 15.
“I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas,” Nick told People magazine in a 2016 interview, recounting his experience in and out of shelters, refusing to return to rehab for drug addiction.
“I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It wasn’t fun,” he added.
Nick co-wrote the 2015 semi-autobiographical film “Being Charlie,” about about 20 rehab visits.
During an appearance on the Dopey podcast in 2018, he revealed that he once went into a drug-induced rage and “destroyed” his parents’ guest house while “high on meth.”
But Robb said in an interview with NPR in September that Nick had been clean for six years.
Nick was also diagnosed with schizophrenia before his parents’ deaths, and the medication he was taking caused him to exhibit “erratic and dangerous” behavior, TMZ reported.
Sources told the outlet that Nick was being treated by a psychiatrist for mental illness and that his behavior had become “alarming” in the weeks leading up to the stabbings of his parents.
About a month before the murder, doctors changed Nick’s medication, at which point he reportedly became “insane.”
According to death certificates released by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on December 23, Rob and Michelle died “within minutes” of “multiple sharp force injuries” caused by “another person’s knife.”
Nick is scheduled to return to court on January 7th for arraignment.
