Eerie video shows Nick Reiner calmly strolling near parents’ home hours before gruesome murders
Nick Reiner was captured on surveillance footage walking away from his parent’s Brentwood home just hours before they were brutally murdered, leaving the Hollywood community in shock. The 32-year-old was seen casually strolling by a gas station in blue jeans, a long-sleeve shirt, and a baseball cap, carrying a backpack, shortly before midnight on Saturday.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, Rob and Michele were killed early Sunday morning. The new surveillance footage places Nick near the family home just before the tragic event. The gas station where he was spotted is only a few blocks away from the Reiner’s residence, and Nick was seen walking away from the property.
Sources confirmed that earlier on the same night, Nick and his parents were involved in a heated argument at a holiday party hosted by Conan O’Brien. Reports also indicate that Nick had a confrontation with comedian Bill Hader at the same event, storming off in anger. It remains unclear when exactly the family left the party that Saturday night.
The bodies of Rob and Michele Reiner were discovered by their daughter, Romy, around 3:30 p.m. on Sunday. The couple, who had been married since 1989, were found with their throats slashed. Romy reportedly warned authorities that Nick was dangerous, adding another layer of complexity to the investigation.
Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department visited the gas station near the Reiner’s home on Monday morning to gather possible surveillance footage of Nick in the area. The timestamp on the footage was found to be incorrect, showing a time one hour ahead of the local time. Nick had checked into The Pierside Santa Monica Hotel around 4 a.m. on Sunday, where he displayed erratic behavior at check-in.
Later investigations revealed a blood-filled hotel room, indicating a violent event had taken place. Nick Reiner was arrested by the LAPD Gang and Narcotics Unit around 9:15 p.m. on Sunday night. Dramatic footage captured the moment officers apprehended him near LA’s Exposition Park neighborhood. He was charged with two counts of murder for the deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele.
The shocking events surrounding the Reiner family have left the Hollywood community reeling, as the investigation into the tragic murders continues to unfold.
