The world couldn't look away from the eccentric individuals who were featured on Netflix's "Tiger King," particularly Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin, archenemies who both have an obsession with large cats. "Hey all you cool cats and kittens" was Carole's signature greeting online. One of the plot lines of the first season of "Tiger King" was that Carole's ex-husband Don Lewis mysteriously went missing in 1997 after six years of marriage; he was legally pronounced dead in 2002, as the authorities were unable to locate him. However, in November 2021, Carole said something in an interview that shatters the whole claim that Don is dead.
