RESCUED MAN WAS SUSPECT IN GRANDFATHER’S DEATH
BOSTON A 22-year-old man rescued from a life raft after a fishing trip that left his mother missing and presumed dead had been a suspect in the 2013 slaying of his rich grandfather, according to court documents that add to the multitude of questions swirling around him and what happened at sea.
Nathan Carman was picked up by a freighter Sunday 160 km off the Massachusetts coast after what he said was a week adrift that began when his boat sank during a mother-and-son outing. Carman’s attorney said the mother’s death was a “tragic accident.”
Court documents indicate Carman came under suspicion in the killing nearly three years ago of his grandfather, John Chakalos, who was found shot in his home in Windsor, Conn.
