According to the media outlet, Nick Reiner was at a holiday party with his parents on Saturday night. At the party, which was hosted by Conan O'Brien, the screenwriter allegedly got into a "very loud argument" with Rob and Michele Reiner, which was followed by a separate spat with Bill Hader.
Following these heated encounters, Nick stormed out of the party, with no one at the party having the knowledge of where he went.
The Reiner couple was killed sometime in the early hours of Sunday morning, and their bodies were discovered later that day, around 3:30 PM, by their daughter, Romy.

After the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner were reported to the authorities by Romy, it didn't take them long to catch Nick Reiner, who was taken into custody by Sunday night.
The 32-year-old, who was the youngest son of the couple, has since been charged with two counts of first-degree murder for slashing the throats of his parents.
According to the BBC, Nick is currently being held in the LA County Sheriff's jail, with the amount of his bail bond set at $4 million.
When district attorney Nathan Hochman announced Nick Reiner's charges in a media conference on Tuesday, he also mentioned that Reiner could end up with the death penalty or a life sentence without the possibility of parole, if he was convicted of murdering his parents.
The media outlet also reports that celebrity defence attorney Alan Jackson is going to represent Nick Reiner in court. For the unversed, Jackson is the same lawyer whom Harvey Weinstein had hired in his LA rape case trial.
Reiner's first court appearance was due on Tuesday, December 16, but he didn't appear for the hearing. Jackson later explained his absence to media outlets by citing a medical reason.
