The victim’s sister Called it “a great Greek tragedy” – and he meant it.
In September 2016, Nathan Carman boarded a fishing boat near Block Island with his mother. A few days later, a freighter finds Nathan in a life raft off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard. He was rescued. His mother, Linda, has not been found.
Its story begins Death of the Carman FamilyBased on Netflix’s latest true crime documentary, A 2021 Wired feature by Ivan Lubofsky. Carman was, according to his father, “the first-born grandson of a Greek dynasty,” and when questions began to arise after his rescue, suspicions arose that what happened at sea was not what he claimed.
Carmen’s grandfather, Linda’s father, had been shot and killed several years before, and there was a lot of money at stake. For weeks after Carman’s rescue, the story made headlines as investigators tried to piece together what happened. Some thought Carman’s version of events didn’t add up, but his defenders pointed to the fact that he had autism spectrum disorder and was often misunderstood.
In 2022, about a year after WIRED published its story about the Carman family, Nathan Carman was charged with murdering his mother after allegedly inheriting her family’s vast fortune.
Directed by Ion Motskin, who made UFO sighting documentaries Encounter, Death of the Carman Family is produced by Jesus Camp Directors Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing, Mary-Jane Mitchell and Wired Studios. The film lands on Netflix on November 19. Check out the first trailer for the documentary below and Read more here.
