Description: Seventeen rehab stints. A movie about his addiction. A guest house so they could keep him close. Rob and Michele Reiner did everything parents are supposed to do — and now they're dead, allegedly at the hands of the son they never stopped trying to save. You've been flooding us with questions, and we're answering the hardest ones. When does love become enabling? Why did Alan Jackson walk away from this case two weeks before arraignment? What really happened at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party the night before? We dig into the schizophrenia diagnosis, the conservatorship that was reportedly in the works, the blood-covered hotel room, and what Jake and Romy Reiner are facing as they bury both parents while their brother awaits trial. Rob once said he had to "act" like a disciplinarian because tough love wasn't his nature. Michele said she regretted believing rehab counselors who called Nick a liar. The system failed this family at every turn — treatment programs, mental health intervention, the courts. And now we're left with questions that don't have satisfying answers. This episode is about sitting with the uncomfortable, working through the impossible, and trying to understand how a family with every advantage still ended up here.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrime #Schizophrenia #AddictionAndMentalHealth #AlanJackson #BeingCharlie #CelebrityMurder #HiddenKillersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
