Lord Lucan: Mysterious 'Boyfriend' At House Where Nanny Sandra Rivett Murdered | The Huffington Post Lord Lucan: Mysterious 'Boyfriend' At House Where Nanny Sandra Rivett Murdered 10/12/2012 09:12 110 The Huffington Post UK A mysterious "boyfriend" could have been living with Lord Lucan at the time the family nanny was murdered, and the 7th Earl of Lucan vanished, a new statement has revealed. BBC Inside Out reported that Lady Sarah Gibbs, sister of Lord Lucan, told police at the time of the disappearance that another man was sleeping at the house. He may have been having a relationship with one of a number of women in the household. Nanny Sandra Rivett was killed in 1974, and an inquest ruled that she was murdered by Lucan, who had vanished and has never been seen since.

Lord Lucan and Lady Lucan, before the murder Lady Sarah, who died in 2001, told police in a statement that her four-year-old niece Lady Camilla Bingham told of a mystery man who sometimes slept in "nanny's room" and sometimes slept in "mummy's - because she's got a gigantic bed. "We were talking about home, that is 46 Lower Belgrave Street and Camilla said the boyfriend always stays upstairs while we have lunch until we ring the buzzer. "I said 'Where does he live?'. She said 'He lives in the house with us'." Although the statement appears to imply the man was the boyfriend of Lady Lucan, estranged from Lord Lucan, Lady Sarah is believed to have said she thought the man was Sandra Rivett's boyfriend, according to the Sunday Mirror. Lord Lucan was declared officially dead by the High Court in 1999. The Lord said in a letter unearthed after his disappearance that before the murder he had witnessed an unknown man fighting with his estranged wife, Lady Lucan. Lord Lucan's brother Hugh Bingham has called for the evidence the BBC uncovered to be investigated.

"I'm encouraged by the idea that there is a fresh source of evidence and that I feel wants to be given a fair hearing and this seems to me to be one way of achieving that," he told the broadcaster. Sandra Rivett, who was allegedly murdered by Lord Lucan "Let us hope that now with the way in which the evidence seems to be gathering, there is a chance that maybe the inquest result could be set aside. "If that happened then the warrant of arrest would fall away and my brother's situation would be restored to the normal situation of a man innocent until proven guilty." Retired Det Sgt Graham Forsyth, who witnessed Lady Sarah's statement, told Inside Out he believed Rivett may have had a boyfriend who stayed over at the house. Since Lord Lucan's there have been more than 70 alleged sightings of him from Colombia, to Goa to Gabon. Lady Lucan has publically stated since the late 1980s that she does not believe her husband to be still alive. Who was Lord Lucan? | UK news | The Guardian UK news Who was Lord Lucan?

The mysterious disappearance of the charismatic peer has held the public’s attention for decades – even now he has been declared dead Lord Lucan married Veronica Duncan on 28 November 1963 Photograph: Douglas Miller/Getty Images Wednesday 3 February 2016 12.59 EST Last modified on Thursday 4 February 2016 03.56 EST Share on Messenger Close The myth and enduring mystery surrounding the disappearance of John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan, has lost none of its fascination in more than 40 years. That a death certificate has finally been issued – and his son George is legally able to inherit the family title – is just one more chapter in a story that looks unlikely to ever have a complete ending. Fantastic theories have placed the peer, who if alive would now be 81, as a hippy dropout in Goa, or backpacking on Mount Etna, working on a sheep station in the Australian outback, or being fed to tigers at a friend’s zoo. The most plausible, perhaps, is that he drowned himself, probably in the Channel.

At the time of the murder of Sandra Rivett, 29, the family’s nanny, Lucan was poised to lose everything. He was facing divorce from his wife Veronica, the Countess of Lucan, had lost custody of their three children in an acrimonious legal battle, and his gambling debts were out of control.

Photograph: Nils Jorgensen/REX/Shutterstock His obsession with getting his children away from his estranged wife had led to him spying on her in a desperate attempt to discredit her. The general consensus among those who think him guilty is that he murdered Rivett in the mistaken belief in the dark and unlit basement that she was his wife. Rivett was found bludgeoned to death with a lead pipe at the countess’s home at 46 Lower Belgrave Street on the evening of 7 November 1974. The countess was also attacked but managed to escape, running to the nearby Plumbers Arms pub covered in blood and screaming: “Help me, help me. I have just escaped from a murderer. He’s in my house.

He’s murdered the nanny.” Lucan is known to have driven 42 miles to the home of friends in the Sussex village of Uckfield, leaving them in the early hours. He recounted to them – and to his mother and other friends in a phone call and notes immediately after – that he had happened across his wife being attacked by a stranger in the house. He was lying “doggo” for a while, he said, because his wife had accused him of hiring a hitman and it didn’t look good for him. Three days later his borrowed, blood-splattered Ford Corsair was found abandoned – with a section of bandaged lead piping in the boot – at the cross-Channel port of Newhaven, East Sussex. There has been no further clue to his whereabouts since. In 1975, an inquest jury returned a verdict that Lucan had murdered Rivett. It was the last time a coroner had the power to commit a murder to crown court. The peer was legally declared dead by the courts in 1999, to allow his will to be settled, but the law at that time prevented the issuing of a formal death certificate, meaning his heir was barred from taking on the hereditary title.

