The Carman Family Deaths plot

Nathan Carman is a young man who, after a fishing trip with his mother, Linda, survives a week on a life raft off the coast of New England, while his mother is missing at sea. The incident renews attention to the unsolved murder of Carman's wealthy grandfather years earlier, leading to a media frenzy, a war over a vast family fortune, multiple investigations, and ultimately, federal charges against Carman for murder on the high seas. With access to family, friends, and detectives, the film explores mysteries of family, greed, perception, mental health, and the unpredictable mind of an enigmatic young man.

I watch a lot of true crime on ID Investigation and Play Crime, and I've seen much better ones there. It's rather slow, and I wasn't particularly captivated...

As guilty as can be...

There's absolutely no evidence of Nathan's guilt. The detectives find his behavior odd, even without considering his autism. Nathan was misunderstood as a child and even committed to an asylum against his will, but what reason could he have had to kill his grandfather, who rescued him from the asylum and supported him financially? If he were guilty, the case would be solved with his death, but if he's innocent, he was driven to his death by his family and the "justice system." Either way, this is a tragic case.

In 2016, after a search lasting over a week, 22-year-old Nathan Carman was found alive in a lifeboat in the Atlantic Ocean. Where had his mother, Linda, gone? Years later, Nathan was charged on suspicion of his mother's murder. A link was also made with the unsolved murder of Nathan's wealthy grandfather, who was shot dead in his home in 2013. A significant obstacle in the criminal case is Nathan's autism, which demonstrably causes him to think and act differently than "normal" people. It's a captivating mystery where experts reach conflicting conclusions, but where you also question the reliability of the interviewed family members—and there are only a few of them. The biggest problem is that the case is largely unraveled after half an hour. The only thing missing is the tragic denouement.
