    Linzie Janis investigates the bizarre story of Nathan Carman, a 22 year old man who was rescued from a lifeboat after a week at sea claiming an accident sunk his fishing boat and claimed the life of his mother. Carman is steadfast it was nothing more than a tragic engine mishap of some sort. Authorities are suspicious because not only are there questions relating to the incident, but because his grandfather was shot and killed a couple years earlier and Nathan was the last person to see him beforehand. He was never charged in that incident and it is unclear if he will be here either…since the body and the evidence is 100 miles offshore under 1000 feet of ocean. Is he getting away with two murders…or an unfortunate victim of unfounded and unproven suspicion?
