Overview
- Released November 19, the Netflix documentary revisits the 2013 shooting death of real-estate magnate John Chakalos and the 2016 disappearance at sea of his daughter Linda.
- Linda’s son, Nathan Carman, was rescued alone in a life raft about 100 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard after reporting his boat had capsized, and her body was never recovered.
- Insurers denied Nathan’s $85,000 boat claim, citing expert analyses of currents, an incompatible anchor purchase, and a judge’s finding of faulty repairs in a civil case.
- A federal grand jury indicted Nathan in 2022 on charges tied to his mother’s alleged murder and related fraud, and he pleaded not guilty as prosecutors alleged he made the boat more likely to sink.
- Nathan died by suicide in jail in June 2023, the criminal case was dismissed, the Chakalos homicide investigation remains open, and family estate matters continue in probate.
