Heir, 23, Accused of Murdering His Millionaire Grandfather, 87 and Sinking the Boat His Mother Was Sailing off Rhode Island Could Still Get $7million Inheritance Despite Relatives’ Legal Fight to Stop Him

Nathan Carman, 23, is set inherit at least $7 million from his deceased mother’s estate. His grandfather, John Chakalos, was a real estate mogul with an estate estimated to be worth over $40 million; the estate was divided evenly among his four daughters in a will. Chakalos was shot to death at his Windsor, Connecticut home in 2013. Carman’s mother recently died in a boating accident in 2016.

Chakalos’ three surviving daughters are accusing Carman of killing both his mother and his grandfather. They point to a rifle Carman purchased prior to Chakalos’s death with a caliber matching the bullets that killed Chakalos as evidence of his guilt. They also claim that Carman intentionally did a subpar job on repairing the boat he and his mother took out when she died. The insurance company that investigated the boating accident said in court that the repairs were “incomplete, improper, and faulty.”  Carman denies involvement in either incident.
