Summary

In a bit of an attachment to Lynn Wyatt, our main subject this week, we could not let this particular story fall to the wayside. Lynn had a pretty terrible first marriage early in life to a playboy heir, Robert Lipman. After their divorce, Robert took himself on quite an international tour of travel, and so many drugs. It was in 1967, in swinging Chelsea, that Robert took more than drugs - he took the life of a young girl too, Claudie Delbarre. The manhunt and trial certainly bring to light the power and privilege of the upper crust, and a decided lack of justice too.

0:00.0	Welcome to Dun & Dun. I'm Alicia, your hostess on this podcast journey, All Things Dominic Dunn. Thank you for joining me today.
0:09.0	But today we're veering away from Dominic Dunn just a little bit. In our last episode, we had done reporting on Lynn Wyatt and her husband, Oscar, and all the criminal charges.
0:19.3	And like, you know, I know we have another socialite
0:22.5	coming up. I'm writing her right now, who is very attached into some criminal things and
0:27.9	thinking there has to be something, right? More with Lynn Wyatt and her past. Maybe there is,
0:34.6	maybe there is. And I stumble onto the story about Lynn Wyatt's first husband.
0:39.6	Not a whole lot of details in the world about Lynn Wyatt's first husband, Robert Lipman.
0:45.8	They were divorced in 1963. That's what I got. Oh, and also, he was convicted of killing a woman during a drug overdose and served time for manslaughter.
0:57.2	Ah, you know me. My ears are perking up. I go to see if I can find out any more about this, and holy cats.
1:05.2	Is there more to know that has everything you like in a story?
1:09.3	We're going to airmail. News for a little piece called sex, drugs and bloody murder by John Glatt, published in
1:18.6	2023.
1:20.4	You are never going to believe everything that's about to happen.
1:24.1	Robert Lipman, Lynn's first husband, and his criminal escapades. Let's investigate.
1:52.4	Y'all, I get so excited when I find out something that I didn't know and this is undercover.
2:04.8	I'm not saying I'm disappointed in our man, Nick, for not bringing this up because in 2006, a whole follow-up story connected to Lynn Wyatt about this true crime would have been his Ballywick. He doesn't talk about it. How are we to know this happened?
2:10.7	Thank you, John Glatt, for this particular piece from airmail, sex, drugs, and bloody murder.
2:18.4	Subhead, the gruesome killing of an aspiring model by a rich American playboy sent shockwaves
2:25.3	through Swinging London and its infamous Chelsea set.
2:31.1	Now think about all the people we've talked about that have been involved in this
2:35.4	crew. We're backing it up to 1967. John Glatt writes, during the Halcyon summer of
2:42.2	1967, London's King's Road was ground zero for the new global youth quake. Now, interestingly
