Carman lawyer airs dirty laundry
Judge OKs deposition of ‘Mistress Y’
Nathan Carman's lawyer has been give the green light by a federal judge to depose a Connecticut woman police reports indicate accepted $3,500 from his slain 87-year-old grandfather for breast augmentation surgery in exchange for her companionship. The woman, who police said was in her mid-20s on Dec. 19, 2013, when millionaire John Chakalos was shot to death with a rifle in his Windsor, Conn., home, is referred to as “Mistress Y” in court documents filed by Carman's lawyer David F. Anderson in U.S. District Court of Rhode Island. A copy of a Windsor Police Department report on a detective's interview with the woman included with Carman’s papers was redacted to protect her identity as a prospective witness. The filing was made in support of the 24-year-old Carman’s defense against a lawsuit by National Liability and Fire Insurance. The company is attempting to avoid paying Carman $85,000 for the loss of his 31-foot sport fishing cruiser Chicken Pox off Block Island in 2016. Carman’s mother, Linda Carman, 54, one of the heirs to her father’s $44 million fortune, was on the trip and has not been seen since. Her son and only heir has not been formally charged with either her presumed death or his grandfather’s slaying, though National Liability and Fire Insurance has produced documents showing Carman paid $2,100 cash for a Sig Sauer 716 Patrol .308-caliber rifle in Hooksett, N.H., less than a month before Chakalos was slain after the two went out to dinner. Mistress Y told police her friendship with Chakalos heated up when he reached out to her a couple of weeks after his wife’s death. Days before his murder, she said she and Chakalos shared a room at the Mohegan Sun Casino. “While they were at the casino, he gave her $3,500, which she felt he was assisting her for paying for the surgery and she showed him her boobs,” the police report states. Mistress Y said the two made out, but she did not have sex with him. A police timeline of Chakalos’ travels the day of his death states he visited an adult entertainment store in Hartford called the Luv Boutique. Hinting at a robbery gone wrong, Anderson claims Chakalos and Mistress Y spoke by phone before he was killed and that in addition to being aware he carried around large wads of cash, she “correctly believed” Carman had left after dinner and Chakalos would be home alone for the rest of the night.
