The millionaire owner of exotic cat sanctuary, Wildlife on Easy Street, mysteriously disappeared in August 18, 1997 shortly before Baskin took control of his will and estate over his first wife Gladys Lewis Cross.
Directing duo Eric Goode & Rebecca Chaikli interviewed Don’s associates and family members convinced Carole had used a meat grinder to destroy his body and ‘fed him to the tigers.’
‘Gladys and her daughters had strong selfish motivation to lie and make implications about the meat grinder and Don being buried on the property 23 years ago that have absolutely no basis in fact whatsoever,’ the 58-year-old animal activist wrote on her Big Cat Rescue website.
‘Don was not easy to live with and like most couples we had our moments. But I never threatened him and I certainly had nothing to do with his disappearance. When he disappeared, I did everything I could to assist the police. I encouraged them to check out the rumors from Costa Rica, and separately I hired a private investigator.’

Tiger King explored other theories about Lewis’ disappearance – including Baskin burying his body under a septic tank, Don crashing his plane, and Don starting a new life in Costa Rica.
And while the Big Cat Rescue founder & CEO is ‘disappointed’ at the ‘salacious and sensational’ film, she appreciates how it ‘reached an audience that had no clue about roadside zoos and hopefully now see the seedy underbelly of this exploitative and abusive business.’
Carole has high hopes for UCP’s upcoming small-screen adaptation of Robert Moor’s ‘honest and fair’ Wondery Podcast – Over My Dead Body – which will be produced by and star SNL star Kate McKinnon as Baskin.
Netflix’s seven-part docuseries Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness – centering on Joe ‘Exotic’ Maldonado-Passage’s murder-for-hire plot against Baskin – reached No. 1 on their Top 10 list since dropping Friday.

Perhaps Kardashian will take an interest in helping the 57-year-old former roadside zoo owner, who was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison for the plot as well as violating the Lacey Act and Endangered Species Act.
Joe Exotic is certainly a colorful character having run for both President in 2016 and Oklahoma Governor in 2018, being a gun-toting openly gay polygamist, as well as a country singer.
