Richard John Bingham, the 7th Earl of Lucan, most commonly known as “Lord Lucan,” disappeared after supposedly failing to take his wife’s life on November 7, 1974.

The 39-year-old had been embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his wife, Veronica Duncan, following the breakdown of their marriage. Lucan had a dependence on gambling and was a heavy drinker, which ultimately resulted in him having to move out of their family home.

The night of the incident, Veronica and his kids were having dinner while their nanny, Sandra Rivett, was preparing tea in the basement kitchen. Lady Duncan grew suspicious as she did not come back for a while.

When she went down to see what had happened to Sandra, she found the kitchen in total darkness and was hit in the head by a blunt object. “Be quiet!” she heard, in what she would later reveal to be his husband’s voice.

Scared, Veronica took to the streets to ask for help, shouting, “I’ve just escaped from being m*rdered! He’s in the house! He’s attacked the nanny!”

When police arrived, they found the nanny’s body in a sack alongside a blood-covered lead pipe. Reports say Lord Lucan fled from London to Sussex and was never seen again.
