Reiner deaths renew talks for families facing mental illness

Season 2025 Episode 357 | 8m 56s

The murders of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, allegedly by their son, have renewed difficult conversations for families struggling with mental illness and addiction. Someone who traveled that path is Virginia state Sen. Cree Deeds. His 24-year-old son, who struggled with bipolar disorder, attacked his father before taking his own life. William Brangham sat down with Deeds to discuss more.
