4. Searching for Lady Lucan

The History Podcast The Lucan Obsession

Was Lady Lucan simply an innocent victim of a hideous crime or have we underestimated her when gripped by the story of the Lucan case?

The press portrayed Lady Lucan as a perfect victim: a tiny, fragile woman, attacked by a cruel and vengeful man. Lord Lucan’s friends said she was a volatile, difficult snob.

She is certainly enigmatic and intriguing.

With access to never before broadcast tapes, Alex von Tunzlemann looks for the truth behind the stories of the Countess and explores how her image emerged.
