Documentary Explores Mystery of Lord Lucan

The mystery surrounding Lord Lucan, who vanished in 1974 just before the murder of his children's nanny Sandra Rivett, remains a topic of intrigue nearly fifty years later. A new BBC documentary series explores the case, with insights from Neil Berriman, the son of Rivett, who believes Lucan may still be alive and hiding in Africa. Lucan, born to an aristocratic family, was known for his lavish lifestyle and gambling habits, which contributed to his downfall and tumultuous marriage. After Rivett's murder, police launched a manhunt but found only Lucan's belongings, including a recently revealed passport photo, at his empty flat. Although officially declared dead in 1999, no body has ever been found, fueling ongoing speculation about his fate. The case continues to captivate the public and raises questions about justice for Rivett and her family.
