Rob and Michele Reiner’s Brentwood home had long history of police calls before couple’s death

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: As investigators probe the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, police records show that officers repeatedly responded to the couple’s Brentwood home in the years leading up to the family tragedy that shocked Los Angeles.

The records reveal several serious calls for service between 2013 and December 14, 2025, the day the couple was found dead at their home. Authorities have ruled both deaths homicides. Their son, Nick Reiner, was arrested the same day and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Police were called to the Reiners' Brentwood home at least six times over more than a decade

Police were called to the Reiners’ $13.5 million Brentwood mansion at least six times over more than a decade, according to records obtained by the Daily Mail. The calls involved a range of issues, including alleged family violence, welfare checks, and mental health evaluations.

Earlier records include other welfare checks, such as one on August 4, 2013, at 3.31 am, listed simply as “door,” confirming police presence but providing few details. 

Even minor disturbances appeared in the logs, like a noise complaint on February 2, 2014, described as a “party,” which officers found had ended before they arrived.

The police logs show a pattern of ongoing concerns rather than isolated incidents. One serious call occurred on May 5, 2017, at 4.04 pm, when officers responded to a report coded “BFV INVEST,” indicating a family violence investigation. Sources say these records show authorities were aware of potential domestic issues years before the fatal deaths.

In 2019 alone, police visited the property twice. On February 25, 2019, at 9.51 pm, they conducted a welfare check and reported it to a supervisor. 

Later, on September 27, 2019, at 4.24 pm, they responded to a “918M” call, a mental health-related check involving a male subject, and determined no further action was needed.

What did the LAPD report about calls from Reiners' house?

A source close to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said, “There's been quite a few calls for service at the Reiner house. The West LA division of LAPD was summoned to that home on many occasions.”

The LAPD said, “Brentwood is a fairly quiet neighborhood. You don't generally get a lot of calls for service at a home.”

The source added, “In this case, the officers had a recollection that they responded to the home on numerous occasions. It was significant, the number of times they visited that home.”

At the center of the case is Nick, the couple’s 32-year-old son, who had lived in the guest house on and off for years. Sources close to the family said he was often at the property during many of the times police were called, indicating long-term issues within the household.

The couple’s death certificates show that their bodies were cremated following what authorities described as brutal killings.

Officials previously reported that Rob and Michele suffered “multiple sharp-force injuries,” and the certificates confirmed the injuries were caused “with a knife, by another.” The couple’s oldest son, Jake Reiner, received their remains, and the cremation took place at Mount Sinai Mortuary.
