FBI's Robin Dreeke: Nick Reiner's Behavior Exposed Everything — Why Rob & Michele Couldn't Stop What Was Coming

Rob and Michele Reiner knew something was wrong with their son. They knew it for weeks. They brought him to Conan O'Brien's Christmas party specifically to keep an eye on him. By the next evening, both parents were dead.

Sources confirm Nick Reiner was diagnosed with schizophrenia and his medication was changed three to four weeks before the December 14th killings. His mother Michele told friends they had tried everything. At that party, Nick interrupted private conversations, stared at guests, asked people if they were famous, and got into a shouting match with his father loud enough for the room to hear. Bill Hader had to tell him a conversation was private. Nick just stood there staring before storming off.

Three weeks after the murders, defense attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from the case — but not before telling reporters that Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder under California law. He said he's legally prohibited from explaining why. A sealed psychiatric order sits in the case file.

Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke joins me to break down what Nick's behavior revealed in the hours before the killings, how a medication change factors into predicting violence, and what Alan Jackson's exit signals about the defense strategy ahead. When a family identifies someone as dangerous and has unlimited resources, why doesn't that translate into prevention?
