Michele Reiner’s Last Email: Inmate Nanon Williams Shares Final Message Sent Hours Before Death
Discover the final email Michele Reiner sent to inmate Nanon Williams just hours before her death. A story of an unlikely friendship and the pursuit of justice in 2026.
Just hours before the world lost a legendary filmmaking duo, a quiet act of kindness was transmitted through a prison email server. Nanon Williams, an inmate seeking a new trial in Texas, has revealed the final, touching message he received from Michele Reiner shortly before she and her husband Rob Reiner were killed.
A Heartfelt Correspondence Timed at 8:26 PM
In a recent interview with NBC News, Williams described the Reiners as "an integral part" of his life. The final email, timestamped Dec. 13 at 8:26 p.m. ET, arrived just a few hours before the tragic events at the Reiners' Los Angeles home. Michele wrote about a performance of 'Lyrics From Lockdown' they had attended, expressing her deep admiration for Williams and her eagerness to one day watch it with him in person.
The email wasn't just a brief check-in; it was a warm embrace in digital form. "I'm sure you have heard from Tera [Williams' wife], but the show last night was amazing," Michele wrote, signing off with a simple and powerful "Love you." For Williams, who has maintained his innocence since his 1992 conviction, this message remains a lifeline.
The Fight for Justice and a Family Bond
The relationship began in 2016 when the Reiners saw a play inspired by Williams' life. Beyond emotional support, the couple became active advocates for his legal battle. In 2024, after the Texas Forensic Science Commission found that incorrect ballistics testimony led to his conviction, the Reiners wrote impassioned letters to the board.
The Reiners' daughter, Romy Reiner, echoed this sentiment, stating that Williams had become like family. The advocacy comes at a time of heightened political tension; even Joe Rogan recently condemned comments made by Donald Trump regarding Rob Reiner's death, highlighting the widespread impact of the couple's legacy.
