MADRID, Spain.- The recent exposure of the private Instagram profile of Nick Reiner, son of American director and producer Rob Reiner, has added a new element to the case this Thursday. As revealed by the American media Page Sixone of the defendant’s last publications was made in Cuba, several years before the murder of his parents took place, for which he currently faces two counts of first-degree murder.
The image, dated November 28, 2017, shows Nick Reiner posing next to an unidentified man, who is holding him by the neck as a joke. The photograph was accompanied by the text “Cuban choke slam” and was geolocated in Havana. The snapshot was taken inside the Great Theater of Havanaone of the most emblematic cultural spaces of the Cuban capital. This is an image never before seen publicly, since Reiner’s profile was private.
Page Six obtained exclusive screenshots of the Instagram feed through a former acquaintance of the defendant. In addition to the photograph taken in Cuba, the media published other old images that are part of Reiner’s personal archive on the social network.
The reappearance of this material coincides with the progress of the judicial process against Nick Reiner, arrested in Los Angeles after the violent death of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, who were found dead last Sunday in their Brentwood residence. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office determined that both died from multiple stab wounds, and the case was officially classified as a homicide.
Nick Reiner, 32, appeared before a judge in Los Angeles Superior Court this week, where he waived his right to a speedy appearance. His formal arraignment is scheduled for January 2026, while he remains detained without bail. The Prosecutor’s Office has pointed out the existence of special circumstances, including the use of a deadly weapon and the presence of multiple victims, which could lead to a sentence of life imprisonment without parole if found guilty, and even the death penalty.
At the moment, the authorities have not made public the possible motives for the crime, and the investigation remains open.
