Lewis was reported missing by Carole Baskin, who was married to him at the time. She’s a big cat owner and animal rights activist made famous for her ongoing feud with Joseph Maldonado-Passage – better known as Joe Exotic – in Netflix’s “Tiger King” series. Baskin tried, and succeeded, in shutting down Exotic’s Oklahoma big cat zoo, and he was convicted for a murder-for-hire plot targeting her.
Even from federal prison, he claims Baskin is the real killer and is responsible for her husband’s death. He’s fanned the fires of elaborate theories – such as Don being fed to tigers. Another popular rumor is that Lewis was dropped out of a plane into the Gulf of Mexico. Well-known attorney Alex Spiro, who is working with Lewis’ daughters, says he’s trying to cut through the noise and speculation in attempt to finally learn the truth in this nearly 25-year-old mystery.
