Heir to an empire, a real estate agent accused of killing his World War II hero grandfather for an inheritance, will stand trial this October. The killer also killed his mother. During World War II, Chakalos served in the Philippines, where he “participated in many high-risk missions”
A federal judge has set an October trial date for the heir to a real estate empire accused of killing his World War II hero grandfather and his mother in order to inherit millions and defraud an insurance company for more money. Federal prosecutors accuse Nathan Carmen, 29, of shooting his grandfather, John Chakalos , a former paratrooper in the army and a multi-millionaire, as part of a plan to withdraw money from the family trust fund.
He received $550,000 after his grandfather died in 2013, he killed his mother at sea and filed an insurance claim for $85,000. Judge Jeffrey Crawford set the trial charges for federal murder and fraud for October 2-20.
Chakalos from the state of Vermont in the USA, a real estate man with a passion for philanthropy and a family man, a month before the suspected murder, his wife of 59 years passed away a few years ago from cancer. During World War II, Chakalos served in the Philippines, where he “participated in many high-risk missions.”
After murdering his grandfather to take control of his money, his mother disappeared, a private ship found his mother dead while watching a lifeboat in the Atlantic a week later.
The fraud scheme described in the indictments accuses Carmen of committing two murders, the murder of his grandfather and the murder of his mother in order to gain access to millions of dollars in a trust fund and hide his responsibility for those murders.
