Nick Reiner, 32, was charged with two counts of murder and appeared in court where a judge postponed his arraignment until January. Prosecutors allege he fatally stabbed his 78-year-old father, Rob, and 70-year-old mother, Michele, sometime in the early-morning hours of Sunday. The killings occurred several hours after an argument between Rob and Nick at a Hollywood Christmas party, according to several family friends. The bodies were found in the master bedroom around 3:40 p.m. Sunday. A massage therapist discovered the scene after a missed appointment and contacted the couple's daughter, Romy, who called 911. The Los Angeles County medical examiner confirmed the deaths were homicides.
"Prosecutors allege Nick Reiner fatally stabbed his 78-year-old father and 70-year-old mother sometime in the early-morning hours of Sunday. No precise time has been released. The killings occurred several hours after Rob and Nick got into some kind of argument at a Hollywood Christmas party, several family friends told The Times. The details of the argument are unclear - and some friends said too much emphasis had been placed on the incident."
"Discovery: A massage therapist arrived at the couple's home Sunday afternoon for a weekly appointment with the couple. When no one responded to her at the gate of the Brentwood home, the therapist called the Reiners' daughter, 27-year-old Romy, who lives nearby. She discovered the gruesome scene and had a friend call 911, according to a source who was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation."
