The screw continues to turn. Photo: Courtesy of Netflix During these trying times, the Netflix-having members of our nation have flocked to one source of solace like animals around a watering hole: Tiger King. This seven-part docuseries — chronicling the illicit operations of roadside zookeeper Joe Exotic — has everything. There is polygamy. There are drugs. There are bitter rivalries. There is aspirationally chaotic fashion. There is apparent cult activity.

Even if you have only seen the Tiger King memes, you will be aware that Joe Exotic believes Baskin fed her first husband — Jack “Don” Lewis, missing for over 20 years at this point — to members of her own menagerie. While Baskin has repeatedly denied any involvement in Lewis’s disappearance, the internet discourse has prompted Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister to reconsider the case.

“Since Netflix and COVID-19 quarantine has made Tiger King all the rage,” he tweeted on Monday, “I figured it was a good time to ask for new leads.” Chronister also added a raft of hashtags, including #CaroleBaskin, and a post that reads “Only YOU can help solve the Jack ‘Don’ Lewis cold case.” Lewis has not been seen since August 1997, when he allegedly left the 40-acre animal sanctuary he shared with Baskin for Costa Rica. Authorities found his van at a local airport, but beyond that, not a trace.

For Baskin, the documentary — which she has characterized as a pack of “unsavory lies” — is a source of consternation and ire. For the conspiracy-loving masses currently confined to their homes, however, it is a bottomless well of fascination and intrigue.
