Man murders family for inheritance – Everything Law and Order Blog

In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Nathan Carman came from a wealthy family and stood to inherit millions. But his impatience got him into trouble.

In November 2013, Nathan reportedly bought a rifle. A month later, Nathan’s grandfather, John Chakalos, was fatally shot while he slept in his Connecticut home. Nathan reportedly received about half a million dollars after his grandfather died, then moved back to his home state of Vermont. He has not been charged in connection with his grandfather’s death.

In September 2016, Nathan and his mother took a fishing trip in Rhode Island. While on their excursion, the boat sank and only Nathan survived. He tried filing an insurance claim on the boat, but a judge denied him the $85,000 he requested.

In May 2022, Nathan was arrested on an eight-count indictment, including murder on the high seas, and other fraud-related charges. He will appear in federal court.

Nathan’s grandfather, who was a real estate developer, reportedly had an estate worth almost $30 million. Linda Carman inherited about $7 million, and as her heir, Nathan stood to gain the funds when she died.

Nathan remains in federal custody and could face life in prison if he is convicted.

Let’s take a look at the case of a young man and his alleged hunt for inheritance money.

  2. He used to come into the Home Depot I worked at, and rented tools for renovating. He was very odd, not social, and clearly kept to himself. He always seemed sad. The fact that he was at sea for so long made me think he didn’t do it. I almost think he knew about his grandfather and he mother was in on it. Sad to think we will never know as he passed away in jail.

  3. You don't go 100 miles offshore in a 30' aluminum boat at midnight to go fishing. Just like you don't drive 3 hours from Modesto to Berkeley on xmas eve to launch an 10' boat into the San Francisco Bay for 1 hour to go fishing. You only do such thing to dispose of a body.

  4. Can’t stand reporters! They have judged already and want u to only believe what spews from there news! I’M NOT saying he’s innocent or guilty that’s between him, judge, and if there’s judgement after death.
