For anyone watching Tiger King, a new docuseries on the breeders and the rescues of the big cat world in private zoos, they cover the disappearance of Don Lewis and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his life leading up to his disappearance. If you would like to read more, check out here. .
A few things I would like to cover quickly.
Nebraska Ave is notorious for being an awful part of town in Tampa, and is often where one would find “ladies of the night”. I think her story of meeting up with Don for the first time is silly, and it’s much more likely that she was soliciting Johns than was “out at two AM walking around crying because she was in a fight with her husband and Don just wanted to talk”. I’m surprised the docuseries, as salacious as it is, glosses over this.
As far as I understand, there are also suspicious circumstances around her second husband that were not addressed in the documentary (as I have seen so far, have not finished it)
She has written a rebuke to the “Tiger King” doc, you can read it here.
My concerns with her response are as follows: I looked at the details relating to the assistant and the claim against her, and couldn’t find much relevancy to her claim. I may not have read far enough.
Also, the claim that she didn’t ever say his planes were flown to Costa Rica are a little disingenuous, isn’t that what she’s claiming is how he disappeared, by flying a private aircraft to CR and crashing? What is Carole’s official story then?
Is every other person in the world except her and her husband con artists and bad guys? That doesn’t make sense.
So what do you think, is this a case of a widow being taken advantage of despite her doing her best to save some tigers, or is she as nutty and suspicious as the rest of those on the documentary?
