Legendary director Rob Reiner, wife found stabbed to death in LA home, son eyed as person of interest

LOS ANGELES — Legendary director Rob Reiner and his longtime wife have been found stabbed to death inside their Brentwood home and investigators are eyeing the couple’s troubled adult son as a person of interest, according to law enforcement sources.

Officers were called to the home Sunday afternoon, where they discovered a man and woman with stab wounds, according to sources.

The Los Angeles Fire Department told NBC Los Angeles that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead inside the home.

Post sources confirmed the bodies discovered were the longtime couple, who married in 1989. The couple’s 32-year-old son and screenwriter Nick Reiner is a person of interest in the deadly stabbing, the sources added.

Reiner, 78, is best known for directing a slew of classic ’80s and ’90s hit films, including “When Harry Met Sally,” “The Princess Bride,” “This is Spinal Tap” and “A Few Good Men.”

He first rose to fame for his role as Mike “Meathead” Stivic on the CBS sitcom “All in the Family,” which landed him two Emmy Awards.

Many of the comments in the Post article are not complementary towards reiner, accusing him of spreading "a lot of hate, violence, and vitriol."

Yes, he was a leftwingnut most of his life. But as an actor he effectively stereotyped the typical middle-class counter-culture hippie of the time (1970’s) with his very effective portrayal as Archie Bunker’s wacko son-in-law. Despite his politics, parricide and matricide are horrible crimes, and, if Nick Reiner was the killer, being executed by your own child is a terrible way to die.

there is obviously manipulation of how this is presented coming from Newsom and Bass - i am sure they don’t want to offend family, presumably big Dem donors.

The guy and his wife were just murdered, let some time pass...before spouting facts about him.

I wonder if that means he is on SSRIs.

Truly an exemplar for the liberal mindset. He’s the most sensitive, wonderful, big-hearted man in the world, but he can’t raise his own family properly and the results of his actions come back to haunt him.

RIP Rob Reiner and his wife, though. Spinal Tap is one of the funniest movies ever and The Princess Bride as well.

If the son has schizophrenia or other type of psychopathy, then it’s very likely he did kill the parents.

Drug use is very damaging to those with mental health issues.
