Police were called repeatedly to Rob Reiner's home before killings

For over ten years, police had been responding to various disturbances at the Los Angeles mansion of Rob and Michele Reiner, long before the tragic discovery of their deaths, as uncovered by the Daily Mail.

According to LAPD records accessed by the Daily Mail, officers were dispatched to the couple’s $13.5 million Brentwood estate on at least six occasions. These incidents occurred in 2013, 2014, 2017, twice in 2019, and again on December 14, the very day the Reiners were found dead.

The nature of these calls ranged from reports of alleged family violence to welfare and mental health checks, illustrating a pattern of concern at the residence.

A source familiar with the LAPD’s operations shared with the Daily Mail, “There have been numerous service calls to the Reiner home.”

“The West LA division of the LAPD has been frequently called to that address,” the source added.

Nick Reiner, 32, charged with murdering his parents Rob and Michele with a knife, had been living in the guest house at the property on and off for years, sources close to the family say.

The revelation about police callouts suggests there had been trouble at the home well before the legendary movie director and his wife were found with their throats reportedly cut on Sunday afternoon.

Among the list of incidents is a call on May 5, 2017 at 4.04pm with the code ‘BFV INVEST’, meaning a battery of family violence investigation.

 The logs say that a police report was written up about the incident.

A September 27, 2019 call received at 4.24pm was given the category ‘918M’, for mental health-related check on a male subject.

After attending, officers marked the case as not requiring any further police action.

Earlier that year on February 25 officers were called to perform a welfare check at 9.51pm.

Police responded, and reported the incident to a supervisor.

Another welfare check was called in on August 4, 2013 at 3.31am. An officer wrote up a police report about the incident, which was simply labeled ‘door’ in the logs obtained by the Daily Mail.

One apparently innocuous callout was a noise complaint labeled ‘party’, at 12.30pm on February 2, 2014, and was resolved with the officer’s comment ‘gone on arrival’ in the logs.

‘Brentwood is a fairly quiet neighborhood. You don’t generally get a lot of calls for service at a home,’ the source close to the LAPD said. 

The police call logs also include the final, fatal call on December 14, when the bodies of Reiner and his wife Michele were discovered at their home

‘In this case, the officers had a recollection that they responded to the home on numerous occasions.’

‘It was significant, the number of times they visited that home.’

Earlier on Tuesday, the LA County Medical Examiner’s office released Rob and Michele Reiner’s death certificates, revealing their bodies were cremated after their brutal murders.

Authorities previously said that the couple passed away after suffering ‘multiple sharp force injuries’, and newly-released death certificates add that this was caused ‘with a knife, by another’. 

Their remains were given to their oldest son Jake, and they were cremated at Mount Sinai Mortuary, according to the New York Post. 

Both of their deaths have been ruled homicides, with the place of death listed as their residence.

Nick was arrested on December 14 and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of his 78-year-old father and 70-year-old mother.

The couple's younger son, Nick Reiner, 32, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and made his first court appearance on December 17

Prosecutors added special circumstances of multiple murders and use of a dangerous weapon, a knife, meaning, if he is convicted, Nick could face life in prison without the possibility of parole or even the death penalty.

He made a brief court appearance on Wednesday, wearing an anti-suicide vest. He did not enter a plea.

Nick’s defense attorney, Alan Jackson, asked the judge for a continuance, saying that he ‘needed more time’ to prepare his case. 

When the judge asked a blank-faced Nick ‘if he agreed that his arraignment should be continued’, he answered, ‘Yes, your honor.’

His arraignment was pushed to January 7 and he was ordered to be held in jail without bail.

Jackson addressed the media after the hearing and asked people not to ‘rush to judgment’ about the case.
