Nick Reiner’s blow-up with his parents
Nick “freaked out” and had a huge blow-up with his parents at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party a day before the murders, a source told the New York Post. The three of them had a “very loud argument,” possibly fueled by Nick going back on drugs and refusing treatment, the source added.

“They had had an argument at Conan’s holiday party, and Rob had been telling people that they’re scared for Nick and scared that his mental state was deteriorating,’’ a lifelong family friend who lives near the Reiner home told the outlet.
“Nick was supposedly off drugs,” but then rumors surfaced that he was “not so much off them,’’ the neighbor added.
Nick was, at his lowest points, “badly addicted to a combo of opiates and heroin,” the family friend claimed.
Nick’s sister Romy is beloved to have found the bodies of their parents on Sunday, December 14. She told investigators that Nick was “dangerous” and “should be a suspect.” Nick was arrested hours after his parents’ murders.
