The hotel room where screenwriter Nick Reiner reportedly took refuge after the murder of his parents, filmmaker Ron Reiner and producer Michele Reiner, was discovered to be stained in blood. Nick is the prime suspect in the murder of his parents and was arrested by the LAPD on Monday. Rob and Michele’s bodies were discovered at their Los Angeles home by their daughter on Sunday.
According to a report on TMZ, the 32-year-old suspect used a credit card to check into The Pierside Santa Monica hotel at around 4 a.m. on Sunday. Hours earlier, Nick had gotten into a furious fight with his father at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas Party.
Blood stains on the bed, shower
The source added that eye witnesses felt Nick looked “tweaked out” when he checked in, but there were no obvious signs that he had been involved in a violent struggle. Nick is known to have struggled with drug addiction for years.
Nick left early on Sunday, and when hotel staff entered his room for cleaning, they discovered blood stains on the bed.
