You're listening in to the Dateline Story Meeting.
Let's jump in here.
Our team is catching up on breaking crime news. How quickly do they get to the brother and wife? What would be his motive is what I'm wondering.
They can find no skeletons in his closet.
Welcome to Dateline True Crime Weekly. I'm Lester Holt. It's December 18th, and here's what's on our docket. In Massachusetts, the closing chapter in the trial of Brian Walsh, the art swindler accused of murdering and dismembering his wife. We've got a verdict.
We saw the defense team walk in with no word. Walsh came in with a bailiff, shackled.
In Dateline Roundup, the defense team in the Sandra Birchmore case makes a surprising request and Karen Reed's SUV is back in the news.
The car was in disrepair, including a missing radio and the infamous broken taillight.
Plus, Keith Morrison will be here to talk about his latest podcast, Something About Carrie. They had had a kind of a little flirtation. It had a sort of a quasi-date, and then all hell broke loose. But first, we head to California for the latest on a double murder that has left Hollywood reeling. Actor-director Rob Reiner was the genius behind some of Hollywood's most beloved films, from This Is Spinal Tap to When Harry Met Sally. It was on the set of When Harry Met Sally where he met his wife, photographer Michelle Singer Reiner. They raised three children at their home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, and that's where police found Rob and Michelle dead on Sunday afternoon. Tonight, as we come on the air, we're following several breaking stories, including the murder of director Rob Reiner and his wife.
Six hours later, U.S. Marshals apprehended the man investigators suspect was Rob and Michelle's killer, their very own son, Nick. NBC News Entertainment correspondent Chloe Maloss has been following the case closely since it first broke and is here to tell us what she's learned. Thanks for joining us, Chloe. Thanks for having me, Lester. Chloe, it's such a tragic story. Tributes have been pouring in since the deaths of Rob and Michelle were announced. Tell us a bit more about them. You know, Lester, it's so tragic. Rob Reiner, he came from a storied entertainment family. His father, Carl Reiner, was a very famous comedian. His mother, Estelle, was an actress and singer. And a really good family friend was a man by the name of Norman Lear.
And Norman Lear ended up casting him in the 1970s hit sitcom All in the Family. He played Meathead, and he won two Emmys for that. And then he went on to direct movies like The Princess Bride, A Few Good Men, When Harry Met Sally. And that's the movie where he met his wife, Michelle. He and Michelle went on to have... an incredible marriage. They were known for their political activism, their philanthropy, and it's just so tragic. Yeah. I got a chance to interview him at one point. What a terrific guy, very friendly, very affable. What do they used to call him?
