The mystery of what happened to Richard Lucan, a dapper, moustachioed lord known as “Lucky”, has fascinated the public for decades and speculation about his whereabouts has long been a staple of the British press. Lord Lucan disappeared hours after nanny Sandra Rivett was found bludgeoned to death in his house in central London in 1974. A car he was using was later found on the south English coast with a length of lead piping. Over the years, the British press have reported supposed sightings of Lord Lucan across the world, including in Australia, India, the Netherlands and South Africa -- but his relatives believe him to be dead. Aspinall himself said in 2000 that Lucan had weighted himself down with a stone and drowned himself in the English Channel.
