The facility where Nick lives has been under scrutiny, with a complaint filed by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, which oversees the Twin Towers and other facilities, as recently as September 2025.
After an inspection of the Twin Towers on March 6, 2025, Sybil Brand Commission inspectors reported “many toilets that did not work, mattresses without the required plastic covers, visible mold on the walls and what appeared to be blood on the walls and mattress,” according to a complaint obtained by Us.
In July 2025, the Sybil Brand Commission reported “persistent unsanitary conditions at the Twin Towers.
Nick’s facility was also accused of “exceeding” its inmate capacity by hundreds.
Nick Reiner was reportedly placed under mental health supervision for nearly five years prior to the alleged murder of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. Nick, 32, has been under surveillance for one year, according to a report on Thursday, January 15, by the New York Times. The outlet reported that the conservatorship was terminated in 2021 […]

Nick’s mental health is still at a premium as his case continues, and a source previously told Us that he fired his psychiatrist and switched medications shortly before Rob and Michele were killed.
“Medical staff have warned Rob and Michele not to let Nick stay at home until his medication is adjusted,” the insider said. (Nick had an argument with his parents the night before they were killed at Conan O’Brien’s holiday party; he was staying at Rob and Michele’s guest house at the time.)
