London, England – Neil Berriman, the son of Sandra Rivett, who was believed to have been murdered by Lord Lucan 50 years ago, suggests that the peer may still be alive. Berriman, who discovered his connection to Rivett more than a decade ago, has teamed up with former BBC investigative journalist Glen Campbell to unravel Lucan’s potential escape to Africa in a new BBC series.
The British aristocrat became the primary suspect in the murder case after Rivett was found dead in Lucan’s London home in 1974. Despite extensive efforts to locate Lucan, including unverified sightings across the world, he has never been found. An inquest jury in 1975 declared him to be the killer, but Berriman remains convinced that Lucan is alive and on the run.
Berriman’s quest for justice began when he found a chest of drawers with a brown envelope containing information about his birth mother, Rivett, who was the nanny for the Lucan family. Determined to uncover the truth about his mother’s murder, Berriman embarked on a mission to track down Lucan, who was believed to have fled to Mozambique and assumed the name John Crawford.
Despite facing challenges in his search for Lucan, Berriman remains tenacious in his pursuit of justice for Rivett. The Metropolitan Police continues to keep the investigation into Rivett’s death open, with a spokesperson stating that any new information or leads will be thoroughly investigated.
The first episode of the BBC series exploring Lucan’s disappearance is set to air on Wednesday, providing further insight into one of the most notorious murder mysteries in British history. Through Berriman’s determination and the support of investigative journalists, the truth about Rivett’s murder and Lucan’s whereabouts may finally come to light.
