The late Daily Mirror journalist, Garth Gibbs, who died in 2011, used to claim his “most spectacular success” in journalism was not finding Lord Lucan.
“I have successfully not found him in more exotic spots than anybody else,” he recounted. “I spent three glorious weeks not finding him in Cape Town, magical days and nights not finding him in the Black Mountains of Wales, and wonderful and successful short breaks not finding him in Macau either, or in Hong Kong or even in Green Turtle Cay in the Bahamas where you can find anyone.”
