A source with knowledge of the situation says Nick Reiner made an emergency call to authorities following a stressful encounter at a party linked to comedian Conan O’Brien shortly before his parents were found fatally stabbed in their Los Angeles home.
According to the account, Reiner dialed 911 during or immediately after the social event, indicating that the interaction had left him disturbed or anxious. Details of the party itself and what occurred during the 911 call have not been publicly released by law enforcement.
Police later responded to a welfare check at the Reiners’ residence, where they discovered filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer suffering from multiple stab wounds. Both were pronounced dead at the scene. Nick Reiner was subsequently taken into custody in connection with the investigation.
Investigators are still piecing together the sequence of events leading up to the stabbings and examining all available evidence, including witness accounts and communication logs. Authorities have not yet disclosed a motive but are actively reviewing details from the days before the tragedy.
The reported emergency call adds to the timeline being assembled by detectives as they work to understand what triggered the fatal incident. The Los Angeles Police Department continues its inquiry, and officials say more information may be released as the investigation progresses.
