About this listen

 Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us to analyze the behavioral red flags in the Nick Reiner case—the son of legendary director Rob Reiner who now faces two counts of first-degree murder in the stabbing deaths of both his parents.

In this exclusive interview, Dreeke examines the disturbing timeline that emerged in the hours before Rob and Michele Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home: the erratic behavior at Conan O'Brien's star-studded holiday party, the repetitive questioning of celebrities like Bill Hader and Jane Fonda, the explosive public argument between father and son, and Nick's reported 4 a.m. check-in to a Santa Monica hotel where staff later discovered blood-soaked sheets and a shower full of blood.

Dreeke explains what these behavioral patterns reveal about escalation, crisis states, and why families often see catastrophe coming but feel powerless to intervene. We discuss what Nick's calm courtroom demeanor might indicate, what defense attorney Alan Jackson's careful language could be signaling, and what this tragedy exposes about the limits of what even wealthy, well-connected families can do when an adult child refuses help.

This case has shaken Hollywood and sparked a national conversation about mental health, addiction, and the impossible choices parents face. Dreeke brings decades of experience reading human behavior under pressure—and his analysis cuts through the noise to help us understand what went wrong and why.