Lucan was born in London to an Anglo-Irish peer, and counted among his forbears the 3rd Earl of Lucan, commander of the British cavalry who, acting on Lord Raglan’s orders, ordered Cardigan to lead the fateful Charge of the Light Brigade . Though he led a life of material privilege, Lucan’s early life saw him less blessed emotionally. Evacuated, aged six, to Wales and then north America during the second world war, he was separated from his parents for five years and on his return sent to Eton. Wealthy, charismatic, aristocratic, 6ft 2ins and with a luxuriant moustache, he led a decadent life. His expensive tastes included the best Russian vodka, power boats and smart cars. He was a leading member of the Clermont Set – similarly wealthy society men who hung out at John Aspinall’s private Clermont gaming club in Berkeley Square. Sir James Goldsmith, father of the Conservative MP and London mayoral hopeful Zac and his socialite sister Jemima , was another prominent member.

He immediately threw in his career as a merchant banker to become a professional gambler. Thereafter, however, his losses far outstripped his winnings. His disappearance left many unanswered questions, and also suspicions, always denied, that some among his circle knew of his fate. In another twist in the decades-old mystery, claims that he shot himself and was then fed to a tiger named Zorra at Aspinall’s Howletts zoo were aired as recently as last month.

Police reportedly investigated the theory at the time after Lady Osborne, Aspinall’s mother – and chancellor George Osborne’s grandmother – allegedly told them: “The last I heard of him he was being fed to the tigers at my son’s zoo.” Aspinall reportedly responded when questioned: “My tigers are only fed the choicest cuts – do you really think they’re going to eat stringy old Lucky?” A week after the murder, Aspinall, who died in 2000, told ITV News: “I find it difficult to imagine him in Brazil or Haiti as a fugitive. I don’t think he has the capacity to adapt.” Nevertheless, there have been alleged sightings in countries as far afield as India and Australia, and in Africa. One former Scotland Yard detective claimed he had been living in Goa, where he was known as “Jungle Barry”. A photograph of Jungle Barry, however, revealed him to be a folk singer from St Helens, well known on the northern pubs and clubs circuit, who had settled in India. He has since died. Police have checked fingerprints on beer glasses in Cape Town and bank accounts in South America.

Lucan has also reportedly been sighted at an ex-Nazi colony in Paraguay, working as a waiter in San Francisco, and living in a car in Marton, New Zealand. The now 8th Earl of Lucan has treated such sightings with weary equanimity, once saying: “I get a little tired when former Scotland Yard detectives at the end of their careers get commissions to write books which happen to send them to sunny destinations around the world.” Lord Lucan: Nanny murder began four decade long unsolved mystery - archive newspaper frontpages and stories - Mirror Online Watch Next Here we've delved into the Daily Mirror's archive for how we reported events in the week after the murder... Peer in nanny murder riddle By Jack McEachran, Saturday 9 November 1974 Police were hunting last night for the brutal killer of a nanny who cared for the children of an earl and countess. A man battered her to death and then attacked the countess In her Belgravia home. Last night, police issued a photograph and a description of the Earl of Lucan, and said that they would like to trace him to help with their inquiries.

The alarm was given late on Thursday by the 35-year-old countess— pictured above with the earl before they separated last year—when she ran from her home in Lower Belgrave Street shouting: "Murder." She staggered covered in blood into a nearby public house and screamed: " l am dying and my nanny has been killed." Then she started sobbing: "My children... my children." Derrick Whitehouse, a barman at the pub, the Plumber's Arms, said yesterday: "The customers in the bar and I were stunned when the countess staggered in. "She was bleeding profusely from head wounds, and she screamed: 'I think my neck has been broken.' "I covered her with a blanket and phoned for the police and an ambulance." Police raced to the countess's home and forced a locked door. In a blood - spattered front basement room they found the body of the 29-year-old nanny, Mrs. Sandra Rivett, in a canvas tent bag. Victim: Sandra Rivett, the nanny murdered by Lord Lucan They also found a blood-stained length of lead piping in the room.

More detectives went to 39-year-old Lord Lucan's home in Eaton Row, only 100 yards from the countess's house. They forced open a door, but he was not there. His wife's Daf car was missing. The countess was taken to St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park. She was still there last night. Relatives arrived at her home early yesterday and took away the couple's three children - Lady Frances, 10, Lord Bingham, 7, and Lady Camilla, 4. They had been in bed in a room on the top floor of the four-storey house. One police theory about the nanny's murder was that it was a case of mistaken identity. Lady Lucan and Mrs. Rivett, who started her job only five weeks ago, were of similar build and about the same age. In the dim light of the basement room, the killer could have struck at the wrong woman. The earl was still missing yesterday. But it was learned that he had phoned his mother, the Dowager Countess of Lucan, about two hours after his wife gave the alarm. Lord Lucan married his wife Veronica in 1963.

Wedding day: Lord Lucan marries Veronica Duncan (Photo: Daily Mirror) When they separated last year, the three children were made wards of court. Lady Lucan said then: "It is hard to believe we should break up when we have lasted ten years and could have lasted another ten." The 7th Earl of Lucan has always been part of the international jet-set. He is a bobsleigh enthusiast, a power boat racer and a keen golfer. The former Coldstream Guards officer was once chosen for his "English good looks" to star opposite Shirley MacLaine in a film. But later he failed a film test. Lord Lucan's great-great-grandfather - the third Earl -was in command when the Light Brigade made their historic charge during the Crimean War. Sea hunt for Earl in death mystery By Tom Tullett, Chief of the Mirror Crime Bureau, Tuesday 12 November 1974 Scotland Yard murder squad detectives were baffled last night by the disappeararance of Lord Lucan. He is being sought for questioning about the murder of his children's nanny and a vicious attack on his wife.

