Rob and Michele Reiner’s 28-year-old daughter Romy shared some heartbreaking final photos of her parents, taken just weeks before their tragic deaths.
The film director and photographer were brutally killed at their home in Los Angeles on Sunday (14th December). They were both found with multiple stab wounds by their daughter, and their son Nick has since been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell revealed he has been “booked for murder” in a statement to Variety on Monday. He also said an investigation at the Reiners’ home “further revealed” that Nick Reiner “was responsible for their deaths”. He is currently being held at Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

“Thankful for family, health, and followers of any age. Not thankful for the president and the state of our country,” she tragically wrote in the caption.
People are sharing their love in the comments following the tragic news, with one person writing: “I’m very sorry, Romy. Your father was a great man.”
