In 1973 Lord Lucan, a
member of the British
aristocracy, disappeared.
He was living separately
from his wife but on the
day that he vanished, his
wife was attacked and
his children's nurse was
murdered. Some people
believe he left the country
and went to live abroad.
Other people think he
killed himself. Lord Lucan
is now legally dead because there was no evidence
that he was alive for more than seven years.
However, if he is still alive, he will be in his 70s.
