A law enforcement official told The Associated Press that investigators believe Rob and Michelle Singer Renner died of stab wounds. The official who was briefed on the investigation could not discuss details publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
The murders were especially shocking given the family’s warm-hearted comic heritage. Rob Reiner was the son of comedy legend Carl Reiner, who died in 2020 at the age of 98.

Nick Reiner co-wrote and Rob Reiner directed the film about the conflict between an addict son and a famous father. It was not autobiographical but included many elements from his life.
Rob Reiner told the AP in 2016, “It forced us to understand ourselves better than we did. I told Nick when we were making it, I said, ‘You know what, no matter what happens with this thing, we’ve already won.'”
Rob Reiner was long one of Hollywood’s most prolific directors, and his work included some of the most memorable and unwatchable films of the 1980s and ’90s, including “This is Spinal Tap” and “A Few Good Men.”
He met Michelle Singer Renner on the set of “When Harry Met Sally…” and their meeting inspired the film to lead to a happy ending, with stars Billy Crystal – one of Renner’s closest friends for decades – and Meg Ryan together on New Year’s Eve.
Renners was a vocal supporter of liberal causes and major Democratic donors.
President Donald Trump on Monday blamed Rob Reiner’s vocal opposition to the presidency for the actor-director’s murder, making a baseless claim in a social media post that seemed intended to humiliate his opponents even in the event of a tragedy.
