According to the New York Times, 27-year-old Romy arrived at the home, located in Los Angeles, on the afternoon of Sunday, December 14. She had reportedly been contacted by a massage therapist who couldn’t get into the property for a scheduled appointment.
After accessing the house, Romy found the body of her father, beloved actor-director Rob Reiner. People Magazine report that she then fled the property without realizing that her mother, Michele, also lay dead inside.
A family source revealed to the Times she was later informed by a paramedic that Michele had also been murdered.
The deaths of the couple sent shockwaves around the world. Both Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, were said to have been found with lacerations consistent with the use of a knife.
Hours following Romy’s aforesaid discovery, police apprehended Nick Reiner, the couple’s son, near the University of Southern California campus.
The 32-year-old, speculated to have a history of mental health issues and alleged substance abuse, was witnessed in a heated argument with his father the night before the slayings, at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party.
On Tuesday, December 16, Nick was charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special allegation of using a knife. If convicted, he faces life in prison without the possibility of parole, while prosecutors have not yet made a decision regarding whether or not he might face the death penalty.