A dragnet put out by police in Britain and France failed to produce any lead to the 39-year-old Earl's whereabouts. Meanwhile, an armed guard was put on his injured wife in a London hospital. A policeman and a policewoman, each carrying a gun, stayed near her bed at St. George's, Hyde Park Corner. The search for Lord Lucan centred yesterday on the Channel port of Newhaven after a car he had borrowed was found in the town with Woodstains on the back seat. A special task force of Sussex police and Scotland Yard men searched nearly 1,000 small boats in Newhaven Marina. Hundreds of boat owners were questioned, and checks were made on hotels and boarding houses. Interpol passed an alert to all French ports. The car was spotted by a detective on Sunday afternoon, and at one time it was thought that Lord Lucan might have caught the evening ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe. But the Yard discounted the idea because passengers were screened on both sides of the Channel. Police are holding Lord Lucan's passport, but he could use a temporary one to leave the country. Throughout vesterday detectives followed up dozens of reports that the Earl had been sighted.

Police are satisfied that they know the tiller's identity. The Countess has given detectives an account of what happened in her house in Belgravia. But Detective Chief Superintendent Roy Ranson, who is leading the hunt, said: "I cannot comment on what she told us." He revealed that several people were being interviewed. Lady Lucan, who has serious head injuries, has told detectives that she spoke to the killer. Police believe the Countess was attacked first and her screams brought nannv Sandra Rivett to her aid. Mrs. Rivett was killed outright with a piece of lead piping. Lady Lucan was herself left for dead... but after the killer fled she staggered to a public house for help. Visit at midnight By Philip Mellor, Tuesday 12 November 1974 A friend of Lord Lucan spoke yesterday of her late-night meeting with the earl in her Victorian country mansion. Mrs. Susan Maxwell Scott told how Lord Lucan turned up at her home in Uckfleld, Sussex, only hours after the murder of the nanny in London. Mrs. Maxwell Scott said: "My husband was in London and I was alone apart from two of my six children who were asleep upstairs.

"I was surprised when Lord Lncan arrived at that late hour. "I invited him in and we sat and chatted over a cup of coffee in the sitting-room for a couple of hours. "I offered him a meal, but he did not want one. "We had a long talk, then he sat down and wrote two letters. "He gave me the two letters and I posted them for him." The letters were both addressed to a relative by marriage, Mr. William Shand-Kydd, a prominent amateur jockey, at his home in Cambridge Square, Bayswater, London. In one letter, the earl said he was driving past his wife's house when he saw her struggling with a man. Although detectives have refused to comment on the contents of the letters, one of them ends: "Look after the children, when they grow up, tell them the truth." Mrs, Maxwell Scott added: "Lord Lucan stayed until about 1.30 on Friday morning. "He didn't say where he was going. I didn't hear about Lady Lucan until Saturday. I then spoke to Lord Lucan's solicitor and afterwards to the police." Mrs. Maxwell Scott and her husband Ian have known Lord Lucan for about eighteen years.

Lady Lucan faces the World A hat covers the scars. Dark glasses hide the anguish. This was Lady Lucan yesterday, facing the world for the first time since her brutal attack. Her husband is now wanted for the murder of their nanny. Lady Lucan dashes to love tug court By Tom Tullett, Murray Davis and John Penrose, Thursday 14 November 1974 It was a day of drama for Lady Lucan. She left hospital yesterday, still nursing the head wounds she suffered on the night her children's nanny was murdered. Then she dashed to court where a hearing was being held over the future of her three young children. The private High Court hearing was before the same judge who just over a year ago dealt with the custody question. Yesterday's hearing lasted just under an hour. Then 35-year-old Lady Lucan drove to a London police station to go over statements she had made previously about the night of violence at her Belgravia home. This was Lady Lucan's dramatic timetable: At 9 a.m. doctors said she could leave St. George's Hospital. Lady Lucan, wearing dark glasses and a hat, sat between two detectives in the back of a police Rover.

The Rover sped to the Law Courts in the Strand, arriving at 10.30. Lady Lucan did not go into court for the hearing before Mr. Justice Rees. At the hearing were Lady Lucan's sister Christina and her husband Mr. William Shand-Kydd. Lord Lucan was represented. At last year's hearing, Lady Lucan was given custody of the children - Lady Frances, 10, Lord Bingham, 7, and Lady Camilla, 4. Then Mr. Justice Rees granted reasonable access to their father. No public statement was made after yesterday's hearing. Lady Lucan left the court with her police escort and was driven to Gerald Road police station to see Detective Chief-Superintendent Roy Ranson, who is in charge of the inquiry. She left at 1.15p.m.

Lord Lucan was dead within hours of murdering family nanny, new witness claims - Telegraph Law and Order Lord Lucan was dead within hours of murdering family nanny, new witness claims In dramatic courtroom scenes, private detective reveals member of peer's gambling set claims to have evidence he took own life and never left UK Lord Lucan with his fiancee Veronica Duncan in 1963 Photo: UPPA Follow The decades-long mystery of Lord Lucan's fate has taken an unexpected twist as it was revealed that a new witness has come forward to claim the peer killed himself within hours of murdering his family's nanny in 1974. Amid dramatic courtroom scenes, it was claimed a member of Lord Lucan's gambling set has contacted a private detective to tell him he has evidence that following the murder of Sandra Rivett at his family home in Belgravia on November 7, 1974, Lucan took his own life and had never left the country. If true it would scotch decades of rumour and speculation about Lucan's fate.

Over the years there have been repeated "sightings" of the peer in Australia, Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand, and even a claim that he fled to India where he lived as a hippy called "Jungle Barry". The new claim emerged during a procedural hearing in the High Court to determine whether a death certificate should be issued for Lord Lucan , allowing his son George, now Lord Bingham, to adopt his father's surname and title. George Bingham leaves after a hearing as part of the process of obtaining a death certificate for his father Photo: David Rose/The Telegraph Lord Bingham said he looked forward to the court making a decision to issue a death certificate for his father's death in the hope it would bring him "closure". He said: "It's been 41 years and its time to put it to bed. I'll get to know what my surname is for the first time in 41 years. But what's in a name?" Earlier David Vann, a pet dealer and amateur detective who has spent years investigating the mystery of the peer's disappearance, told the court he had been approached via email by someone he regarded as a "credible witness" in the matter of Lord Lucan's death.

