Neil Berriman, son of Sandra Rivett
Welcome to Lord Lucan The Truth.com. First, thanks for visiting.
My name is Neil Berriman and I am the son of Sandra Rivett, the children's nanny who was murdered on the night of November 7th 1974 in the basement of the town house on Lower Belgrave Street.
Much has been written about that night, which has now become infamous, assigned to history as perhaps the UK's, if not the world's, biggest unsolved murder mystery. If you've found yourself here you probably know Lucan vanished after bludgeoning my Mum to death. He's never faced justice and my mother was allowed to just fade into distant memory, the accidental victim of a member of the aristocracy's whim to solve his marriage problems by 'doing away' with his troublesome wife. Well, needless to say, my mission is to keep my mother's memory very much alive and to seek justice. She is not 'just the nanny' she is a victim of violent crime who became secondary because her killer was a Lord, a Lord who was protected and who vanished abroad with the aid of his rich and powerful friends rather than face justice. Now you understand my motivation and what drives me, I hope you find the work we have been doing over the last 10 years of interest. Since starting this site I've discovered how still, despite the passing of nearly half a century, people from around the world are willing to get in touch and help. To those who have and continue to do so, my sincere thanks.
Before I leave you to navigate your way through some of the evidence and documents we have gathered, I just wanted to say that we are on the cusp of putting a great deal more information and research up here, so please do come back. My motto is simple, "Sandra was my mum, how far would you go if it had of been yours?"

“Hi Neil, I wanted to say that my friends and I who watched your documentary ALL agree with you that the guy in Australia is Lord Lucan. You had SO much evidence pointing towards that, and yet, the doubters had only ONE piece of supposed evidence, that one man 'recognised' him as Peter Jason. That's nothing compared to the evidence that you have. And your suggestion that this man in Australia stole Crawford's identity seems to be common sense and very likely scenario, given that he has changed his name four times... We all thought you were a brilliant investigative reporter, whereas he really didn't do much and appeared to change his mind based on what only one person said! As you said, it seems more likely that Lord Lucan stole the identity of Crawford. You certainly convinced a room full of people here, and we can't imagine how anyone could reach a different conclusion. What an amazing man you are. Congratulations. You were the complete star of the show and we are all on your side and agree with you, that you found him. One question baffled us - what about DNA? That would have been conclusive. Why did no-one attempt to get DNA? Apart from that, we were all massively impressed and have a huge respect for you - and sympathy for you having to deal with all those doubters, against all the evidence that you have. With best wishes.”

BREAKING UPDATE!
CANADIAN DRAG ARTIST IS NOT A MATCH FOR OLD ENGLISHMAN IN AUSTRALIA. SO WHO IS HE?
The BBC's Lucan series continues to captivate the British public as it follows my quest for the truth. Part 3 concludes with grainy photos of a young man dressed as a woman taken, we are told, in Toronto, Canada in August 1969. The old Englishman in Australia, who I contest IS Lord Lucan, says these photos of a man calling himself Peter Jason IS him 56 years ago and proves he can't be the missing Earl. This is backed up by testimony from a retired theatre director who tells the BBC he recognises the old Englishman as being the drag artist he knew as Peter Jason ... but wait a minute ... what if someone ran a fresh Artificial Intelligence test, a new Deep Face recognition program comparing the old Englishman in Australia who calls himself Derek Crowther against the 1969 photographs of the drag artist in Canada called Peter Jason. Would they match?
'Here's the data. We ran a Deepface AI search comparing the images of the old Englishman in Australia called Derek Crowther against the 1969 images of the young man in Toronto seen here in drag. The highest hit was just 26.92%. The lowest a resounding 0.00%. The report concludes quite simply with the words "none are deemed to be a match by the DeepFace framework."
Please analyse the results yourselves. I welcome all feedback and there may be experts out there who can help further. Two eye witnesses and three respected AI Deep Face programs say the old Englishman in Australia IS Lucan. One retired theatre director in Canada believes he is actually an elderly drag artist who he knew in the summer of 1969 as Peter Jason. My final bit of evidence. IF these two men are one and the same, why do they both have different eye colours? Lucan's were blue. The old Man's in Australia are blue. The young drag artist has hazel eyes.

Lucan: Is a mystery that has bewildered police and investigators for 50 years about to be solved?
On 7 November 1974, the dead body of a children’s nanny, Sandra Rivett, was discovered in a mail sack in the basement of a Belgravia townhouse. The chief suspect was the father of the children, an Eton-educated gambler called Richard John Bingham, the seventh earl of Lucan, who had disappeared. While most of Lord Lucan’s friends and family insisted that he had taken his own life, no body has ever been found. The manhunt for Lucan has lasted decades.
Thirty years after the murder, Hampshire builder Neil Berriman discovers he is Sandra Rivett's biological son. Along with his long-term collaborator, Glen Campbell, Neil revisits key moments and emotions in what has been a 17-year journey - starting at the night of the murder in Belgravia
