Nick Reiner's Rehab Roommate Speaks — He Knew Who Killed Rob and Michele Immediately

Nick Reiner's Rehab Roommate Speaks — He Knew Who Killed Rob and Michele Immediately

Breaking details in the Nick Reiner case. A man who shared a room with Nick in a luxury Malibu rehab at age 15 is now speaking out — and his account could shatter the expected insanity defense.

Danny Spilar told the Daily Mail that the moment he saw the news about Rob and Michele Reiner's murders, he knew exactly who did it. Not suspected. Knew. Because he'd heard Nick rant about hating his parents night after night in that rehab facility nearly two decades ago.

This wasn't after years of hard drug abuse. Nick was only using marijuana at the time. But according to Danny, the hatred was already there — raw, constant, and aimed directly at his parents.

Danny also witnessed violence. Nick allegedly attacked another teen at the facility. Got physical with Danny himself over a comment about looking like John Travolta's son. A tech had to intervene.

And here's what makes this critical for the trial: Danny says Rob and Michele were different from other wealthy parents. They showed up personally for every session, every group, every parents weekend. They weren't absent. They were desperately present. And Nick hated them anyway.

Now prosecutors will have to answer this question: Can you claim insanity when a witness heard you express this hatred 17 years before the crime — before the heroin, before the schizophrenia diagnosis, before any of the excuses?