Mr Vann said his correspondence had been an acquaintance of Lucan's and a fellow member of the Clermont set of wealthy gamblers, who had come forward because he was fed up with the "myths" and "theories" being peddled about the aristocrat's fate. "I have received an email that may be of relevance to this court from a gentleman who used to frequent the Clermont Club at least three times a week and has information that Lord Lucan killed himself on November 8, 1974," said Mr Vann. Sandra Rivett He later told The Telegraph: "The person who has written to me is very annoyed about the fact that all these theories about Lord Lucan's death have been put about to protect people, many of whom are now dead. "He says in the email that it was all over by 5am [of November 8]. This man was a member of the Clermont set and is in a position to know." Mr Vann now plans to interview the writer of the email and submit a statement, along with any further evidence has gathered over the years, to a full hearing to be held on the matter in the High Court early next year.

He added: "My correspondent has never spoken publicly on the matter before, nor has he contacted the police. He has approached me because he believes I have acted credibly in the past on this issue." Mr Vann, who also uses the name Ian Crosby, is a controversial figure. In 2009 he was prosecuted by officials from the Vale of Glamorgan for cruelty to tortoises and iguanas at his home in Llantwit Major, after which he was banned from trading or owning pets for five years. He has always maintained his innocence. He says that the email about Lord Lucan went missing after Vale of Glamorgan officials seized his files, including all the documents and correspondence relating to the Lucan investigation. The email resurfaced recently after the documents were returned. Lord Lucan vanished after Miss Rivett, nanny to his three children, was found murdered at 46 Lower Belgrave Street. On the night of his disappearance the nanny's attacker also turned on Lord Bingham's mother, Lady Lucan, beating her severely before she managed to escape and raise the alarm at a nearby pub.

The peer's car was found abandoned and soaked in blood in Newhaven, East Sussex, and a year later an inquest jury declared him to be Miss Rivett's killer. • Gallery: Lord Lucan's disappearance, and other unsolved mysteries In 1999 Lord Lucan was officially declared dead by the High Court, but a death certificate has never been issued. Sitting in the Chancery Division of the High Court, Master Teverson invited Mr Vann and any other parties in possession of evidence relating to Lord Lucan to submit it to the court, ahead of a full hearing to be held in February next year. Miss Rivett's son, Neil Berriman, 47, had previously objected to the application for a death certificate, saying it was "very, very insensitive" and that it should only be issued once the "truth comes out" about his mother's death. But the court heard that he has since indicated he has no objection to the certificate being issued.

Lord Lucan 'drowned himself after accidentally killing family nanny' | The Independent Crime Lord Lucan 'drowned himself after accidentally killing family nanny' 'When he realised he had killed the nanny the remorse, guilt and panic led him to commit suicide' Sunday 13 December 2015 08:11 BST Click to follow The Independent Online Lord Lucan disappeared in 1974 after the murder of his children's nanny PA A close friend of Lord "Lucky" Lucan has said the aristocrat drowned himself after killing the family nanny by mistake. The Tory peer reportedly murdered his children's nanny at the family home by accident, after mistaking her for his wife Lady Lucan, on 7 November, 1974. Rather than disappear abroad, as many theories suggest, Lord Lucan jumped off his boat and drowned himself in Newhaven Harbour, his friend James Wilson told The Telegraph .

He said: "I believe that when he realised he had killed the nanny the remorse, guilt and panic led him to commit suicide." Lord Lucan and Veronica Duncan on their wedding day in 1963 Lord Lucan allegedly intended to kill his estranged wife Veronica, the Countess of Lucan, who had filed for divorce two years earlier and successfully fought him for custody of their children. After killing Sandra Rivett with a lead pipe, he attacked his wife, who managed to escape. Read more Close We've noticed that you are using an ad blocker.

Lady Sarah Gibbs told police at the time the Lucans' young daughters talked about a "boyfriend" at the home, BBC Inside Out has learned. The 7th Earl of Lucan vanished after the death of Sandra Rivett in 1974 and an inquest found that he murdered her. His brother Hugh Bingham has called for the evidence to be looked at afresh. In the statement from November 1974, Lady Sarah said her four-year-old niece Lady Camilla Bingham told of a mystery man who sometimes slept in "nanny's room and nanny sleeps with us" and sometimes slept in "mummy's - she's got a gigantic bed".

Lady Sarah, who died in 2001, said in the statement: "We were talking about home, that is 46 Lower Belgrave Street and Camilla said the boyfriend always stays upstairs while we have lunch until we ring the buzzer.

She said 'I don't know, he hasn't told me his name'. "I said 'Where does he live?'.

She said 'He lives in the house with us'." When asked whether the man was the boyfriend of Lady Lucan or the nanny, Lady Sarah said: "I wouldn't know, I'm assuming she meant the nanny because Frances [10-year-old Lady Frances Bingham] referred to the boyfriend when I told her that the nanny was dead." Lord Lucan claimed later in a letter that on the night of the murder he witnessed a man fighting with his estranged wife Lady Lucan in the basement of the family home but the man fled. Speaking from his home in Johannesburg, South Africa, Mr Bingham told BBC Inside Out South East he was annoyed the witness statement was not presented at the 1975 inquest into Mrs Rivett's death. 'Result set aside' The jury found that Lord Lucan had murdered the nanny. Mr Bingham added: "It is certainly the first time that I've heard of a second man established in the house.

