A Florida sheriff has lifted the lid on the investigation into one of the biggest mysteries from Tiger King – what happened to Carole Baskin’s husband?

He was declared legally dead in 2002, and despite allegations by Joe Exotic that she may have had a hand in his alleged murder, Ms Baskin, 58, has always vehemently denied that she killed him and fed him to her tigers.In fact, Exotic took his theory so far that he even produced a music video that features a Baskin lookalike holding a platter with a model human head and pieces of meat on it, while slowly feeding them to the animals.
The documentary explains how Lewis had built up a huge fortune, but left it all behind – and that alone has led Sheriff Chronister to believe the disappearance is highly suspicious. “Who had a will that ever talked about disappearance?” Sheriff Chronister says, pointing out that it would usually discuss what should happen when someone “dies”.
“The only theory I feel confident in is that he was killed,” he says. “Now who did it or how it was done, that’s the missing piece of this entire investigation. “Then in 2011 we reached out to Carole and asked her to take a Polygraph, and they alluded that she refused to do one – and she did. “I just feel more comfortable, 23 years later, knowing that we’ve exhausted every lead provided to try to solve this case.”
