A newly released documentary is shedding light on previously undisclosed details surrounding the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, as their son Nick Reiner awaits legal proceedings and has not publicly addressed the charges against him.
Titled The Reiner Murders: What Really Happened, the documentary examines events leading up to the killings, focusing on Nick Reiner’s personal and medical history in the years before the tragedy. The film explores factors that investigators and media reports say may have played a role in the case.
According to the documentary, Reiner, a 32-year-old filmmaker and writer, was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2020 and had recently undergone changes to his prescribed medication. Media reports cited in the film suggest the adjustment may have coincided with increasingly unstable behavior in the weeks leading up to the incident.
TMZ reports that individuals familiar with the situation described Reiner’s behavior as becoming more erratic roughly a month before his parents were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home. The documentary also references reports that Reiner had spent time at a rehabilitation and psychiatric facility weeks earlier.

According to the outlet, medication changes were made due to side effects, including significant weight gain. The revised prescription is alleged to have worsened his condition, though authorities have not publicly confirmed a direct causal link.
The documentary further suggests that Rob and Michele Reiner were aware their son was experiencing a serious mental health crisis, but sources indicate they may have struggled to determine how best to intervene.
