Nick Reiner once admitted he faked being ‘crazy’ to get medication

Nearly a decade before he was charged in the grisly murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, the couple’s son Nick Reiner told a podcast he’d concocted a plan in which he faked being “crazy” to get access to medication.

In a resurfaced 2016 clip from the “Dopey: On the Dark Comedy of Drug Addiction” podcast, the now-32-year-old recalled manufacturing a mentally unstable state in order to get Wellbutrin (antidepressant medication) while checked into the Alina Lodge addiction treatment center in New Jersey.
