Jake Reiner sits for first interview since parents’ killing
Jake Reiner, the son of Rob and Michele Reiner, spoke with ABC Eyewitness News about living through the last nine months.
Nearly nine months have passed since the tragic killing of Rob and Michele Reiner, and their eldest son, Jake, sat down for an exclusive interview with ABC News. In the first comments since his parents' untimely demise, Jake Reiner recounted the horrifying experience of receiving a call from his sister Romy, who discovered their parents' bodies.
Jake and Romy's brother, Nick Reiner, is currently awaiting trial for their deaths, having been charged with two counts of first-degree murder and pleading not guilty. During a more than hour-long interview, Jake spoke about the surreal nature of being at the scene of his parents' crime, his grief, and the ongoing impact on their family.
He has not spoken to his brother or attended any court hearings, though he did testify before a grand jury. Jake emphasized that the grief he experiences is unique to his situation, and urged others to understand and respect the pain they are living through.
