Sheriff Confirms Carole Baskin’s Missing Husband’s Will Was Forged

After watching Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, everybody’s favorite person to hate—became Carol Baskin, aka enemy #1 if you’re asking Joe Exotic.

There were so many storylines to follow between Joe’s reality show, the polygamy, the zoo employee who lost her arm to a Tiger, a potential cult, as well as the disappearance of Carole Baskin’s husband, Don Lewis. Lewis mysteriously disappeared and then was declared legally dead in 2002, leaving Baskin with his 10 million dollar fortune. Since watching the show, many fans have theorized that she had something to do with her husband’s disappearance. However, investigators say there’s been no evidence to prove it that theory.

Now, a sheriff in Florida has revealed that officers believe the signature on Lewis’ will was actually forged. Hillsborough County Sheriff, Chad Chronister clarifies, he believes the signature on the will was traced. “They had two experts deem it 100 percent a forgery. But, we knew that … we knew that before,” Chronister tells Tampa’s WTSP-TV.

An unnamed woman came forward and confessed to being forced to witness the signatures, though the statute of limitations has already expired in regards to the will, the sheriff says. “The will had already been executed at that point. But, it certainly cast another shadow of suspicion, by all means.”

But Chronister says Baskin is not a suspect and adds that “investigators have some great leads.”
