According to reports citing law enforcement sources, Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner had recently allowed their son, Nick Reiner, to move back into their Brentwood home just days before their deaths.

ABC News reported that the 32-year-old had returned to the family’s South Chadbourne Avenue property as a temporary arrangement after what sources described as renewed personal struggles.

Friends familiar with the situation said the move was intended to help stabilize him during a difficult period.

Investigators are now examining that timeline closely, as Nick Reiner has been identified by multiple outlets as a suspect in the case.

Police have emphasized that no arrests have been made and that the investigation remains ongoing.

Authorities have confirmed there were no signs of forced entry at the residence, a detail that has narrowed the focus to individuals with direct access to the home.

Nick Reiner has previously spoken publicly about long-standing battles with addiction and periods of homelessness, including times when he chose not to return home. Sources said his recent move back into the house marked a significant change in that pattern.

The developments have drawn attention to Being Charlie, the 2015 film co-written by Nick and directed by Rob Reiner, which depicted a family grappling with a son’s struggles. The Reiner family has not commented on reports about Nick’s living situation as authorities continue their investigation.
