This story reads like Sherlock Holmes novel, very intersting I think the man did not killed himself but just ran away.

Or that our government or royalty is or was keeping him in hiding after all he was a lord and respected and would have friends to help him out at the time of need.

Interesting article, this story is sure to wind up on "Mystery!". There's even a web site about this guy.

If he's still alive, as the son seems to believe, his days of freedom are surely numbered with all this 'new' publicity. ( Lady Lucan really soundl like a peach don't she. Wheww--not to condone murder..... But I do feel for her children.)

hehe, I used to be told the story of this when I was a kid. It is indeed a case which buried itself into the conciousness of the UK, not least because many believe it was a conspiracy by the Royal Family and government to cover up the murders up by making it look like he'd committed suicide.

Sightings of him have become a national past time since the murders happened hehe, I remember on a documentary a few years ago the last known place he was spotted was South Africa, but the investigating team missed him by a few days.

Who knows what the truth is...
It's one of them though, you almost don't want it to be solved so that everyone can continue with the did he/didn't he? Where? e.t.c. I don't think any answer would be satisfying now after so long, unless he turned out to be the devil himself...a bit like Jack the Ripper really.
