Mediumistic Private Eye Craig Hamilton-Parker
investigates Lord Lucan. And discovers the notorious nobleman
wants to say sorry for his crimes...
In one of Britain's most famous mysteries Richard John
Bingham Seventh Earl of Lucan, vanished in November 1974
after his children's nanny Sandra Rivett was found murdered
in the Lucan family home. His estranged wife, Lady Veronica
Lucan, had also been assassinated.
At the time, the Lucans were separated. Lord Lucan a prolific
gambler, had built up huge amounts of debt and Lady Lucan,
who had a history of depression, had recently won custody
of their children.
The next day, Lord Lucan wrote letters claiming he was
innocent, but had been the victim of a terrible coincidence,
but he was never seen again. Two days after the crime, his
car was discovered at Newhaven in Sussex. At the 1975 inquest
into Sandra Rivett's death, the verdict was Murder By Lord
Lucan.
There have been hundreds of rumours about what happened
to Lord Lucan and he has been 'spotted' everywhere from
Africa to South America! However, he was officially declared
dead in 1992.
We enlisted medium Craig Hamilton-Parker to discover what
happened after that fateful night...

72A ELIZABETH STREET
A flat in this building was Lord Lucan's
home at the time of the murders. The family home,
where the murder took place, is a short stroll through
London's posh Belgravia. Lord Lucan is believed to
have left the flat at 7.45pm on the night of the murder,
and then never returned...

BELGRAVIA STREET
After escaping her attacker, Lady Lucan
ran along the road to the safety of the Plumbers Arms.
"I've just escaped from being murdered. He's
in the house. He's murdered the nanny!" she managed
to tell onlookers who then called the police.

THE
READING
Craig tells us: "There's no point in me telling people
things they already know. But what I'm hoping to do is discover
whether Lucan really is dead or alive and how he might have
met his fate. Since Crime Confidential asked me to do this
reading, a number of things have happened to help me...
 After
our tour of the murder locations, Craig studied photos of
Lord Lucan before telling us about the messages he had picked
up from the spirit side.
"Visiting the locations brought me closer to the people
involved, " he explains.
He went on to describe what he thought may have happened
on that fateful night.
"I have no doubt Lord Lucan was the killer and I get
a feeling of panic, or desperation," he says.
I think there was drink involved and perhaps sleeping pills
of some kind. I know Lady Lucan has been having some form
of treatment, but I think Lord Lucan had been taking something.
He was clearly desperate - in debt, losing his children
and worrying that everything was about to come crashing
down. For someone with his background, losing your status
would be a terrible thing.
"I am also certain he is dead. I think he was drunk,
and he fell into water - it could have been suicide, but
considering the circumstances it may have been an accident."
It's been suggested Lucan either caught a cross-channel
ferry from Newhaven, or borrowed a boat to make his escape,
so Craig could be right.

DETECTIVES INVESTIGATE:
EMAIL FROM LADY LUCAN
 Craig
says: "I attempted to contact former Countess
Lucan to see if she would be interested in me doing
a reading. As I suspected, she wasn't keen. But I
actually do a lot of email readings and as I typed
a reply, I felt Lucan come to me. I am certain he
is on the spirit side. I sense very strongly that
he wanted to apologise. I told Lady Lucan this and
she said it didn't sound very like him. But when someone
is in spirit, they do often look back at their life
in a different way."

DETECTIVES INVESTIGATE:
A DREAM OF WATER
 Finally,
Craig revealed to us a dream he had the night before
we met. "When I knew I was coming to London,
I'd been thinking about the case and trying to tune
into Lord Lucan," he explains. "Last night
I dreamt very strongly of water. At first I thought
it was because he is believed to have taken a boat,
but now I'm sure I was seeing where his body is. I
was walking across grass, and I was at some form of
estuary - a river mouth, somewhere on the east coast
of England. But it was hard to get anywhere because
there was rubble and broken concrete everywhere. I
think Lord Lucan's body washed up somewhere here and
that's why no one has ever found it."
