Overview
- Jake Reiner, who paused his show after his parents were killed, returned to co-host The Incline: Dodgers Podcast on Wednesday and thanked supporters for their messages.
- He said Dodgers baseball is how he will keep feeling close to his dad, calling it their shared "first love" and something he will "continue to connect with him for the rest" of his life.
- Reiner explained he waited to come back until after publishing a Substack essay last month that shared who his parents were at home and spoke to others coping with grief.
- Nick Reiner, 32, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder with special allegations and remains jailed without bail at Twin Towers; a preliminary hearing is set for September 15.
- Officials have said Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, died from multiple sharp-force injuries, and the September hearing will test whether prosecutors have enough evidence to take the case to trial.
