Rob Reiner Shared a Chilling Premonition Before He and Wife Were Murdered at Their Home

Hollywood storyteller Rob Reiner had a chilling premonition that something ghastly might happen hours before his troubled son Nick allegedly slashed his and wife Michele’s throats in their Los Angeles mansion — and now a battle may be brewing over the couple’s $200 million fortune, sources say.

The famed This Is Spinal Tap director, 78, shared, “I’m petrified … I think my own son can hurt me,” giving heart-stopping insight into his terror-stricken state of mind, sources confide to Daily Mail.

The remark was allegedly made at a holiday bash thrown by former late-night host Conan O’Brien on Dec. 13 — the day before Rob and 68-year-old Michele’s butchered bodies were discovered at their $13 million home.

Sources say Nick, 32, acted so bizarrely at the festive event that O’Brien had to urge fellow guests not to call the cops, and the three Reiners left after the parents argued with their offspring.

Hours later, the beloved Stand by Me filmmaker and his wife of 36 years were found savaged from what officials called “multiple sharp force injuries,” and Nick was slapped with two counts of first-degree murder.

The accused killer’s lawyer, Alan Jackson, is urging against “a rush to judgment,” but sources claim after the slaughter, Nick left a Santa Monica hotel room stained with blood.

If found guilty of the double murder, Nick — the second-born of Rob and Michele’s three kids, who also include actors Jake, 34, and Romy, 28 — could face up to life in prison or even the death penalty.

Jackson, who previously defended Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein, reportedly charges as much as $2,000 an hour, and sources say the bill for his services is being footed by the Reiners’ estate.

Sources says many in the forgiving family wish to see Nick — who was said to be diagnosed with schizophrenia — institutionalized rather than rotting behind bars, yet others are objecting to having a single penny of the Reiners’ fortune used to defend the adored couple’s alleged executioner.

Nick has a history of cocaine and heroin abuse, has been to rehab 18 times and once lived on the streets in New Jersey, Texas and Maine.

Sources allege the Being Charlie screenwriter’s doctors fiddled with his mental illness meds in the weeks before the slayings to improve his condition — but those changes rendered him “erratic and dangerous.”

An insider shares, “The reality is he had violent outbursts. The family has been scared of him.”

Another source admits, “This is not the first time [Nick] has been violent. I know of another incident a few years back.”

The National Enquirer’s own reporting turned up an unsettling homemade video, in which Nick threatens to kill a dog and pretends to snort powdered drugs.

David Manheim, who knew Nick, told the Enquirer the longtime addict felt crushing pressure to live up to the achievements of his famed father as well as his comedy legend granddad Carl Reiner, creator of The Dick Van Dyke Show. “I think he wanted to be great,” says Manheim, host of the Dopey podcast.

Nick, who is on suicide watch in an L.A. lockup, appeared to say as much when he shared in a 2016 podcast interview, “I had no identity, and I had no passions. And I think the reason I had no identity was because I have a famous dad and a famous grandpa, and that fame sort of informs who you are.”

Alanna Zabel — Rob, Michele and Nick’s former yoga coach — tells the Enquirer that Nick blamed his parents for his woes and they “weren’t going to keep enabling him.”

California law bans a convicted murderer from profiting off a killing, but there’s no legal restriction on an estate paying for an accused monster’s defense.

However, when discussing a potential cash clash, an insider notes, “Things could go south in a hurry if the money spigot shuts off. That would add another wrinkle to an already devastating situation.”
