Nick Reiner’s family turns on him as he’s denied chance for bail: LIVE

Nick Reiner will remain in a Los Angeles jail after his initial $4million bail was suddenly changed Monday afternoon to a no-bail hold after he was taken into custody in connection with the grisly murders of his parents. 

LAPD confirmed that Nick, 32, was ‘responsible’ for Rob Reiner and Michele Singer’s deaths. 

Although officials did not release any further details about the murders, a police source who spoke to the Associated Press believe the couple suffered brutal stab wounds and were found with their throats slit on Sunday night. 

At the time of Nick’s arrest, his sister Romy, 28, who discovered their parents bodies, told investigators her brother ‘should be a suspect’ because he was ‘dangerous.’ 

In a 2018 podcast appearance, Nick once revealed that he destroyed the family home he was living in while high on meth. ‘It’s not much of a story. I got totally spun out on uppers — I think it was coke and something else — and I was up for days on end,’ he revealed, before adding that he ‘punched’ various appliances around the guest house. 

President Donald Trump claimed Reiner and Singer’s murders were the result of what he called ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ in a post on Truth Social on Monday.
