British paper The Guardian is reporting that it’s scooped Rupert Murdoch’s new Sunday edition of The Sun with the news that Lord Lucan, the British expatriate who disappeared in 1974 after allegedly killing his nanny, is alive and well. There hasn’t been a confirmed sighting of Lucan since the mid-70s. According to the Guardian, the Sun has been sniffing after the story, and caught a break when they tracked down a man who claims to be familiar with the aristocrat’s hideout in Botswana. Though there have been dozens of unconfirmed sightings of Lucan since he began his eccentric exile, he was declared dead in 1999.
