Nathan Carman, the man saved at sea after his mother disappeared during a fishing trip, requested a court document from 2014 be sealed.
The search and seizure warrant executed on Carman's former Middletown apartment in 2014. Police were trying to find the gun used to kill Carman’s grandfather, John Chakalos.
On Monday, Carman's attorney claimed the warrant could damage Carman's future, if "potential employers," "business partners" and others find out about it.
Carman was brought into the spotlight when he and his mother Linda Carman, of Middletown, disappeared during a fishing trip off the coast of Rhode Island last September. Their boat sank. Linda never surfaced and a passing freighter found Nathan days later.
Now, attorneys want the 2014 warrant linked to Carman's grandfather's murder sealed.
Real estate mogul Chakalos was shot to death in his Windsor home on Overlook Drive back on Dec. 20, 2013.
In the search warrant investigators note that in July 2014, an arrest warrant for Carman for his grandpa's shooting was returned by a judge, unsigned.

The motion to seal the documents said the search warrant to find guns at Carman's former Middletown apartment, "should not be a public document, as the investigation remains ongoing,” according to Attorney Trent LaLima.
LaLima goes on to write,"the allegations in the affidavit represent extremely serious accusations which have not been vetted by the court system. the facts contained would seriously threaten Mr. Carman's reputation and ability to seek and maintain employment.”
The FBI and the Connecticut State's Attorney's Office are investigating Linda Carman's disappearance and the unsolved murder of Chakalos.
The hearing on the motion to seal the warrant in question will take place in Middletown April 20, 2017.
