The Netflix sensation “Tiger King” was about more than just the flamboyant Joe Exotic. The show also discussed the sudden disappearance of Don Lewis and how his wife, Carole Baskin likely did him in. In the docuseries, they semi-accuse Baskin of killing her husband and feeding him to the tigers. According to his associates, Lewis claimed he was about to pull off the deal of a lifetime down in Costa Rica that was scheduled on the Monday after he disappeared. Before his disappearance, Lewis had tried to get a protective order against Baskin, he told friends he was worried for his life and wanted a divorce. Unfortunately, the police felt death threats were not enough and he never got the chance to leave Baskin. Baskin had everything to gain with his death, but authorities were unable to prove her involvement and a body never turned up. But now more evidence has been found that shows she forged the will.
“The signatures on Tiger King’s Don Lewis’s will and power of attorney were traced from his marriage records, according to a handwriting expert who examined the documents that surfaced after the millionaire animal sanctuary owner disappeared.
Thomas Vastrick’s analysis matches that of Willa Smith, a handwriting expert hired by Lewis’s family to examine the documents when they challenged the will and power of attorney produced by Lewis’s wife, Carole Baskin, in 1997, according to a report issued last week by the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting (MCIR).
But the family didn’t pursue the matter, Lewis’s daughter Donna Pettis said, because “our attorney was afraid that if Carole continued serving as conservator over the entire estate, then we were risking that our trust fund would be depleted by the end of the five-year term.”
So it seems like Baskin got away with murder here and the family is too afraid to stand up to her. It looks like Joe Exotic was right in his claims that she killed her husband. She even ruined Joe’s career. She seems far more deadly than the tigers she cares for.
