Rob Reiner and wife Michele were allegedly stabbed to death by their troubled son Nick.

As OK! reported, it was the slain couple's daughter Romy, 28, who discovered their bodies inside their Brentwood, Calif., home that afternoon.

The murder reportedly occurred after an argument, and though Romy wasn't present, she told authorities her family member "should be a suspect" because they are "dangerous."

Rob, 78, and Michelle, 68, suffered from "lacerations consistent with a knife."

Nick, 32, who has struggled with drug abuse and homelessness, was arrested on December 15 and is being held in jail with a $4 million bond.
