Lord Lucan left three Cluedo cards in his car

Cryptic new clues in the Lord Lucan mystery can be unveiled today in the form of Cluedo cards found by detectives: Colonel Mustard, the lead pipe and the hall.

I'm possibly being too sceptical here but that seems *too* perfect a clue, almost like something from an Agatha Christie book to have the Cluedo cards matching the real events. I'll take their word for it but it almost takes away from the seriousness of Sandra Rivett's murder which is sometimes strangely overlooked whenever these Lord Lucan stories pop up.

I agree, the Cluedo Cards are bazaar, even if it is true. Also this book: A Different Class of Murder By: Laura Thompson was really informative. I listened to it on Audible.

I think a lot of people have followed the case and do care about both her and Lady Lucan.

''EXCLUSIVEWORLD EXCLUSIVE - BOMBSHELL LUCAN DOSSIER: The explosive case file that reveals the truth about Lord Lucan and the nanny he bludgeoned to death - PLUS a world-first podcast event on Britain's most notorious murder​

• Is Lord Lucan innocent or guilty? YOU decide in The Mail's brand new podcast: The Trial of Lord Lucan

By STEPHEN WRIGHT29 May 2024

It has been almost 50 years since British aristocrat Lord Lucan, 39, vanished without a trace

The Earl disappeared after his children's nanny Sandra Rivett was murdered in the family home

A bit of a sensational headline perhaps, but will be worth a listen. Anything new on this case is welcome.

 

[Dave32]

I've not listened to it but I'd be amazed if they had anything new to say.

Enjoyed the podcast. The Defence certainly do a good job of creating doubt of his guilt, but not enough for me. He had motive, disappeared, and half the murder weapon was found in his car. However, if he did leave the country, he would of needed to have arranged this in advance.
So, had his supposed plan been successful (killing Lady Lucan) the intention was always to get out of the country? This would immediately make him prime suspect. He would of not inherited anything from her will (for his gambling debts) and would have no access to his children. I'm edging towards suicide.

*The mystery surrounding Lord Lucan and his involvement in the murder of the family's nanny, Sandra Rivett has intrigued the public, journalists, and police forces around the world for over 50 years.

 

[wtiger]

why is it that when a "lower class" individual commits murder, they are called scum and vile
but when the offender is from the public school set, it's sold as "intrigue" and jolly capers??

this has been helped from minute one and deserves no publicity at all
