It remains Britain's biggest unsolved murder mystery. On November 7th 1974, at just after 9pm, Richard John Bingham, the 7th Earl of Lucan, vanished into the night leaving in his wake a scene of chaos and carnage. Stuffed into a US mail sack in the basement of his Belgravia townhouse, the battered and lifeless body of his children's nanny, a working class domestic servant. Her name was Sandra Eleanor Rivett. She was my mother and I was only six when she was brutally killed. Half a century has passed since my mother's killer vanished without a trace. A Lord of the Realm who mixed in royal circles, Lord Lucan's disappearance continues to fascinate people the world over. To mark the 50th anniversary the BBC broadcast a gripping documentary series that follows my hunt for my mum's killer. In this book I lay out in forensic detail the whole dark story of how a wall of privilege and aristocratic secrecy protected Lord Lucan and ensured he never faced justice, allowing him instead, with the backing of his rich and powerful group of friends, to escape abroad and live a life of luxury, moving on each time detectives from Scotland Yard began getting close. With explosive new evidence, entwined with fresh witness testimony, The Search For My Mother's Murderer traces my decade long investigation to confront the man who I believe, and science says, murdered my mum. It is an extraordinary journey of my relentless search for the truth in the face of an establishment cover up. How far would you go to catch your mother's murderer?
