The will of 'Tiger King' star Carole Baskin's missing husband Don Lewis was forged, sheriff says - WTHR

Lewis was the missing millionaire husband of Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin, one of the series' stars.

This year, Netflix's limited series raised curious questions about whether Baskin knew anything about her late husband's disappearance.

Back in May, Lewis' friend and former lawyer Joseph Fritz told Fox News he thought his client's signature was forged on the document that gave Baskin Lewis' money.

And, the paper said two different handwriting experts had each concluded Lewis' signature appears to have been "traced" from his 1991 marriage record.

But, we knew that...we knew that before," Chronister told 10 Tampa Bay.

In April, the sheriff said the last contact his agency had with Baskin was in 2011 when she turned down a polygraph test based on the advice of legal counsel.

But, the case no longer seems totally "cold." In an interview, Chronister hinted that relatives and an office manager gave detectives new information.

"Investigators have some great leads," Chronister said this week.

But I never threatened him and I certainly had nothing to do with his disappearance," Carole Baskin explained in a previous statement refuting claims from the Netflix series.