Image caption Lord Lucan's brother Hugh Bingham has called for the evidence the BBC uncovered to be investigated "I'm encouraged by the idea that there is a fresh source of evidence and that I feel wants to be given a fair hearing and this seems to me to be one way of achieving that. "Let us hope that now with the way in which the evidence seems to be gathering, there is a chance that maybe the inquest result could be set aside. "If that happened then the warrant of arrest would fall away and my brother's situation would be restored to the normal situation of a man innocent until proven guilty." Neil Berriman, who discovered in 2004 that Mrs Rivett was his birth mother, has backed calls for the claims in the witness statement to be investigated.

If he never murdered my mother and if there is another murderer I need to get to the bottom of it Neil Berriman, Sandra Rivett's son Mr Berriman, from Haslemere in Surrey, said: "As far as I'm concerned, he [Lord Lucan] murdered my mother - and if he never murdered my mother and if there is another murderer I need to get to the bottom of it." Retired Det Sgt Graham Forsyth, who witnessed Lady Sarah's statement, told Inside Out he believed Mrs Rivett may have had a boyfriend who stayed over at the house. He did not think the man was traced because the police believed Lord Lucan was the murderer "as was subsequently found at the inquest". Lord Lucan's estranged wife Lady Lucan has not commented on the witness statement. The new evidence came to light after BBC Inside Out South East was handed three boxes of notebooks, diaries, tapes and address books found by the daughter of the late Det Ch Insp David Gerring, a key detective in the Lucan case. The documents also reveal that police believed Lucan may have visited a Scottish estate in the late 1970s and could have been in Mozambique up to 2002.

Lord Lucan, born Richard John Bingham in 1934, has not been seen since the day after Sandra Rivett was found murdered. His car was later found abandoned in Newhaven, East Sussex. The peer was officially declared dead by the High Court in 1999. Since his disappearance at the age of 39 there have been more than 70 reported sightings of him in countries across the world including South Africa, Australia, Ireland and the Netherlands. Inside Out is broadcast on BBC One South East, South and London on Monday, 10 December at 19:30 GMT. It is also available nationwide on the BBC iPlayer for seven days thereafter.

Mystery caller 6.30pm - Lucan at his flat in Elizabeth Street. 8.30pm - Sandra Rivett puts children to bed at 46, Lower Belgrade Street. 8.45pm and 9pm - two reported sightings of Lucan at his club. 9.15pm - Lady Lucan claims she was attacked at this time. 9.45pm - Lady Lucan bursts into the Plumber's Arms crying out that her husband has murdered the family nanny. 10pm - Madeleine Floorman, a friend of the Lucans, is waken by her doorbell ringing, but she does not answer it. She was later disturbed by a phone call from a man sounding like Lucan. He sounded distressed. Later spots of blood were found at her doorstep. Approx 10.30pm - Lucan calls his mother telling her that there had been a catastrophe at the family house. Approx 11.30pm - Lucan arrives at the Maxwell-Scott's house in Uckfield. He looks dischevelled and his flannels look as if they had been sponged down. 12.15 - Lucan rings his mother from Uckfield.

1am - Susan Maxwell-Scott claims Lucan left her house. Next day - two letters written by Lucan posted to close friends. Three days later - Lucan's Ford Corsair found abandoned in Newhaven. Sources: BBC News and Lord Lucan.com Seven years ago in May 1998 Sussex police received several anonymous phone calls - all were from the same man who repeated the same story. The mystery caller claims that he was in the grounds of Grants Hill House on the night of the murder. He claims that he witnessed three men walking from the house to the bottom of the grounds. Taken by surprise the caller says he retreated into the undergrowth from where he witnessed two gun shots. Moments later he heard the sound of a splash. Two men, not three, returned to the house. That was his story. Inside Out spoke with two police sources who have confirmed the mystery caller existed, although they refused to appear on camera. In January 2005, Inside Out applied, under the Freedom of Information Act, to see Sussex Police's files on the case. Their response was that all the information relating to the calls in 1998 had either been destroyed or passed on up to the Metropolitan Police.

So we called Scotland Yard and this is what they had to say: "The Metropolitan Police are aware of this allegation but do not consider it to be a strong line of inquiry. The Lucan case is currently under review and will be for some months to come". Both Sussex and the Metropolitan Police refused to talk any further, so we decided to do some detective work of our own. Dead and buried? The witness who claims to have seen Lucan being murdered claimed that the body was pushed into a cess pit in the grounds of Grants Hill House. Inside Out decided to check if there was indeed a cess pit on the site of the now-demolished house, using old building plans. A cess pit did exist although it's very hard to know if Lucan's body lies at the bottom of it. Lucy Sideburn is a forensic archaeologist and a specialist in the recovery of human remains. Technology has leapt forward in the last 10 years with advances in underground x-rays and sounding equipment. Lucy finds some evidence of ground disturbance, but it's quite subtle. But to be sure of any body, she'd have to come back and do a much more detailed analysis.

Lucy Sideburn found evidence of some ground disturbance "We'd need to do it accurately with grids and take regular, spaced out readings to get the full picture, but there does seem to be something there." "To do it properly, it would probably take two or three days," says Lucy. "We'd need to pinpoint the location and, then, if it wasn't too large, we could start hand-digging it. "We'd need to find the outskirts of it and start taking it down systematically to see if there's anything inside." However the Police are in a difficult position, because the mystery caller and eyewitness refused to meet with them at the time of the calls. Unless fresh information comes in, then the only digging round here will be the gardener. "If it is suspected that there's something there, chances are that we'd be called in to help the police in a search. "Without any definite evidence, it probably wouldn't get that far," says Lucy. But she believes that it is possible that Lucan could be under the ground at Uckfield, "I would say bodies generally turn up close to where they were last seen". Escape to freedom?

