Two deaths. A missing mother. A millionaire family dynasty. A socially isolated young man on the autism spectrum. And a documentary that answers nothing.
In this episode, Stephanie and Ben break down the baffling case of Nathan Carman — the man linked to the shooting death of his grandfather and the disappearance of his mother at sea. Was he a calculating killer? A misunderstood neurodivergent man caught in a storm of suspicion? Or is there far more going on beneath the surface?
We unpack:
The 2013 murder of millionaire developer John Chakalos
The mysterious 2016 boating trip where Linda Carman vanished
Why police zeroed in on Nathan
Autism, interrogation, and how neurodivergent people are misread by law enforcement
The inheritance battles that fueled family suspicion
Nathan’s confusing behaviors, red flags, and contradictions
The shocking end: Nathan’s death by suicide before trial
And yes — Stephanie drops a theory that might blow your mind.
If you’re into unsolved mysteries, psychological complexity, or cases where every theory is possible, you’re going to want to listen to this one straight through.
This episode is uncomfortable, thought-provoking, and deeply human. And trust us… you’ll walk away with your own theory.
