After their bodies were discovered, the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. At this moment, he is being held without bail. Reportedly, he had been receiving schizophrenia treatment before the incident. He briefly appeared before the court on December 17, but did not enter a plea.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman stated that the charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, or potentially the death penalty.
