Sirens. Blood. A family legacy ripped apart in the dead of night. Police have released a chilling, minute-by-minute official timeline detailing the final hours before legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer were found stabbed to death — and the shocking arrest of their own son, Nick, just hours later.
What unfolded behind the gates of a quiet Beverly Hills home was not a Hollywood script. Investigators say it was a slow-burn nightmare that ended in violence, confusion, and a son led away in cuffs.
THE FINAL HOURS: A NIGHT THAT TURNED FATAL
According to law enforcement sources, the evening began deceptively calm. Neighbors reported nothing unusual — no shouting, no disturbance — just the glow of lights in a home long associated with red carpets and success.
8:17 PM — Security cameras captured Nick arriving at the residence alone. Police say he appeared “agitated,” pacing near the driveway before entering.
9:02 PM — A heated argument was allegedly overheard by a nearby resident. Voices rose. Then silence.
10:41 PM — A frantic 911 call came in from the home. The caller reportedly hung up without speaking.
10:58 PM — First responders arrived to a scene detectives would later describe as “deeply disturbing.” Rob Reiner and Michele Singer were pronounced dead at the scene from multiple stab wounds.
THE ARREST THAT SHOCKED HOLLYWOOD
Within hours, police zeroed in on one suspect — their son.
Nick was taken into custody just after dawn, found several miles away. Authorities would not confirm what evidence led to the arrest, but insiders say forensic findings and the timeline itself raised red flags investigators could not ignore.
“He wasn’t just a person of interest,” one source whispered. “He became the focus.”
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS — AND A FAMILY IN RUINS
What sparked the fatal confrontation? Was it money? Long-simmering resentment? A breaking point no one saw coming?
Police are tight-lipped, but confirm the investigation is ongoing. No motive has been officially announced — only that the timeline paints a picture of escalating tension that ended in irreversible tragedy.
Hollywood is reeling. Fans are stunned. And behind closed doors, detectives continue to piece together the final moments of a night that ended an era — and destroyed a family forever.
More details expected as court documents are unsealed. Stay tuned.
