Description

This week, we're talking about the story of a man who was apparently, according to the New York Times, a "dashing British aristocrat and army officer, known for his prowess at backgammon and bridge and his fondness for vodka martinis, powerboats, and Aston Martin cars." Richard John Bingham was born on December 18th 1934 in London, and has earned an episode on this podcast because he just disappeared after a really weird set of circumstances that ended in the murder of Sandra Rivett and the hospitalization of Veronica Lucan. This was definitely a chaotic story to end a chaotic year, and we hope you enjoy listening!

We're so thankful you joined us this year, be it one episode or fifty two episodes, and we hope to see you all next year! 

Stay safe out there.

With love,