On the night Lucan vanished, Derek Wilkinson was a Sussex police detective on duty at the Port of Newhaven. He has never spoken before. After Sussex police found Lucan's Ford Corsair abandoned in Newhaven, dozens of officers scoured surrounding countryside and checked ferry passenger lists for any trace of Lucan. "I remember there were only three passengers in the foot hall. There was a man and a woman who appeared to be husband and wife. "And there was a man with a long coat and a trilby hat. This man produced a French ID card. Lucan's car was mysteriously dumped in Newhaven "I'm quite aware from the photos that Lord Lucan wasn't the man that passed me on the foot hall," recalls Wilkinson. Derek Wilkinson has his own theory about Lucan's car being dumped at Newhaven. "I feel that someone else brought the car down and left it here. "I think it was a red herring." Dave is not the only detective who thought the car was a decoy. Detective Inspector Roy Ransom, who was in charge of the hunt for Lucan, had this to say to the BBC in 1993: "I don't know who put the car at Newhaven.

I don't think it was Lucan, no I don't." Eye-witness? Roy Blackmore was one of the two Sussex police officers who visited Grants Hill House on the night Lucan vanished. This is the first time he has ever spoken about the murder publicly. 'Anything's possible' says former Police officer Roy Blackmore Six hours after the Maxwell-Scotts claimed that Lucan left Grants Hill, Roy saw something very puzzling. It was a car bearing a striking resemblance to Lucan's Corsair. "We saw that vehicle go through at Uckfield, because there was no by-pass at the time. "We saw that car go through - I think it was a Corsair going towards Newhaven." But was Lord Lucan the man in the car? Roy and his Police colleague later returned to Grants Hill House to interview the Maxwell-Scotts, but they stuck by their story. The police officers did not search the grounds of the house, meaning that any fresh clues to Lucan's disappearance were not uncovered. "Lucky" Lucan? So did Lucan escape or is his body at the bottom of the garden in Uckfield? The 39-year-old Lucan was a professional gambler and member of the aristocracy.

He mixed in rich and powerful circles. His favourite casino was the Clermont Club in Mayfair which was owned by the millionaire John Aspinall. Aspinall was close to Lucan, although Countess Lucan counters this view on her website, saying that "John Aspinall was not one of the late Lord Lucan's best friends". Aspinall - did he help Lucan to escape? However, speaking in 1994, John Aspinall said, "I would have done for him what he asked". Aspinall also said that if Lucan had requested asylum, "he would had got it". It was rumoured that Lucan told Aspinall earlier in 1974 that he wanted to get rid of Lady Lucan to get custody of his children. In another bizarre twist, it turns out that John Aspinall had connections with Uckfield - he grew up only 200 metres from Grants Hill House. So could he have been there on the night of November 7, 1974? Whether he was or not, Aspinall may have taken the secret to his grave. He died of cancer in 2000. Final chapter?

So what did happen to Lucan after he vanished into thin air and was the mystery caller a hoaxer? And what happened to the mystery caller? It is now seven years since his last phone call. Just in case the mystery caller is reading this, we have left out one vital piece of information. Red herring or escape route? Did Lucan escape from Newhaven? That way, we'll know if we are talking to the man who witnessed the death of Lord Lucan or if we're being wound up. One thing only is certain - the mystery of Lord Lucan will continue to rage until new evidence or the mystery caller comes forward. The final chapter has not yet closed on a remarkable story.

Lord Lucan's son and heir launches bid to have missing peer 'presumed dead' - Telegraph Law and Order Lord Lucan's son and heir launches bid to have missing peer 'presumed dead' Forty-three years after he vanished, the 7th Earl of Lucan's son is going to the High Court to get a death certificate issued, which may finally mean the missing Earl's title can be passed on George Bingham hopes to inherit his father's title Photo: Rex Features By Gordon Rayner , Chief Reporter 9:00PM BST 16 Oct 2015 Follow For the past four decades, George Bingham has been largely content to be known as plain Mr. The son and heir of Lord Lucan, the aristocrat who has been missing since 1974 following the murder of a nanny, occasionally uses the name Lord Bingham, but has never been allowed to inherit his full title of 8th Earl of Lucan, even though his father has been declared legally dead.

Exclusive: Lord Lucan's son launches new bid to get missing earl declared dead pic.twitter.com/9KVSHZTgor — West End Extra (@WestEndExtra) October 15, 2015 With an impending marriage to the daughter of a Danish multi-millionaire, however, Mr Bingham, 48, is pursuing the Earldom with renewed vigour, using a recently-passed law to make a new application in the High Court. Mr Bingham, who works in finance and lives in the St James’s area of west London, announced his new legal proceedings with a public notice in the West End Extra local newspaper. Objectors to the process have been given 21 days to intervene. He has said he wants his father’s title to provide “closure”, but it would also mean that if he becomes a father he would, in turn, be able to pass it on to his own heir. "The High Court gave leave to swear the death of Lord Lucan in 1992.

