Welcome to Lord Lucan The Truth.com. First, thanks for visiting.
My name is Neil Berriman and I am the son of Sandra Rivett, the children's nanny who was murdered on the night of November 7th 1974 in the basement of the town house on Lower Belgrave Street.
Much has been written about that night, which has now become infamous, assigned to history as perhaps the UK's, if not the world's, biggest unsolved murder mystery. If you've found yourself here you probably know Lucan vanished after bludgeoning my Mum to death. He's never faced justice and my mother was allowed to just fade into distant memory, the accidental victim of a member of the aristocracy's whim to solve his marriage problems by 'doing away' with his troublesome wife. Well, needless to say, my mission is to keep my mother's memory very much alive and to seek justice. She is not 'just the nanny' she is a victim of violent crime who became secondary because her killer was a Lord, a Lord who was protected and who vanished abroad with the aid of his rich and powerful friends rather than face justice. Now you understand my motivation and what drives me, I hope you find the work we have been doing over the last 10 years of interest. Since starting this site I've discovered how still, despite the passing of nearly half a century, people from around the world are willing to get in touch and help. To those who have and continue to do so, my sincere thanks.
Before I leave you to navigate your way through some of the evidence and documents we have gathered, I just wanted to say that we are on the cusp of putting a great deal more information and research up here, so please do come back. My motto is simple, "Sandra was my mum, how far would you go if it had of been yours?"

Lucan: Is a mystery that has bewildered police and investigators for 50 years about to be solved?
On 7 November 1974, the dead body of a children’s nanny, Sandra Rivett, was discovered in a mail sack in the basement of a Belgravia townhouse. The chief suspect was the father of the children, an Eton-educated gambler called Richard John Bingham, the seventh earl of Lucan, who had disappeared. While most of Lord Lucan’s friends and family insisted that he had taken his own life, no body has ever been found. The manhunt for Lucan has lasted decades.
Thirty years after the murder, Hampshire builder Neil Berriman discovers he is Sandra Rivett's biological son. Along with his long-term collaborator, Glen Campbell, Neil revisits key moments and emotions in what has been a 17-year journey - starting at the night of the murder in Belgravia
