In the summer of 1997, Don Lewis left his Florida home at 6am for an early morning delivery and was never seen again
Tiger King star Carole Baskin has claimed that her 'dead' ex-husband is supposedly 'alive and well' - and no one really noticed until now.
There is no evidence Lewis was murdered, no arrests or charges were made, and Big Cat Rescue boss Carole wasn't named as a suspect and has always denied any involvement in his disappearance. Don's vanishing looked set to remain one of life's greatest mysteries, until Carole claimed to have confirmation he is actually alive on an episode of ITV's This Morning.
"And yet all of this hate has been made about me having something to do with his appearance when Homeland Security has known where he is since at least back then," Carole continued. Lewis, who disappeared in 1997 at the age of 59, would be 84 if he is still alive today. He has not made any public statements to debunk any of the speculation.
According to TMZ, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, which is in charge of Don's missing person's case, told them its had no communication with federal officials to suggest they've located Lewis.Carole met Lewis in 1981 when he was already married, embarking on an affair before tying the knot themselves in 1991.
Carole claimed Lewis's mental health had been deteriorating, saying he had begun rummaging in dumpsters and hoarding vehicles and junk. Dale Lively, Don’s mechanic, remembers the weekend he disappeared and said: "He was talking about Costa Rica, he told me that he was getting ready and was going to move his cats down there."Using the popularity of Tiger King in 2020, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister appealed to the public for legitimate leads or evidence for the case.
He even wrote a truly terrible song called Here Kitty Kitty about the alleged crime, which had the lyrics: "Oh, here kitty kitty. Mama's got some treats for you."Another theory is that Don's body is hidden in the septic tank at her sanctuary. She told PEOPLE magazine: "Can you imagine having people think you killed your husband or wife and not being able to prove otherwise?There has also been the suggestion that Don was planning to divorce Carole and fled to Costa Rica so she couldn't get his fortune.
"But by 1997 it seemed like things he were getting crazier, things he was doing were crazier. He was someone who flew without a licence and crashed three planes.
