Thanks for having me.
You're right.
It's an absolute tragedy, and there are a lot of questions right now.
But what we do know is that on Sunday, the authorities were called to Rob Reiner's home in Brentwood, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.
And the first information that came out was that there were two people
deceased individuals inside.
And they listed the ages, but not initially the identities.
But the ages matched up roughly with those of Rob Reiner, the Hollywood director, and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner, who is a photographer and a producer.
And later that night, on Sunday night, their son, Nick, was arrested.
And eventually, police said they were investigating his role in their deaths.
And then on Tuesday, prosecutors announced that they intended to charge Nick Reiner with two counts of first-degree murder.
And the son, Nick Reiner, had a long documented history of drug addiction.
And, you know, that story had been out there for years.
He had struggled since he was a teenager.
He had been in and out of rehab.
He had gone through bouts of homelessness when he didn't want to be in the rehab that his parents wanted him to be in.
But he eventually made his way back home and started living in his parents' guest house.
And what I'm told is they had a very tight knit, warm household.
