LOS ANGELES (AP) — Director-actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were the two people found dead Sunday at a Los Angeles home owned by Reiner, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.

The official could not publicly discuss details of the investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Investigators believe they suffered stab wounds and a family member is being questioned by investigators, the official said.

The Los Angeles Fire Department said it responded to a medical aid request shortly after 3:30 p.m. and found a 78-year-old man and 68-year-old woman dead inside. Reiner turned 78 in March.

Detectives with the Robbery Homicide Division were investigating an “apparent homicide” at Reiner’s home, said Capt. Mike Bland with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Los Angeles authorities have not confirmed the identities of the people found dead at the residence in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood on the city’s west side that’s home to many celebrities.

Reiner was long one of the most prolific directors in Hollywood, and his work included some of the most memorable movies of the 1980s and ’90s, including “This is Spinal Tap,” “A Few Good Men,” “When Harry Met Sally” and “The Princess Bride.”

His role as Meathead in the 1970s TV classic “All in the Family” alongside Carol O’Connor’s Archie Bunker catapulted him to fame and won him two Emmy Awards.

Messages to his representatives were not immediately returned Sunday night.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called Reiner’s death a devastating loss for the city.

“Rob Reiner’s contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice,” Bass said in a statement. “An acclaimed actor, director, producer, writer, and engaged political activist, he always used his gifts in service of others.”

The son of comedy legend Carl Reiner, Rob Reiner was married to photographer Michele Singer Reiner since 1989. The two met while he was directing “When Harry Met Sally” and have three children together.

Reiner was previously married to actor-director Penny Marshall from 1971 to 1981. He adopted her daughter, Tracy Reiner. Carl Reiner died in 2020 at age 98 and Marshall died in 2018.

Killings are rare in the Brentwood neighborhood. The scene is about a mile from the home where O.J. Simpson’s wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman were killed in 1994.

General Daily Insight for December 15, 2025

A firm, focused mood could inspire us to take action today. As aggressive Mars enters Capricorn at 2:34 am EST, we’re likely to prioritize real results and plans we can actually finish. While the moody Scorpio Moon squares intense Pluto, emotions may spike in tough conversations, but maybe getting all that out is just what we need to turn pressure into momentum. Passion and productivity don’t have to be enemies. At this point, we’re in a position to experience the best of both worlds!

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Making a bold first move is possible now. Fiery Mars charges into your 10th House of Career and Status, urging leadership on a stalled project that needs your clear direction. Choose one measurable goal and commit, because consistent action makes the most of your natural courage and turns scattered ambition into progress people notice. Feedback from friends may not always be comfortable, but try to hear it out. Their opinions have the potential to sharpen your message in helpful ways.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

An outside perspective currently has the potential to cut through the muck. Your 9th House of Travel and Higher Learning takes the spotlight as adventurous Mars arrives there, rallying your courage to enroll in training that stretches your world. Perhaps you’ve been embroiled in an emotional power struggle in your professional life. However, there could be more to the story than whatever is going on between you and the other person. Looking at the bigger picture is likely to expand your options!

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Truth-telling is likely to become your friend today. As passionate Mars activates your 8th House of Intimacy and Shared Resources, you might be ready to take on a tough conversation you’d normally prefer to avoid. If someone owes you money, keep the tone light, but don’t shy away from specifics. Stating the exact amount with a clear payment date dissolves confusion. However, avoid assuming that you know why the other person acted the way they did. Combining empathy and facts builds safety for deeper sharing.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Cancer, your heart sets today’s steady pace. As action-oriented Mars powers into your 7th House of Partnerships, you’re probably in the mood to nail down firm agreements with a significant person in your life. If your companion grows defensive, soften your tone while staying clear, because your sensitive instincts can name the real need and protect everyone’s dignity. A written plan is likely to reduce anxiety and help you set fair boundaries on tough topics. Patiently working through this should strengthen your bond going forward!

