    • LIVE: FBI Expert on How the Reiners Lost Threat Perception & Why the Conservatorship Protected No One
      Jan 25 2026

      They called police in 2019. They put him under conservatorship in 2020. By December 2025, they were sleeping in the same house with someone sources say was in the middle of a psychiatric crisis. What happened to Rob and Michele Reiner's ability to perceive threat? Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke—who spent 21 years at the Bureau including serving as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program—joins us live to analyze twenty years of family dynamics.

      Dreeke explains how trust gets exploited through reciprocity, vulnerability, and shared identity—plus the devastating weight of parental guilt. The Reiners had tried tough love. It hadn't worked. They blamed themselves. Rob was publicly saying by the end that they should have listened to Nick instead of the professionals. Nick co-wrote "Being Charlie" with his father—a movie about their own relationship. That's extraordinary narrative control. What does that level of influence over the family story tell you about who actually held power?

      But the system failed catastrophically too. Nick was under court-ordered conservatorship in 2020. A judge found him gravely disabled. A licensed fiduciary controlled his treatment. He could be forced into a locked psychiatric facility against his will. On paper, that's the system working. In reality, California's conservatorship expires after one year with no follow-up. Families can't petition for renewal. The state doesn't even track outcomes.

      Here's the statistic that should terrify everyone: 83% of conserved patients remain stable while under conservatorship. After termination? Only 43% stay stable. That's a 57% relapse rate. Nick's conservatorship ended in 2021. For four years, no one was watching. When sources say he had a "complete break from reality" in late 2024—there was no legal mechanism for intervention. Could anyone have broken through to the Reiners? What would they have needed to hear?

    • LIVE: FBI Behavioral & Forensic Analysis of McKee—Wound Collector Psychology & the Evidence Trail
      Jan 25 2026

      Two FBI experts. One case that demands both behavioral and forensic analysis. We're breaking down Dr. Michael McKee live—examining the psychology of an alleged eight-year obsession and the evidence trail that led police to charge him with premeditated aggravated murder.

      Robin Dreeke spent 32 years at the FBI, including heading the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He identifies McKee as a potential "wound collector"—someone who doesn't let go of perceived injuries, who catalogs grievances and carries them for years until they explode. Dreeke explains what separates someone who moves on from a failed marriage versus someone who allegedly stews for eight years then drives 300 miles to kill his ex-wife and her husband while their children sleep down the hall. We examine how high-functioning surgeons can mask dangerous resentment, what triggers wound collectors to finally act, and how they flip the narrative to see themselves as victims.

      Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes the forensic case. Surveillance footage shows McKee's vehicle arriving before the killings and leaving after. A preliminary NIBIN ballistics match connects a firearm from his Chicago penthouse to shell casings at the scene. Police recovered the alleged murder weapon eleven days after the crime. But why would a surgeon—someone whose career demands precision—allegedly keep the gun? Coffindaffer examines the no-forced-entry mystery, the behavioral red flags months before including a malpractice process server who couldn't locate McKee at nine different addresses, and what investigators are likely holding back.

      McKee had no criminal record. No documented threats. Nothing on paper that flagged him as dangerous. He maintains his innocence. Understanding wound collectors and analyzing the evidence might help someone recognize the signs before the next tragedy.

    • LIVE: Nick Reiner's 2020 Conservatorship & The California Law That May Have Sealed His Parents' Fate
      Jan 25 2026

      Breaking it all down live: Nick Reiner was under a court-ordered LPS conservatorship in 2020. A judge found him "gravely disabled." A licensed fiduciary—Steven Baer—controlled his treatment decisions. He could be forced into a locked psychiatric facility against his will. California gave the Reiners everything the law allows. One year later, it was gone. Four years later, Rob and Michele Reiner are dead.

      The loophole nobody's discussing: under California law, if a family provides food, clothing, and shelter for a mentally ill loved one, that person may no longer meet the "gravely disabled" standard. The very act of caring for your child can disqualify them from forced treatment. The Reiners may have lost legal authority over their son's care because they refused to abandon him.

      We're examining the timeline in detail: 2019 police calls to the Reiner home. Nick's reported schizophrenia diagnosis around 2020. The conservatorship that lasted just one year. The medication change approximately one month before the killings that sources say triggered a "complete break from reality." And we're breaking down why former conservator Steven Baer will almost certainly be called as a witness—what he knows, what he'll likely testify to, and how it affects Nick's defense.

      This case forces a larger conversation. Before 1967, families could petition courts to hospitalize psychotic relatives. California's Lanterman-Petris-Short Act dismantled that system. The state went from housing 37,000 patients in psychiatric hospitals to fewer than 1,500 people on involuntary conservatorships today. The Reiners reportedly tried everything—more than a dozen facilities, the best doctors money could buy. None of it mattered because families cannot initiate conservatorships. Only hospital staff can.

      Join us live as we ask the question nobody wants to answer: did we trade one form of cruelty for another?
