Judge considers request to dismiss mystery deaths case

CONCORD, N.H. – Both sides in the case of a Vermont man accused by his family of killing his millionaire grandfather and possibly his mother are sparring over whether the case could continue in New Hampshire.

Nathan Carman, who represented himself Monday, also said he needed more time to raise money for an attorney.

Carman has been called a suspect in the 2013 shooting death of real estate developer John Chakalos in Connecticut. No one’s been arrested.

He’s been questioned about the day his boat sank with his mother, Linda Carman, aboard near Rhode Island in 2016. She’s presumed dead.

Carman has denied any involvement in either case.

Carmen agreed at the hearing Monday to release financial records. The judge said he’d consider Carman’s motion to dismiss the case.
