On the afternoon of December 14th, 2025, an eerie, uncharacteristic silence settled over 255 S. Chadbourne Avenue. On most days, the sprawling New England-style farmhouse in Brentwood teemed with life. You never knew who might walk through the front door …Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Betty White, Martin Short. Icons of the entertainment world were drawn there, lured by the home’s storied past and its colorful owners: Rob and Michele Reiner.
The first person to pull up to its towering iron gates that day in mid-December was no celebrity, but rather a massage therapist arriving for a 2 p.m. appointment. When no one answered, the masseuse reached out to Romy, the couple’s 27-year-old daughter.
Romy arrived just after 3:30 and moved through her childhood home with deliberate steps, that low-level worry turning into a cold, sharp fear. She searched room after room until she finally reached the primary suite. Romy pushed open the heavy doors and screamed at what she saw. There, on the bed she used to sneak into as a child after she had a bad dream, lay her father, the life drawn from his face, the cream-colored sheets stained a deep, unmistakable red. She didn’t know it at the time, but her mother rested only a few feet away mercifully out of Romy’s view.
It didn’t take police long to make an arrest. The suspect came as a surprise to the public but not to those close to the Reiner family.

31:49 - that's not a 360°, that's a 180° -- they just u-turned around and were going back in the direction from whence they came... unless they did a 540° (meaning they did the 360°, then continued to go another 180° around). 🤔
way too many commercials. also, they're way too long!
omg. what an idiot
Webster is not a pit stop town. it's the home of Nasa Space Center, and it has a very large community of aerospace related jobs and employees in addition to a robust medical center and hospitality locations. please get your research right before you make statements because erroneous statements could draw the irritation and ire of those of us that live in and near these areas. and you lose credibility.
“Tie one on” means “get drunk”! I am a Boomer from the East Coast.

Always a good podcast, but dang, there are sooo many commercials. Like 50% commercials. Ugh.
Don't know how I feel about dude. He's very Robert Stackish. His voice makes it sound creepier for some reason.
episode 102 and 103 don't play and I don't know why.
yea can't do that voice. zero inflection or emotion. sounds like a computer reading, with very little observation of punctuation. hard to tell sometimes where one sentence ends and the next begins.
I pray to the prison gods that that man that did that to that boy got fu$k*d up his a$$ everyday that he is there in prison I wouldn't lose no sleep if he got shanked
This was a terribly good one.
Would the mother of a 2year old child have a one-night-stand when her child was a) sleeping next door and b) still being breastfed and might wake up several times per night, if only to be given the breast for comfort, for example ? I seriously doubt that.
SOooooooo many ads!! Not just several ad breaks, but each break has a dozen ads each! #freepodprobs
These parents are terrible. The entire situation is terrible but these parents created this horror show.
Very boring podcast. Tried listening but could never get into her storytelling. Very basic true crime podcast not going to learn anything new or enlightening about these cases unfortunately.
