This documentary unearths a crucial new witness – the 16 year old baby-sitter to Susan Maxwell-Scott who was allegedly the last person to see Lord Lucan alive. Susan was one of his closest friends, and he went to see her shortly after the death of his nanny Sandra Rivett. This is the first time that the baby-sitter has come forward.
There are interviews with Susan Maxwell-Scott herself, as well as others close to the case including Lucan’s family, friends and Det. Chief Insp. David Gerring. Also investigated is the mysterious address book that gives a clue to the alleged whereabouts of Lucan in Africa.