Leo

July 23 – August 22

Finding focus is presently possible. Ambitious Mars energizes your 6th House of Work and Wellness, helping you clean up any messy workflows and commit to productive routines. If you’re called upon to manage a coworker conflict, keep the focus on facts and next steps, since drama fades when you model calm and fairness. This doesn’t mean you have to embrace boredom, though. When you protect your energy, your creative spark is likely to return. Let work become a stage where steady effort shines!

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Taking your creativity seriously can be rewarding now. As passionate Mars in your artistic 5th house invites playful risk, you might be ready to share a draft of a personal project with someone you trust. Although your own effort still matters, progress may come faster when you show the work and ask what connects. Honest feedback has the potential to sharpen your craft beautifully! That said, remember that you aren’t required to defer to nitpicking for the sake of being agreeable.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

When comfort unites with effort, home life shifts gently. While dynamic Mars kindles your 4th House of Home and Family, you might find that physically reorganizing a room helps traffic flow better and chores get done more easily. You may need to take a break from your favorite hobbies to focus on this, but a tidy base frees time for laughter later. If cohabitants push back, meet them with calm grace while holding the plan. Relationships improve when expectations are simple and promises are clear.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Clarity can arrive once you speak without hedging. Direct truth serves you now as aggressive Mars fires up your verbal 3rd house, favoring firm communication that sets respectful limits. You read between lines, so say what you see, but ask others to confirm. Facts prevent blame and end mixed messages. Tender history may be on your mind at this time, but you can honor feelings and still keep conversations clean. When you state your needs kindly, trust deepens, and tension eases naturally.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Careful money choices can pay off now. Your 2nd House of Money and Values gets a welcome nudge as ambitious Mars there favors a cleaner budget. In some cases, thoughtfully asking for a discount on a product or service might make sense. However, feeling overly sorry for yourself isn’t a good look. The freedom you crave is likely to grow when you’re realistic about what you want and what it should realistically cost. Once you’re grounded, you can reach for the stars!

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Capricorn, you set the tone with intention. A fresh engine roars within as warrior Mars fires up your sense of self, turning resolve into action on a goal you’ve put off for too long. You may update a resume to reflect a new vision for your path forward. Although the financial side of whatever you want to do will eventually need your attention, a bold start proves your desire is real. Begin now — momentum loves your steady, disciplined stride forward.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Releasing what drains your energy is currently crucial. Decisive Mars activates your 12th House of Solitude and Closure, urging you to clear clutter that keeps you stuck. Give yourself a buffer between tasks and people, because your inventive mind resets faster when you protect the pockets of quiet in your day. Although you may worry that you’re not progressing quickly enough, you’re making room for brilliant ideas yet to come. Clear space now so inspiration can return with fresh strength.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

When friends rally, your ideas travel further. Warrior Mars energizes your 11th House of Friendship and Social Networks today, motivating you to gather people around a heartfelt community event. Your empathy helps you include quieter voices, and a kind invitation can reconnect an old pal who drifted away. Although you may not be in the most bubbly mood, showing up with gentle purpose gives your dream a practical path. Invite support now, and shared effort should multiply good results beautifully.

The Miami Dolphins’ slim playoff chances are getting slimmer and could go down to zero by the end of Week 15’s games.

After the results in the league’s Sunday slate, the Dolphins are now facing elimination from postseason contention in their Monday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6). They must win to keep their hopes alive.

If Miami was to lose, falling to 6-8, it would only have a chance to catch the Houston Texans, who currently hold the final playoff spot in the AFC at 9-5. That would take three Dolphins wins to finish the season and three Texans losses. But even then, the Texans would own the conference record tiebreaker.

A Dolphins loss would mean they can’t catch up to either the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars — all who are 10-4.

The Sunday results in the NFL didn’t go Miami’s way. Buffalo came back against New England to win. The Texans took down the Arizona Cardinals, and the Chargers held on late against the Kansas Chiefs.

A win for the Dolphins in the frigid cold of Pittsburgh on Monday keeps different paths, albeit unlikely, for Miami to reach the postseason.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A JetBlue flight from the small Caribbean nation of Curaçao halted its ascent to avoid colliding with a U.S. Air Force refueling tanker on Friday, and the pilot blamed the military plane for crossing his path.

