Murder in the Family: The Shocking Search of Nick Reiner's Hotel Room

The shocking tale of Nick Reiner’s recent hotel stay has taken a dark turn after LAPD detectives searched his room for evidence connected to the murders of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. An investigation was launched after a housekeeper discovered blood in the shower and on the bedsheets, raising troubling questions about what exactly transpired in that hotel room. The police suspect Nick may have disposed of a weapon and possibly cleaned up the scene before the search began.

Checking in under suspicious circumstances, Nick reportedly appeared disoriented and even suspected of being under the influence of a stimulant. His stay at The Pierside Santa Monica hotel became the focal point of a major homicide investigation. Now facing two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances, Nick’s story is certainly a reminder that family ties can sometimes lead to the most unexpected—and tragic—places.
