For 38 years Fleet Street鈥檚 finest have chased the story of missing Peer of the Realm Lord Lucan. At the centre of the story was a Detective from Kent called Det Chief Insp David 鈥楤uster鈥� Gerring.

听

In day to day charge of the hunt for Lord Lucan from Day One, the night of the 7 November 1974, DCI Gerring courted journalists and reporters, knowing he needed their publicity to help his officer鈥檚 track down Lucan and solve the murder of Sandra Rivett. And over those years as the trail went colder and colder, DCI Gerring took home and stock piled all his personal notes, diaries and case papers in three boxes.

听

Eight years ago DCI Gerring died at home in Tunbridge Wells and those sealed boxes were passed to his daughter, Davina, where she tucked them away in a corner of her loft at home in Sussex. There they lay forgotten, gathering dust.

听

Fast forward to September 2012 and, after a friend鈥檚 cast off remark that the 大象传媒 were investigating the mysterious disappearance of Lord Lucan, Davina remembered her Dad鈥檚 boxes. The friend, realising their potential importance contacted me, and there began what can only be described as the start of an amazing journalistic experience.

听

As I walked up the drive to Davina Gerring鈥檚 home in countryside just outside the Sussex County town of Lewes I didn鈥檛 know what to expect. All she鈥檇 said on the phone was that she 鈥榤ay have something that would be helpful.鈥�

Half an hour later, and with the help of a flash light, we pulled out the boxes where they lay gathering dust up in her loft and for the next 2 hours we gradually worked our way through their contents. It was like going back to the scene of the crime in London鈥檚 affluent Belgravia. Photos, diaries, vivid descriptions of the crime scene and intelligence files.

听

The team here in Tunbridge Wells are still documenting DCI Gerring鈥檚 Lucan Files. It鈥檚 what he would have wanted said Davina when I last saw her.

听

鈥淗e would have liked someone to carry on the investigation, because the case was never solved.鈥�
