The warning signs in the Nick Reiner case stretch back decades. A yoga instructor who worked with the family described childhood tantrums she'd "never seen" anything like.

He was in and out of rehab eighteen times by 2016. He was placed under a mental health conservatorship in 2020 for schizoaffective disorder. And

This week, a trust account expert told a Monmouth County jury something that reframes the entire Paul Caneiro case. Keith Caneiro's $3 million life insurance policy would only pay Paul if Keith, Jennifer, and both children were dead. All four of them. If any survived, they'd inherit instead. According to prosecutors, this explains why eight-year-old Sophia was stabbed seventeen times and left to die of smoke inhalation. Why eleven-year-old Jesse was stabbed in the kitchen and left to breathe smoke
