"Such begins the story of The Carman Family Deaths, Netflix's latest true crime documentary, based on a 2021 WIRED feature by Evan Lubofsky. Carman was, according to his father, the "first-born grandson of a Greek dynasty," and when questions began to emerge following his rescue, suspicions arose that what happened at sea wasn't what he claimed."
"For the weeks following 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 could often be misunderstood. In 2022, nearly a year after WIRED published its story about the Carman family, Nathan Carman was charged with killing his mother in an alleged attempt to inherit his family's vast estate."
In September 2016 Nathan Carman left in a fishing boat with his mother near Block Island. A freighter rescued Carman alone on a life raft off Martha's Vineyard; his mother Linda was never found. Family wealth and a previous shooting of Linda's father fueled suspicion about Carman's account. Investigators and media scrutinized discrepancies while some defended Carman because he has autism spectrum disorder and may be misunderstood. In 2022 Nathan Carman was charged with killing his mother in an alleged attempt to inherit the family's estate. Yon Motskin directed a Netflix documentary about the case.
