Tiger King star Jeff Lowe receives anonymous letter saying the body of Carole Baskin’s ex-husband is buried on her property
Tiger King’s Jeff Lowe thinks he finally knows where Carole Baskin’s ex-husband, Don Lewis, can be found, all thanks to an anonymous letter.
The seven-part Netflix documentary, which explored the wild underworld of big cat breeding, catapulted the likes of Joe Exotic, Doc Antle, and Carole to worldwide fame in March 2020.
It was released just as the whole world went into lockdown, meaning the Big Cat Rescue owner, Carole, suddenly found herself becoming one of the most divisive people on the planet.
Don went missing in 1997 after leaving his home in Tampa, Florida. Even though no evidence of Don being killed has surfaced, investigators believe it’s unlikely that he disappeared on his own.
Now Jeff has received an anonymous letter from someone who said they know where Don can be found, even though it’s similar to a theory Carol has already shot down in a video she previously uploaded to YouTube.
Since the release of the hit show last year, viewers have questioned whether Carole murdered her ex-husband.
Jeff told TMZ that the letter was sent to his Tiger King Park in Oklahoma in May 2020. It has no name or return address on it.
The handwritten note reads: ‘The corpse lies under Her House. The Faithful Witness.’
This hints that the writer believes his body can be found somewhere on Carole’s Big Cat Rescue property.
TMZ was told that Jeff and Lauren were speaking with a federal agent about the letter, and they also informed law enforcement in Hillsborough County, where Don went missing.
According to the celebrity news site, Lauren said Hillsborough County authorities requested the letter in May 2020 but Jeff refused, as producers of the upcoming sequel Tiger King 2 requested he hold onto it.
Now that filming has wrapped, the couple is finally sending the letter to the authorities.
‘This is just another stupid stunt by Lowe to deflect from his own legal troubles,’ Carole’s current husband, Howard told TMZ.
He added: ‘Only a moron would think that an anonymous letter has any value.’
Tiger King can be streamed on Netflix.
