lewis a man who seemed to vanish without a trace we had lost all hope of ever knowing
00:00:42
what happened to dad and then they got some hope from a tv series tiger king was an addictive netflix
00:00:53
documentary series i'm julie miller i'm the senior feature writer for vanity fair
00:01:00
tiger king centers around joe exotic my name is joe exotic and this is sarge an oklahoma-based animal cat owner and his
00:01:08
sworn enemy his rival carol basket talking about a woman down in tampa florida named carol baskin joe exotic is
00:01:17
this wild cartoonish flamboyant openly gay mulleted tattooed gun-toting large animal owner kind of the mick
00:01:29
jagger i'd say of the large cat animal world carol has fashioned herself as more of
00:01:35
an animal activist big cats don't belong in cages she says that what joe is doing
00:01:41
is not humane and should be stopped it'll be a cold day in hell before you completely stop me but also woven into
00:01:49
this entertainment uh was this cold case don lewis the owner of wildlife on easy
00:01:55
street disappeared carol's second husband don lewis disappeared under very mysterious circumstances it was in 1997
00:02:03
and he just vanished there have been all sorts of theories there's one that he was drugged and put
00:02:12
in one of the small planes and dumped out in the gulf if the plan was to push him out this
00:02:18
door that's a challenge the most insane theory probably being that carol baskin had her husband ground up in a
00:02:26
meat grinder and fed them to the animals word has it that carol snuck up on gun in the middle of the night beat him in
00:02:34
the head ground him up and fed him to the tigers as bizarre as that sounds this woman believes her ex-husband who
00:02:42
once worked for don and carol may have revealed something about don's fate during a fight he said if you try to
00:02:50
leave me again i will put you in the grinder like i did dawn in a meat grinder yeah
00:02:56
her ex-husband denies her story do you believe her husband told her that he'd put her in a meat grinder the
00:03:04
way he did to don i will tell you that there is certain information she's provided that has been
00:03:09
independently corroborated who would you like to interview the most carol baskin
00:03:15
i didn't kill don people want answers they want to know what happened to don lewis
