That's right, I remember that too. But that doesn't make sense either, does it? I agree that the wife is very convincing and she makes for a compelling witness. But the story just falls apart when you think about it and she's not telling it. What if the story is completely different, in light of the Maxwell connection? The part of the Enty blind that doesn't jibe is the idea that this reckless, feckless gambler has to borrow money to support his habit but in so doing gets dirt on his loan sharks. What if Lucan was in the house for another reason, and what if the nanny were complicit? If there truly is a Maxwell/Epstein connection then that could change the complexion of the night entirely. Wouldn't it make more sense if Lucan--the indebted gambler--is called upon to repay his debt another way? What if the nanny is a minder, or if she is attempting to bring the kids in to a ring? What if Lucan is told to do something so disgraceful he doesn't want to do it? Wild conjecture, I realize but as I recall Lucan often drank and hit his wife and behaved erratically. The gambling problem leaves him wide open to blackmail. If Maxwell helped him 'escape' then that means Lucan was utilized in some way and that the wife knows a lot more but cannot say hence the suicide story. .

Yeah the Maxwell connection definitely implies there was more going on. Interesting theory that the Nanny was a minder.
