Guest Guest Posted January 7, 2015 I'm curious to know what happened to the bloodstained letters that are mentioned in that news article or are they being kept at Scotland Yard? and did Shand-Kyd keep all of the letters or did he keep some of it for himself,the part with the vital information..?

True, after all several nazis gave data points in that respect. I've reread the Wikipedia article about Lucan and it gave me some thoughts. Let's consider the following assumptions: Lucan did indeed kill Sandra Rivett. The lead pipe in the car he used is reasonable evidence he did. The story that he intervened in an attack by some third man is just that: a story. I wonder if the physical evidence from that time is still in existence and available for modern forensics. Lucan did not commit suicide or get killed soon after 7 November 1974. That leaves a man who Is wanted by the police and Interpol Has no valid papers Is effectively bankrupt Has little or no cash If he did indeed have friends willing and able to help him, gettting him out of the UK would involve some improvisation, but would certainly be possible. Getting him to a place where he could 'lie doggo' would presents more problems, such as getting a passable passport, but nothing that money can't solve. He was 40 at the time, so something like 'building a new life' is possible, but increases the risk of exposure. Financial support from friends or relatives for many years is possible, but also increases the risk of exposure. To keep such a scheme going, the fewer people in the know the better. It can be done, but dodging death and keeping it all secret for fourty years taxes my imagination. But again, several nazis showed it can be done, even when you're not an aristocrat and when you have very determined people looking for you. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,028 Posted July 15, 2015 Madeleine Florman, friend of Lucan, 85. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11741760/Madeleine-Florman-Lucan-friend-obituary.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Quote: Alone in her house on the night of the murder – November 7 1974 – Madeleine Florman was awakened by someone ringing the doorbell. She answered the intercom and believed the voice to be that of Lord Lucan, but he was so agitated that she refused to answer the door. Bloodstains, which were found to be a mixture of blood groups A and B, were found on the doorstep the following day by police (Lady Lucan’s blood group was A and Sandra Rivett’s B. Ten minutes later Madeleine Florman received a telephone call from Lucan, but after a few incoherent words he put the phone down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, I've read it and was stunned to find incontestable truth in there, specifically this: None of the principal players are still alive, making it impossible to seek corroboration. Also, the available evidence is contrary. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
