Show Notes

Step inside one of the UK’s most infamous murder mysteries in this gripping two-part special of True Criminals. Hosted by award-winning journalists Helen Fospero and Martin Brunt, we uncover the shocking events of November 7, 1974—the night Sandra Rivett was brutally murdered and Lord Lucan, one of Britain’s most notorious aristocrats, vanished without a trace.

In Part 1, we take you deep into the crime scene in Belgravia, London, and re-examine every chilling detail of that fateful night. You’ll hear an exclusive, minute-by-minute account of how Richard John Bingham, 7th Earl of Lucan—a wealthy playboy and professional gambler drowning in debt and marital turmoil—became the prime suspect in a savage attack that left nanny Sandra Rivett dead and Lady Veronica Lucan fighting for her life.

Through powerful insights from investigative journalist Glen Campbell, who has pursued the Lucan mystery for nearly three decades, we reveal shocking new perspectives on the case. We trace Lucan’s desperate escape, the blood-soaked discovery in his borrowed car, and explore explosive theories of a high-society cover-up involving his influential friends—business magnate Sir James Goldsmith and casino owner John Aspinall.

Was Lord Lucan murdered, did he flee abroad, or was he hidden by a powerful network? Join us as we unravel the evidence, secrets, and unanswered questions behind the disappearance that continues to haunt Britain to this day.
