Due to the pandemic hitting just before the show’s release, Tiger King became a wild phenomenon thanks to millions of people having nothing better to do than obsess over the Netflix docuseries. Part of that obsession included amateur detectives and online sleuths hounding animal activist Carole Baskin over the disappearance of her husband, Don Lewis. Despite Baskin being the target of a murder-for-hire plot that landed Tiger King star Joe Exotic in prison, she was the subject of rumors regarding how Lewis mysteriously vanished in 1997. Lewis’ family even went so far as to take out an ad during Baskin’s Dancing with the Stars appearance demanding answers.
