I think if he's still alive and went on to have more children genetic genealogy will solve it via ancestry type tests at some point. Otherwise nope.

It’s probably harder to hide a dead body than a live one, though?
Where could he have hidden himself that his body has never shown up?

He drowned himself. I agree with all those saying Newhaven, car, ferry etc. Body was 'buried at sea'.

He was eaten by ocean life a very long time ago.

Always been a bit obsessed by this case since reading my mum’s True Crime magazines in the 80s. He definitely wasn’t expecting the nanny to be there that night, I’m in no doubt that it was definitely him that committed the murder. The social set he kept were a bit ‘honour amongst thieves’ and very close.
Lady Lucan always believed he jumped off the boat and got butchered by the propeller but the testimony from Aspinall’s former employee did seem credible.

Probably watched everything I can find on YouTube yet still scratching my head 🤔

Nope. The most likely thing is that he commited suicide after mistakenly killing the nanny. He was bankrupt and about to be found guilty of murder.

I suspect he panicked and could see no way out. It's unlikely that he could vanish so completely otherwise. Sightings of him have never been reliable. People just like a bit of conspiracy theory.

But no body has been recovered?

Bodies do have a habit of turning up on the shore

recently that happen in north Devon, a dead body/parts on the beach

This was something I wondered

Has he followed it closely since/ what does he think?

Not much really. He was stationed in his house a few times in case he came back. He said the original scene was a real blood bath.
