Lord Lucan(1934-2016)

The 7th Earl of Lucan. One of the most controversial disappearances in history. On 7 November 1974, the Lucan family's nanny, Sandra Rivett, was found murdered in the basement of the Lucan household (46 Lower Belgrave Street, London). Lord Lucan was believed to have been responsible. The Ford Corsair he was driving was found abandoned near the docks of New Haven on Sunday, November 10, 1974 by the police. He was never seen again.

The most ghastly circumstances arose tonight which I briefly described to my mother. When I interrupted the fight at Lower Belgrave St. and the man left Veronica accused me of having hired him. I took her upstairs and sent Frances up to bed and tried to clean her up. She lay doggo for a bit and when I was in the bathroom left the house. The circumstantial evidence against me is strong in that V will say it was all my doing. I will also lie doggo for a bit but I am only concerned for the children If you can manage it I want them to live with you - Coutts (Trustees) St Martins Lane (Mr Wall) will handle school fees. V. has demonstrated her hatred for me in the past and would do anything to see me accused For George and Frances to go through life knowing their father had stood in the dock for attempted murder would be too much. When they are old enough to understand, explain to them the dream of paranoia, and look after them.
