Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell are set to hold a press conference at 1 PM PT to update the public on the Rob and Michele Reiner double-murder case.
As we reported … Rob and Michele’s 32-year-old son Nick was arrested on suspicion of killing his parents after they were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, California home Sunday afternoon.
Nick’s first court appearance in connection with the murders was scheduled for today, but was taken off the books after he was not medically cleared to appear in court. His attorney told TMZ this morning he has not received any filing yet from prosecutors.
TMZ broke the story … Rob and Michele’s daughter, Romy, discovered their bodies and called 911 around 3:40 PM Sunday. Romy told police Nick was “dangerous” and should be considered a suspect.
While Nick lived at home with his parents, Romy noted to the police Nick wasn’t at the home when she arrived, insinuating he fled.
We now know Nick checked into The Pierside Santa Monica hotel around 4 AM Sunday, using his credit card. The reservation was made for just a day, but Nick never formally checked out. When the staff came into his room later Sunday morning, they found the shower “full of blood” and blood on the bed.
Nick was arrested about 6 hours after his parents’ bodies were discovered. He’s held on suicide watch at Men’s Central Jail in L.A. without bond.
