Police Had Been to the Reiner Home Before. Why Couldn't Anyone Stop Nick? | Full Investigation

The question haunting this case isn't what happened on December 14th. It's why no one could prevent it.An LAPD insider told reporters there had been "quite a few calls for service" to Rob and Michele Reiner's Brentwood home over the years. A neighbor said Nick had been violent before. Nick himself admitted — on tape, in interviews and podcasts — to manipulating his parents and gaming every treatment program meant to help him. Seventeen rehab stints by age 22. Seventeen failures.And the night before his parents were found dead, Rob Reiner reportedly looked at friends and said: "I'm petrified of Nick. I think my own son can hurt me."Everyone knew. No one could act.California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act protects the civil liberties of mentally ill adults — but it leaves families with almost no options when those adults become dangerous. You can't force someone into treatment unless they're an imminent threat. The 5150 hold gives you 72 hours before they can refuse treatment and leave. Conservatorship requires years of court battles and is only granted in the most extreme cases.Rob and Michele did everything parents could do. They spent millions. They kept Nick close when the alternative was homelessness. They tried to be his safety net. And on December 14th, their son allegedly stabbed them to death.Bob Motta joins us for a full examination of the years before the crime. The warning signs. The repeated police calls. The system that keeps failing families like the Reiners. And the question millions of parents are asking right now: what are we supposed to do when we can see what's coming but can't stop it?#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerMurders #WarningSigns #MentalHealthLaw #LPSAct #BrentwoodMurder #FamilyTragedy #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
