How Do The Reiner Siblings Live With An Ending That Never Comes?

Romy Reiner walked into her parents' home because they weren't answering the door, found her father, and called for help — only to learn the suspect was her own brother. This look back stays with her, with Jake, and with Tracy: the three people who have to keep living after the worst day of their lives.They woke up that December morning with parents and went to bed orphans. They now carry something almost no family ever holds at once — they're the ones who lost the most, the next of kin with a legal voice in the case, and the family of the man accused of doing it. Sources say they've cut Nick off completely. Sources say they don't want him to face the ultimate punishment. We revisit where things stood at the time of our reporting, but the real subject of this segment is everything that comes after the verdict.Because here's the hard part: whatever the court decides, their parents are still gone. A conviction won't change that. A finding of not responsible by reason of mental illness won't either. So much of grief becomes waiting — for the apology, for the ruling, for the moment that finally makes it make sense. This segment is a gentle, honest argument that the moment may never arrive, and that the people who find their way through aren't the ones who got closure handed to them. They're the ones who decided to stop letting the chaos write the rest of their story. Jake, Romy, and Tracy will have to learn how to be a family without the two people who made them one. This is for everyone who's had to do the same.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
