00:30We have our robbery homicide division handling the investigation.
00:34They worked throughout the night on this case and were able to take into custody Nick Reiner,
00:43a suspect in this case.
00:45He was subsequently booked for murder and is being held on $4 million bail.
00:50So pretty much that's what I can share at this point, but again, of every very tragic incident.
00:56The 32-year-old was taken into custody hours after the couple was found dead.
01:01Prosecutors are expected to review the case on Tuesday as they consider formal charges.

01:26and had multiple stints in rehabilitation by the age of 19.
