MIDDLETOWN, C.T. –Connecticut judge has denied a request from a man rescued at sea to seal from public view a warrant that disclosed that he was a suspect in the 2013 slaying of his millionaire grandfather.              

A lawyer for Nathan Carman argued it could hurt his client’s efforts to find a job if the document remained in the public domain.               

The judge denied the request following a hearing Thursday.                

Carman’s mother, Linda Carman, of Middletown, is presumed dead after their boat sank in the Atlantic Ocean in September. Nathan Carman was found in a life raft.                

The warrant said Carman was a suspect in the still-unsolved killing of his grandfather, John Chakalos, in Windsor, Connecticut.

More recently police have described Carman as a person of interest.               

Carman has denied any wrongdoing.
