Tracy Reiner’s voice broke as the world shattered. Her father, director Rob Reiner, and stepmother Michele were gone, found in circumstances too brutal to grasp. The headlines came first. The details followed. But nothing prepared anyone for what Rob’s eldest daughter would finally say when she stepped out of the shado…
She didn’t speak like a celebrity giving a statement. She spoke like a daughter who had just lost the center of her universe.

As investigators work in silence, it’s that unfinished story of a family that lingers, demanding to be remembered.
