Reiner family associate details events before and after killings

December 17, 2025

On Sunday afternoon, a massage therapist arrived at Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner’s home for an appointment. The couple was scheduled to have dinner with Barack and Michelle Obama and others in just a few hours.

Getting no answer at the gate, the massage therapist called the couple’s daughter, Romy Reiner, who quickly came by with a roommate.