However, it does not prove death for all purposes." George Bingham His wedding to Anne-Sofie Foghsgaard, 37, may also provide an opportunity for a family reconciliation: Mr Bingham has not seen his mother, Lady Lucan, since 1982, when she suffered a breakdown and gave custody of Mr Bingham and his two sisters to an aunt and uncle. The disappearance of Lord “Lucky” Lucan remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of British criminal history. George was seven at the time his father vanished after the children’s nanny Sandra Rivett was battered to death in the basement of the family home in Belgravia, west London. Lord Lucan and Veronica Duncan are photographed following the announcement of their engagement Photo: Photoshot Lucan was last seen soon afterwards at a friend’s house in Uckfield, Surrey, but was never seen again. Police believed at the time that Lucan had killed the nanny after mistaking her for his estranged wife Veronica, thought to be his intended target. The couple had fought a bitter custody battle over their children, which Lord Lucan lost. George Bingham believes his father is innocent but killed himself to avoid a lifetime of suspicion.

In 1999 the family was granted probate over his estate, though huge gambling debts accrued by Lucan meant there was no money to inherit, and no death certificate was issued, though the probate document stated that he had “died on or since the 8th day of November 1974”. In the same year, George Bingham was refused permission to take his father’s title and seat in the House of Lords. The Lord Chancellor would not let him take the title because no death certificate had been issued. Lord Lucan at a West End club in London back in 1973 Photo: REX However, the Presumption of Death Act, which came into force last year, has given him a new legal avenue. He said the new rules “provide a simpler and more complete process, which I have been advised to make use of. Call it closure”. Lord Lucan plays cards in a West End club in London Photo: Rex He added: “The High Court gave leave to swear the death of Lord Lucan in 1992. This is an old established procedure for settling a person’s estate when they have gone missing for more than seven years.

However, it does not prove death for all purposes.” Mr Bingham’s fiancée founded a shooting club in Scotland where her father Lars used to own the £25 million Sprott Estate in East Lothian. Known as Fie, she regularly competes, and wins, at shooting competitions on the European ladies’ circuit. Her 75-year-old industrialist father is also a crack shot on hunting parties. The mother I never knew was the nanny murdered by Lord Lucan | Daily Mail Online The mother I never knew was the nanny murdered by Lord Lucan By BILL MOULAND Last updated at 15:55 03 June 2007 A year before she died from cancer at the age of 74, Olive Smith told her only child Neil that she had set aside a brown envelope for him. "It contains answers to some questions you might have," she said. "It might be of help." Neil, who knew he had been adopted as a baby by Olive and her husband Ian, waited for nearly three years after his mother’s death, until the eve of his 40th birthday in February this year, before opening the envelope.

What spilled from it, apart from treasured first-birthday cards and other mementoes, were not just answers to his real parentage but a connection with one of the greatest murder mysteries of all time. Scroll down for more Among the contents was a two-page article from The Mail on Sunday of July 24, 1994, which told how Sandra Rivett – the nanny murdered by Lord Lucan 20 years earlier after he mistook her for his wife – had a secret son, Stephen, who had been christened with her maiden name, Hensby. As he read through the pile of papers in front of him, Neil Smith discovered that he, too, was Sandra Rivett’s son, born just under three years after Stephen to an unnamed father and also given the Hensby family name, and the Christian names Gary Roger. But while Stephen was brought up by Sandra’s parents, Albert and Eunice Hensby, as if he was their own baby, Neil had been left in hospital to be adopted. "I read the article over and over again and wondered what on earth it had to do with me," said Neil last week.

"Then I found an adoption note revealing that the name Gary Roger Hensby had been changed to Neil James Smith and the lights started to go on. "I just couldn’t believe it. It was like opening a treasure chest or something in Indiana Jones. My past and future were all in that envelope.’ The past, of course, included the chilling fact that on November 7, 1974, his natural mother was murdered by the 7th Earl of Lucan. Lord Lucan had become estranged from his 35-year-old wife, who had custody of their three children – Lady Frances, then ten, Lord Bingham, seven, and Lady Camilla, four. That night, after letting himself into the family home in Belgravia, West London, Lord Lucan used lead piping to batter to death a woman he thought was his wife. Sandra Rivett – described by Lady Lucan as "kind, loyal and dignified" – had been working for the family for only eight weeks and would routinely have taken that night off. But she had changed the date for the sake of a boyfriend and gone downstairs to make tea for the family. More follows...

In the semi-darkness of the basement kitchen, Lord Lucan – overwhelmed with gambling debts, looming bankruptcy and alienation from his family – mistook the 29-year-old’s slender figure for that of his wife and bludgeoned her to death before stuffing her blood-soaked body into a mail sack. Then, surprised by Lady Lucan who had come to find out what had happened to Sandra, he attacked her, too, before she managed to escape and raise the alarm. More follows Lord Lucan has never been seen since, amid theories that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the English Channel or fled with the aid of his well-heeled friends to a refuge in a remote part of the world. Speculation about his fate will doubtless continue until it is physically impossible for Lord Lucan, who would now be 72, to be still alive. Conversely, Neil Smith finds himself piecing together the puzzle of his own arrival into the world. His birth certificate reveals that he was born at the Royal Navy Maternity Home in Southsea, Hampshire, and that at the time his mother was a warehouse assistant for a wholesale chemist and lived in Torrington Road, Portsmouth.

The run-down terrace house is still the home of Sandra’s older sister, Teresa, 66, with whom she lived when she discovered she was pregnant. "Mum knew she was pregnant but I don’t think Dad did," said Teresa last week. "Sandra lived here until she gave birth. She had the baby in hospital and left it there. "She never told me who the father was. Sandra was lovely with kids but I just don’t think she was cut out to have them herself. There was nothing we could say. It was her business." Intriguingly, just four months after giving up her baby in 1967, Sandra married Royal Navy Able Seaman Roger Rivett, from whom she was divorced by the time she took up employment with the Lucans. Mr Rivett, 62, a taxi driver from Coulsdon, Surrey, refused to say last week whether Sandra had named her baby Roger in honour of him. Nor would he give any details of their relationship, saying: "I have never spoken about it and I don’t intend to start now." It has become clear, however, that Mr Rivett is not Neil’s father.

