Summary
<p>Linda Carman and her son, Nathan, set out on a night fishing trip. They don't return. A week later, Nathan Carman is found in an inflatable life raft, but his mother is nowhere to be found.</p> <p>Now, police say Carman killed his mother and sank the boat intentionally for a $7,000,000 inheritance.</p> <p>Carman is accused of enlarging holes in the boat, "Chicken Pox," to ensure it sank. The boat's insurer National Liability and Fire Insurance Co., asked a court to deny any insurance claim on the boat following an investigation that revealed Nathan compromised it before the accident. </p> <p>The insurer's report states that in "removing his boat’s trim tabs hours before departing on its final voyage, Carman not only failed to properly seal four thruhull holes he thereby opened at the transom’s waterline, but two recent depositions establish Carman<em> enlarged</em> those four holes.” </p> <p>This is not the first time Carmen has been eyed for a murder of a family member: He was reportedly named a person of interest in the 2014 shooting death of his wealthy grandfather, John Chakalos.
