The family of Carole Baskin’s ex-husband, Don Lewis, has hired celebrity attorney Alex Spiro to investigate his mysterious 1997 disappearance, which came under new scrutiny following the viral release of “Tiger King” last year.
The Netflix docuseries chronicled the long-running feud between Baskin and Joseph Maldonado-Passage, also known as “Joe Exotic,” who is currently serving a prison sentence for a murder-for-hire plot targeting Baskin.
Joe Exotic repeatedly made claims in the documentary that Baskin killed her husband in 1997 and possibly fed him to her tigers at Big Cat Rescue.
