The LAPD initially confirmed that Rob, 78, and Michele, 68, were found dead<\/a> \u201cfrom apparent stab wounds.\u201d<\/p>\nDuring a press conference, Deputy Chief Alan S. Hamilton<\/strong> said that the LAPD \u201cis currently conducting an ongoing investigation into the two deaths at Rob Reiner\u2019s Brentwood home.\u201d However, he said they were avoiding \u201cclassifying the investigation\u201d as a murder at the time.<\/p>\nJust hours after news broke about Rob and Michele\u2019s deaths, multiple outlets reported that Nick was an alleged person of interest in the case and that he was being questioned by detectives about his parents\u2019 deaths.<\/p>\n
Nick had been open about his complicated relationship with his parents in the past, and he even explored their dynamic amid his personal struggles in the 2015 film Being Charlie<\/em>.

Rob directed the film, while Cary Elwes<\/strong> starred as the father figure and Nick Robinson<\/strong> portrayed the troubled son.<\/p>\n\u201cWhen Nick would tell us that it wasn\u2019t working for him, we wouldn\u2019t listen,\u201d Rob told the L.A. Times<\/em><\/a> in 2015 about offering his son an apology following years of ups and downs. \u201cWe were desperate and because the people had diplomas on their wall, we listened to them when we should have been listening to our son.\u201d<\/p>\nThe following year, Rob and Nick appeared on a 2016 episode of Paul Mecurio<\/strong>\u2019s \u201c2 Chairs and a Microphone\u201d<\/a> podcast.