He was an unnamed estate agent with whom Sandra had an affair in 1966. One of the most intriguing documents bequeathed by Olive to Neil was a letter from Sister Doris Jones of the Portsmouth Diocesan Council for Social Work. It tells the family a little about the background of the boy who was about to become so cherished in their lives. Dated March 1967, it says: "I’m pleased to tell you that we have a baby son for you. He was born on February 4 and weighs 7lb 8oz. "His mother is a single girl aged 21. She was educated at secondary modern school and has recently been employed at a wholesale chemist. "She is 5ft 2in tall, has fair hair, green eyes and a fair complexion. She already has one little boy who at the moment is being cared for by her parents, and she feels that she can’t possibly bring the baby up properly herself. "The baby’s father is a man she has known for quite a long time but he is married to someone else. "Unfortunately, while his wife had a period in hospital, she [Sandra] visited his home on a number of occasions to help in the house.

Intercourse occurred and she became pregnant." The letter continues: "She did not want to break his marriage so came away from the area to stay with her married sister here in Portsmouth. "He [the father] is an estate agent, aged 24, is about 5ft 5in tall with fair hair, bluish-grey eyes and a fair complexion. "Baby will be ready on March 23. I will meet you with the baby and if you like him, you can take him home with you." That they liked him is something of an understatement. Neil, who was brought up in Petersfield, Hampshire, said: "To me, Mum and Dad were Mum and Dad and I could not have wished for a better childhood. They were just working people but I never wanted for anything. "Even when I was after my first car they seemed to get the money from somewhere. "I remember being at junior school when they sat down and told me I was adopted. They had a book which said it was best to tell your child this sort of thing at an early age. It didn’t bother me. "When you are young, you go round telling your friends you are adopted. It’s exciting.

I started thinking about it more when I was 16 or 17 but I never asked my parents about my real mother and father. "Maybe I mentioned to Mum that I might look for my real parents one day, but it wasn’t until she died and I still had not opened that envelope that I became a bit more determined." Neil admits that he was apprehensive before breaking the seal. "I waited for my dad to go out before I nipped into his house to look for it," he said. "I guess I was scared to open it. I just didn’t want to hurt him in any way because he has been so fantastic for me. "I hunted for it for about five minutes and found it in Mum’s bedside drawer. I went straight home and opened it. "When I came across the newspaper cutting about Stephen Hensby, Sandra Rivett and Lord Lucan, I just thought, 'So what?' and wondered what it had to do with me. "I thought Mum had put it in there to hint that maybe my own mother had been murdered. I didn’t put two and two together until I saw the adoption papers.

"Once I knew I was the son of Sandra Rivett, I spent hours looking at the Lord Lucan case on the internet. "I also punched in my name on Genes Reunited and have had an email from the daughter of one of Sandra’s sisters who settled in Australia." Neil is still undecided about whether to track down his real father. "I don’t know if I want to meet him," he said. "Don’t ask me why, I just don’t know. "I would never have dreamed of finding my real parents when my mother was alive because I thought it would hurt her feelings, but she obviously wanted me to go into it further." Incredibly, Neil’s half-brother Stephen Hensby has lived his entire life just over a half an hour’s drive from him in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Stephen, a postman, told The Mail on Sunday that he had even worked in Petersfield, where Neil was brought up. "This is all a bit of a shock," he said when contacted last week. "I had no idea Neil even existed. "I was only three when he was born and I had been taken to live in Australia by my grandparents.

We came back after a couple of years." But while Stephen – divorced from his wife Tracy, the mother of their 13-year-old daughter Stacey – has been haunted by his past, Neil is ready to embrace it. Divorced with two teenage children, he lives with his partner Kim and runs a successful building company. "My feelings about Sandra are not the same as Stephen’s because he was aware of her being murdered and I was not," he said. "Sandra is the forgotten person in all this. She wasn’t even supposed to be working that night. All the internet information on the case concentrates on Lucan." Neil admits: "Even though I never met her, she was still my mother and what happened to her was terrible. I can still read the coroner’s report and cry. My mum was always proud of me and I think Sandra would be proud of me. "I go with the theory that Lucan went to Goa, some wealthy people kept sending him money and he carried on playing backgammon and cards until he died not that many years ago." Lady Lucan said last week: "I know that Mrs Rivett had a son called Stephen, although she never told me about this herself.

I had no idea she had a second son given up for adoption. "She was the most satisfactory nanny we had and was loved by all the children. As a young and attractive woman she did have boyfriends, but not a large number. "She did not give me the impression of being promiscuous and never asked if any of her boyfriends could come to the house."

I came across it, while looking for a name that was a bit more original than Lucas or Luca. These names are beautiful, but a bit overused in my opinion. And that's where Lucan comes in. This name is especially great to use, if you've studied Latin or are interested in history.

It's a strong, solid name, which makes me think of a smart, noble and heroic boy. -- Alissa_Blue 11/2/2008 Lucan is also the anglicised name of a town near Dublin in Ireland. Its name in Irish is Leamhcán, meaning "place of the elms." -- Anonymous User 2/22/2009 A famous bearer is Lucky Lucan, formally known as Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan (born 18 December 1934). He disappeared on on 8 November 1974 after he allegedly murdered his children's nanny Sandra Rivett and attacked his wife. A lot of people believe he did it, but Lucan still hasn't been found and there are many theories around his disappearance. Lucan is now presumed dead. -- Anonymous User 2/22/2009 Lucan (now Lucan Biddulph) is a town in Middlesex County, Ontario. The Donnelly Massacre took place in Lucan in the 1880s.
