On a cold November night in 1974, British high society was rocked by a shocking crime inside one of London’s most exclusive neighborhoods. The nanny of Lord Richard John Bingham — better known as Lord Lucan — was found brutally murdered in the basement of his family’s home.

Hours later, Lord Lucan vanished.

What followed was one of the most infamous disappearances in modern British history — a mystery that still baffles investigators, journalists, and conspiracy theorists nearly 50 years later.
