Carman, 22, who grew up in Middletown and now lives in Vermont, was rescued Sunday about 100 nautical miles south of Martha's Vineyard by a passing freighter. Last Sunday at 6:30 p.m., the Coast Guard got a report that Linda Carman, 54, and her son Nathan, 22, both from Middletown, Connecticut, didn't return from an offshore fishing trip. The two had been in a 31-foot aluminum boat, leaving Point Judith, R.I., late on Sept. 17 for a fishing trip. The day was in honor of Nathan, as well as Isabella Oleschuck, another person who went missing but was found safe in 2011.  BLOCK ISLAND, R.I. (CBS) — One of two missing boaters was found alive Sunday, just days after the Coast Guard suspended its weeklong search for the pair. Saturday night, friends held a vigil for the Carman's at Linda's home. "However, we are not going to reopen the search for Linda Carman." He was found on a four person inflatable life raft that is required safety equipment 
 
 The family has been notified. The Coast Guard suspended their search for the pair on Friday after searching over 62,000 square nautical miles, an area larger than the state of Georgia. Nathan Carman, reported to be in good condition, was picked up by the freighter Orient Lucky, now heading to Boston, Groll said. Santos said his office has contacted the U.S. Coast Guard as well as U.S. Attorney's offices in Connecticut and Massachusetts to let them know that whether "he needs a lawyer or not" Carman has an attorney who wants to be present before any interviews are done. Nathan Carman, who grew up in Middletown and lives in Vermont, and his mother told friends they were going to Block Island to fish and would return the morning of Sept. 18. She also said Linda Carman's family was planning to offer a reward for information about Linda and the boat "to find out what happened." Nathan Carman in 2011 was the subject of a multistate search when he unexpectedly left town at 17 years old and turned up four days later in Virginia.
– A missing 22-year-old boater who'd been given up for dead is safe and sound aboard an ocean freighter that spotted his life raft. His mother, however, remains lost at sea. Nathan and Linda Carman went missing on Sept. 18 after setting off from Rhode Island on a fishing trip in their 32-foot boat. The Coast Guard searched more than 60,000 square nautical miles, an area bigger than Georgia, before suspending its hunt on Friday, reports CBS Boston. On Sunday, however, a freighter about 100 miles south of Martha's Vineyard picked up Nathan in a four-person inflatable raft. He's in good condition, so much so that he will remain on the ship until it reaches land on Tuesday. It remains unclear what happened or whether there's a chance 54-year-old Linda Carman is alive. "She was not in the raft," says a Coast Guard spokesperson, per the Hartford Courant. "The whole situation is under investigation." The Carmans regularly went out fishing along the coast, perhaps once a month, says a family friend. Nathan lives in Vermont and Linda in Connecticut. Nathan, who has Asperger's, was the focus of a previous search mission in 2011, reports Fox61. He disappeared at age 17 from Connecticut after the loss of his horse and turned up four days later in Virginia. In fact, Connecticut declared a Missing Person's Day after the incident, a move in honor of Nathan and a woman who went missing in a separate incident. (This boater survived thanks to skills that would have impressed MacGyver.)