“We almost had a midair collision up here,” the JetBlue pilot said, according to a recording of his conversation with air traffic control. “They passed directly in our flight path. … They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.”

The incident involved JetBlue Flight 1112 from Curaçao, which is just off the coast of Venezuela, en route to New York City’s JFK airport. It comes as the U.S. military has stepped up its drug interdiction activities in the Caribbean and is also seeking to increase pressure on Venezuela’s government.

“We just had traffic pass directly in front of us within 5 miles of us — maybe 2 or 3 miles — but it was an air-to air-refueler from the United States Air Force and he was at our altitude,” the pilot said. “We had to stop our climb.” The pilot said the Air Force plane then headed into Venezuelan air space.

Derek Dombrowski, a spokesman for JetBlue, said Sunday: “We have reported this incident to federal authorities and will participate in any investigation.” He added, “Our crewmembers are trained on proper procedures for various flight situations, and we appreciate our crew for promptly reporting this situation to our leadership team.”

The Pentagon referred The Associated Press to the Air Force for comment. The Air Force didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

MIAMI GARDENS — Defense and the run game have received most of the attention during the Miami Dolphins’ four-game winning streak. The fact is Miami’s success goes deeper. The Dolphins are also getting a big boost from playing smart, clean football.

Take a look at the statistical categories coach Mike McDaniel and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver value most — turnover margin and points allowed, respectively. The numbers are hugely favorable recently and offer another glimpse into why the Dolphins have won five of their past six games heading into their Monday night game against the Steelers (7-6) in Pittsburgh.

Also, take a look at penalties. Those numbers are hugely favorable, too.

It’s all connected, these ancillary elements to winning — turnover margin, scoring defense and penalties.

But when you want to understand the true depth of this Dolphins (6-7) midseason turnaround start at the beginning, meaning the beginning of the game.

When the Dolphins have won the toss during the past six games, McDaniel has taken the ball, a change in strategy, instead of deferring his option to receive until the third quarter. Consequently, the Dolphins have scored first in every game of this six-game stretch although not always on their first possession. They’ve scored first-quarter touchdowns in four of the six games. Playing with the lead has allowed McDaniel to stick with running back De’Von Achane and the running game, which leads the league during the past five weeks at 192.3 yards rushing per game.

Additionally, the run game success reduces the burden on inconsistent quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (18 touchdowns, career-worst 14 interceptions, career-worst 86.4 passer rating). Tagovailoa’s success, and the success of the passing game, has been much different this season than previous seasons and a primary reason is likely the absence of injured star wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

But just as importantly as winning the coin toss, taking the ball, scoring first, and utilizing the ground game, the Dolphins are plus-seven in turnover margin over the past six games. They’re now plus-one for the season. McDaniel regards turnover margin as the best statistical indicator of wins and losses.

“I think it’s no coincidence what came first, the chicken or the egg,” McDaniel said. “I think our play style is leading to the takeaway margin, and we’ll need to continue that to hope to have the same success.”

When it comes to points allowed consider the Dolphins have only allowed more than 17 points once during the past six games, that being the 28-6 loss against the Baltimore Ravens. The scoring defense success represents a huge turnaround considering the Dolphins allowed at least 21 points in each of their first seven games, and four opponents scored 30 or more.

“We have unwavering faith and conviction in what we do,” Weaver said, “and we knew that if we would just keep taking small incremental steps forward in whatever that was, whether that was schematically, effort, focus on takeaways, technique and fundamentals, eventually the dam would break and we’d start getting the results that we were looking for.”

When it comes to penalties the Dolphins have had fewer penalty yards than each of their past six opponents. They haven’t had more than five penalties in any game during this stretch.

The bottom line is the Dolphins are playing smart, clean football along with executing when it comes to run games and defense.

McDaniel attributes all of the improved numbers and better results to more convicted efforts.

