Texas death row inmate Nanon Williams has revealed that he has just received delayed heartfelt messages from the murdered Hollywood power couple Rob and Michele Reiner, posthumously.
Williams, a 51-year-old prisoner at W.F. Ramsey Unit in Brazoria County, Texas, forged a friendship with the Reiners in 2016.
However, this relationship ended abruptly when the Reiners were brutally murdered on December 14.
Their son now stands charged with murdering his parents.
The friendship began when the Reiners saw Williams’ spoken-word performance, “Lyrics From Lockdown,” which was inspired by his poetry and prison experiences.
Williams, imprisoned since age 17 and maintaining his innocence, found champions in the Reiners.
The Hollywood couple reportedly emailed Williams nearly every day.
They even offered a home if he were ever freed.
Rob Reiner, initially unaware of Williams’ case details, grew furious over perceived injustices, while Michele poured out affection.
Williams cherished this dynamic deeply, seeing them as family in a system that often isolates.
On Dec. 14, the Reiners were found dead in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home by their daughter, Romy, who noted Williams had “become like family” to her parents.
Hours before her death, Michele sent an email to Williams.
However, the email was delayed by prison security protocols.
Williams said he only received the message after he learned of their murders via a prison tablet.
Desperate for answers, Williams emailed Michele, pleading, “Please, this can’t be true.
“Please tell me the news is lying.”
The last of three delayed emails arrived from the night before their deaths, after a Los Angeles performance of “Lyrics From Lockdown” attended by the Reiners and friends like Billy and Janice Crystal.
Williams reflected on their bond, saying, “Rob and Michele didn’t want credit for trying to help me.
“It was just because they loved me.”
Now, as Nick Reiner, the couple’s 32-year-old son, sits charged with two counts of first-degree murder, the story shifts to a darker family tragedy.
Meanwhile, Williams remains incarcerated after his death sentence was commuted to life in prison following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2005 ruling in Roper v. Simmons
