In the haunting true crime documentary "The Carman Family Deaths" now streaming on Netflix, the disappearance of 69-year-old Linda Carman has left behind a trail of questions and a family torn apart by grief and suspicion. In September 2016, Linda's son Nathan took off in a fishing boat with her near Block Island. A few days later, a freighter spotted Nathan clinging to a life raft off the coast of Martha's Vineyard - a dramatic rescue that would change everything.
As investigators dug deeper into what happened at sea, they uncovered a web of deceit and motives that implicated not only Linda but also her family members and business associates. The investigation revealed a complex picture of greed, power struggles, and long-buried secrets, all of which pointed to the tragic events that transpired on that fateful day.
Directed by Yon Motskin, "The Carman Family Deaths" delves into the heart-wrenching story of Linda's disappearance and its far-reaching consequences. The documentary is based on a 2021 WIRED feature by Evan Lubofsky and features interviews with those closest to the family, including Nathan himself.
Nathan's defense team has long argued that his autism spectrum disorder played a significant role in his supposed fabrication of events, but as the investigation progressed, more evidence surfaced suggesting otherwise. It was eventually revealed that Nathan had been charged with murder - an alleged attempt to inherit his late grandfather's vast estate worth millions of dollars.
In 2022, just over a year after WIRED first reported on the Carman family's story, Nathan faced justice for allegedly orchestrating his mother's disappearance and death. The charges marked a devastating end to the family saga that captivated the nation.
Through exclusive interviews with key figures in the case, "The Carman Family Deaths" offers an unflinching look into the darker side of human nature - where motives can be twisted and lies can be spun to cover up deep-seated desires for power and wealth. This gripping true crime documentary will leave viewers on the edge of their seats as they unravel the tangled threads of a tragic tale that refuses to let go.
Watch "The Carman Family Deaths" on Netflix now, but proceed with caution - the truth is far more complex than what may initially meet the eye.

Watch "The Carman Family Deaths" on Netflix now, but proceed with caution - the truth is far more complex than what may initially meet the eye.
. It's crazy how a family can turn against each other like that. But at the same time, it's also really interesting to see how much of a web of deceit Nathan had spun around him 
. And I feel bad for his mom Linda - she was just trying to protect her family and provide for them 
.
. It's a reminder that nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and sometimes the truth can be really complicated 
.
. And this one definitely delivers on that front 
. So yeah, watch it but go in with a critical eye 
.
. I mean, can you believe the guy was charged with murder? It's like something out of a thriller novel. And the autism spectrum disorder thing just raises more questions - did he really fabricate those events or was it all part of some twisted game? The family dynamics are wild too, like they were playing this massive game of cat and mouse. It's not surprising that the truth is complex and hard to swallow - human nature can be pretty messed up 
. But at the same time, I feel bad for Linda's kids, having to deal with all this trauma and suspicion. It's a wild ride, but also super disturbing 
this documentary is super messed up 
no wonder he has autism, all those people are hiding something 
i mean, who tries to fake a life raft rescue for millions of dollars? 
this whole thing reeks of manipulation 
btw, i'm not saying he's innocent but come on, some ppl need to take responsibility for their actions 
Meanwhile, we're over here like "wait, didn't they just get done with trial and verdict in 2022?" 
I'm not buying that Nathan would go through all that drama just to get his hands on some cash... There's gotta be more to it than that.
. Anyway, back to this true crime docu... I mean, have you guys ever noticed how some people's facial expressions can totally give away their emotions? Like, Nathan in the documentary, his guilt face was giving me LIFE 
. But seriously though, what's up with all these rich ppl and their family dramas? It's like, they got so caught up in their own problems, they forgot to be decent human beings 
. And can we talk about how complex the law is? Like, Nathan was charged with murder, but he had autism, so was that just a convenient excuse? 
The investigation was so twisted, it made me wonder if they'd ever find any real answers. And Nathan, his autism or not, he seemed pretty level-headed for someone who'd allegedly orchestrated his mom's disappearance... I don't know, man, it just feels like a lot of people were hiding something 
Autistic or not, fabricating a story like that is some next level stuff. And the motive for murder... millions of dollars?! That's just crazy talk 
. It's like, what even is going on here? Did his autism really make him fabricate everything or was there more to it? I need some more info before I can fully grasp the whole situation 
. Has anyone else seen this docu and have any thoughts? 
I mean i'm already watching it on netflix rn and i'm hooked 
.
. And the fact that Nathan had to live with this guilt and paranoia for years... it's heartbreaking 
.
. Nathan's autism spectrum disorder? Yeah, sure, maybe he had some cognitive struggles but that doesn't mean he was capable of orchestrating his mom's disappearance and death 
. Give me a break 
. And what's with the drama about Nathan's autism spectrum disorder? Maybe he wasn't faking anything, maybe he was just trying to get some help for his mom 
. Anyway, watching this doc is def on my watchlist 
. The family dynamics were already pretty toxic, but the investigation revealed some seriously dark stuff about everyone involved 
.
