The children of Hollywood icon Rob Reiner and his wife Michele have spoken out, expressing gratitude for the public's support and announcing plans for a memorial service following the brutal murder of their parents.
Children's Heartfelt Statement and Memorial Plans
A spokesperson for Jake and Romy Reiner released a statement to the Daily Mail, conveying the siblings' profound thanks. "Jake and Romy Reiner remain grateful for the outpouring of love and support they have received," the representative said. The statement also confirmed that the pair "will share information about a memorial service honoring their parents at a later date."
Tragic Discovery and Swift Arrest
The couple were discovered deceased at their Los Angeles residence on Sunday, December 14. The grim discovery was made by their 27-year-old daughter, Romy, who found her parents' bodies at approximately 3.30pm that afternoon.
In a rapid development, Nick was taken into custody just hours later. He now faces the severe charge of two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths.
Background of the Accused
Court documents and family sources reveal a troubling history for the accused. He has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and attended rehabilitation programmes at least 17 times in recent years. It is reported that he had been residing in the guesthouse on his parents' property in the time leading up to the tragic incident.
This remains a developing story as investigators continue to piece together the events that led to this devastating loss for the Reiner family and the wider community.
