Jake Reiner, son of Rob & Michele Reiner, pens new substack about his parents’ deaths: “They should be enjoying the rest of their lives peacefully while growing older together. Instead, that was ripped away from them, from me, from Romy, and there was nothing we could do about it.”
Being at a celebration of life for a friend who died and then getting a call about your parents being brutally murdered. I can’t imagine. This is just so incredibly depressing all around.

This was a hard read. Painful enough to have one parent die….let alone two, let alone them being murdered, let alone your own brother doing it. I don’t think anyone could imagine even a modicum of the pain they have been experiencing

I can’t believe that other guy thought this was the guy that killed his parents, pfff, wouldn’t be me.

I was at my aunts funeral when I found out my dad passed… I relate a bit, but I can’t imagine having to hear BOTH of your parents *are gone. ❤️🩹
My heart goes out to him and his family.

That was so difficult to read, but also beautiful in how he took us into a slice of what growing up with his parents was like and the gifts that their children undoubtedly will carry with them forever.
To be at celebration of life for a friend and then to receive those two phone calls it’s just so unbelievably extra tragic on top of how sad and tragic it all is in the first place.
As a random stranger on the internet, I wish them some comfort eventually in these memories, and also the privacy that they hope for with some of the details and circumstances. There are so many vultures out there, and I hope Jake and Romy and the rest of the family manage to swat them away if they try.

Jesus that is sad. Getting that call while at a funeral for another loved one adds an extra layer of sadness to this. I cannot imagine losing his parents like that knowing his sibling did it.

People have a really hard time understanding that amazing parents can have difficult or even violent children. If these two were not in the public eye, it’d be like every other similar situation where the world is eager to jump on everything the parents did wrong, all the signs missed, and how it is somehow deserved that the people who birth and raise broken people meet their end at his or her hands.