“We’re talking about takeaways every week,” he said, “but it’s all connected to high-effort strain, conviction, the style of play that is very violent in nature. The game of inches that lead to touchdowns versus field goals, first downs versus fourth downs, and then those tips and overthrows that lead to takeaways, they’re all packed into a style of play that is very much convicted and high effort.”

Top Dolphins-Steelers prop bets from Chris Perkins and David Furones

MIAMI — For the Miami Heat, Monday represents more than a return to action after a five-day break. It also opens an additional window for transactions.

Dec. 15 is the first day that most players signed in the offseason can be traded.

For the Heat, that makes Monday that first day that guard Dru Smith and Jahmir Young can be dealt, not that the team has offered any such indications.

Typically, the Heat would have a higher number of players trade-eligible on Dec. 15, but this, by their standards, was a relatively tame offseason.

While guard Davion Mitchell also was signed this past offseason, because he received a raise higher than 20% and was retained by Bird Rights, his trade window does not open until Jan. 15.

That does not mean the Heat are poised for a deal, only that transaction dates now are at hand ahead of the Feb. 5 NBA trading deadline.

While Young is one of three Heat players on two-way contracts, the NBA limit, he does not become trade eligible until Monday because he was converted from a standard contract during the preseason. The Heat’s other two-way players — Vlad Goldin and Myron Gardner — were trade eligible 30 days after they were directly signed to two-way deals in July.

All of the Heat’s other offseason signings either were a matter of picking up player options or picking up guarantees, such as with Keshad Johnson and Pelle Larsson.

The Heat currently have one spot vacant on their standard roster, with teams eligible to carry up to 15. While they also have enough space below the luxury tax to sign an additional player — a window that opened Saturday — such additional space also can now be utilized in a trade.

In all, about 77 players will turn trade-eligible on Monday, about 17% of the NBA, a list that also includes the likes of former Heat forward Duncan Robinson, former Heat guard Kyle Lowry, and recently banished Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul.

Among offseason signings in addition to the Heat’s Mitchell that won’t be trade eligible until Jan, 15 are Jonathan Kuminga, Naz Reid and Josh Giddey.

Similar situations

Monday’s 7:30 p.m. game at Kaseya Center was added to the schedule when the Heat and Toronto Raptors were knocked out in Tuesday night quarterfinals of the NBA Cup. The game is in Miami because the Raptors otherwise had been scheduled only once in South Florida (Dec. 23). The Heat play in Toronto on April 7 and April 9.

Both teams have struggled after unexpectedly hot early starts, the Heat entering at 14-11, on a four-game losing streak, the Raptors at 15-11, also on a four-game losing streak.

“This year, it’s been almost a mirror image of the style of play, where we’ve been in the conference,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, “the aggressiveness, commitment to defense. But I would say any year that the Heat and Toronto face each other, it always ends up being competitive games.”

Among the reasons for the Raptors’ revival has been the play of forward Brandon Ingram, who was acquired at last season’s trade deadline and then signed to a contract extension. He is coming off a 31-point NBA Cup performance against the New York Knicks.

“He’s healthy,” said Spoelstra, with Ingram not having played since Feb. 10, 2022 against the Heat. “I think that’s a big part of the success. Whenever he’s been healthy, he’s been an explosive scorer. He’s a tough guard. He gets to his spots and raises up above most defenses and he’s in a great system, a great rhythm right now.”

Only Larsson

Larsson, who sprained his left ankle in last week’s loss in Orlando, was the lone Heat player not to practice Sunday, as the Heat completed three consecutive days of work on their practice court at Kaseya Center, their longest training period since the preseason.

The only other player listed as out by the Heat for Monday is Terry Rozier, who remains on league-mandated leave.

Otherwise on the Heat injury report, rookie guard Kasparas Jakucionis is listed as probable with a sprained left ankle, with Tyler Herro (toe) and Dru Smith (hip) both listed as available.

For the Raptors, RJ Barrett (knee) is out, with the balance of their rotation healthy and not on their injury report.
