Legendary director Rob Reiner, wife found stabbed to death in LA home, son eyed as person of interest
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 cops and 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.
The ages match those of Reiner and his wife, Michele, and 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.
Nick has been open about his issues battling drug addiction and homelessness in the past.
“I was homeless in Maine. I was homeless in New Jersey. I was homeless in Texas I spent nights on the street. I spent weeks on the street. It was not fun,” he told People in an interview in 2016.
The LAFD paramedics rushed to the home around 3:30 p.m. Shortly after, officers with the LAPD responded to the home following reports of an “ambulance death investigation,” the outlet reported.
Detectives from LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division were also at the scene, a spokesperson for the department said. A knife is believed to have been used in the attack, sources said.
LAPD’s RHD is a unit responsible for handling high-profile investigations across the city.

Gavin Newsom Hands GOP a 2028 Gift With Statement on Healthcare for Illegals
California is funneling billions of federal taxpayer dollars into paying for illegal immigrants’ healthcare, a new study claims.
One of the biggest whoppers Democrats told during the Schumer Shutdown was that they were not fighting for taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegals as part of the demands they wanted to be met to end the shutdown.
“Federal law prohibits the use of Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act to provide health insurance in any way, shape, or form to undocumented immigrants—period, full stop. Democrats aren’t trying to change that,” Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) proclaimed at the time.
Though that is exactly what Jeffries and his fellow Democrats were trying to do, it was clear that the subject of taxpayer funding of illegal immigrant healthcare was a sore spot and for good reason, considering the likelihood that Jeffries knew the longer the shutdown dragged out, the more frustrated the American people would get with Democrats holding up funding for the military and SNAP recipients just to get some assurances on healthcare for illegals.
Fast forward to December, however, and we have California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) admitting he was proud that his state was the first in the nation to funnel billions in taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrant healthcare:
It was revealed back in March how the Golden State was exploiting a loophole in Medicaid to help fund their healthcare for illegals Medi-Cal scheme (note: Medi-Cal, which is the state’s Medicaid program and which is open to legal California residents as well, is paid for by a mixture of state and federal funds):
California is funneling billions of federal taxpayer dollars into paying for illegal immigrants’ healthcare, a new study claims.
“They are exploiting an existing loophole within law,” Paul Winfree, president and CEO of the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), told Fox News Digital.
“States can do these provider taxes to funnel money back to the state, that they are then using to pay for, to put illegal immigrants on Medicaid. That’s quite literally what’s going on.”
An HHS Inspector General Report from May 2024 found that “California Improperly Claimed $52.7 Million in Federal Medicaid Reimbursement for Capitation Payments Made on Behalf of Noncitizens With Unsatisfactory Immigration Status.”
The money was allegedly paid back to the feds the next month.
Back to Newsom’s more recent boast, there were some good hot takes on X in response:
One thing that undoubtedly will come out of Newsom saying the quiet part out loud after Congressional Democrats repeatedly lied about their desire to fund healthcare for illegal immigrants is that this statement is going to be used in GOP ads during the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election campaign season, where Newsom presumably will be a candidate himself:
