Los Angeles police reportedly showed up at Nick Reiner's hotel room in hopes of gathering additional evidence. According to TMZ, an LAPD robbery-homicide detective arrived at The Pierside Santa Monica hotel in the early morning hours of Monday, December 15, and told the front desk clerk he was there to investigate Nick's room. The detective was concerned Nick may have disposed of a weapon connected to a violent crime, TMZ claimed. Hotel staff took the detective up to Nick's room to search the area for a weapon, blood and other possible evidence. Rob Reiner and Wife Michele's Deaths: Everything We Know So Far According to TMZ, police believed Nick may have "cleaned up" and "disposed of evidence" at the property after he reportedly checked in at 4:15 a.m. on Sunday, December 14. Us Weekly has reached out to Los Angeles police for comment. Nick's parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, were found stabbed to death at their home in Brentwood, California, on Sunday afternoon. (The property is located less than five miles away from The Pierside Santa Monica hotel.) One day later, news broke that Nick was arrested on a murder charge. Police later released a statement revealing the 32-year-old was taken into custody on Sunday evening around 9:15 p.m. local time. Mega Agency On Tuesday, December 16, Los Angeles district attorney Nathan Hochman announced in a press conference that Nick has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He is facing life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Powerhouse attorney Alan Jackson, known for defending Karen Read, has been hired to defend him in court. Although Nick was seen in court for the first time on Wednesday, December 17, he did not enter a plea. Jackson told the court that it was "too early" to do so. Nick's arraignment was continued until January 7, 2026. Billy Crystal Breaks Silence on Rob Reiner's Death in Heartfelt Tribute "This is a devastating tragedy that has befallen the Reiner family," Jackson told reporters outside the courthouse. "We all recognized that our hearts go out to the entire Reiner family. There are very very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case. Those need to be thoroughly, but very carefully dealt with and examined and looked at and analyzed." As police continue their investigation into Rob and Michele's deaths, family and friends continue to mourn the death of a Hollywood power couple. Rob and Michele's kids Jake and Romy Reiner broke their silence on the couple's tragic deaths on Wednesday. (Rob was also dad to Tracy Reiner, whose mother was Penny Marshall.) Julia Louis-Dreyfus and More React to the Deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner "Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience," the siblings said in a statement via TMZ. "They weren't just our parents; they were our best friends. We are grateful for the outpouring of condolences, kindness and support we have received not only from family and friends but people from all walks of life." Rob and Michele's children also asked for privacy as Nick's legal case begins. "We now ask for respect and privacy, for speculation to be tempered with compassion and humanity, and for our parents to be remembered for the incredible lives they lived and the love they gave," they concluded.
