The accused, the couple’s son Nick Reiner, remains charged with two counts of first-degree murder. His arraignment is scheduled for January 7, 2026. No trial date has been set.

Reports suggest his defense is expected to consider an “insanity plea” at future hearings, referencing his known mental health history.

The family’s search for closure now moves to the courtroom, where Nick Reiner’s fate will be determined.
