Lord Lucan helps Agatha Christie win Quote of the Day

Lord Lucan is everywhere this week, because it's 50 years since he murdered his children's nanny, attacked his wife and then disappeared.

The new Fortean Times has an article on the affair, which quotes the reaction of Agatha Christie:
“ I wonder what has happened to Lord Lucan?”
Christie may seem like a figure from an earlier era, but she did not die until 1976. And Lord Lucan died in 1974.

Or did he?

Excellent article in the FT, but I think Lady Lucan meant that as a commoner she had a /thicker/ skull than an aristocrat.
