Tiger King star Jeff Lowe has reportedly said he received an anonymous letter – and it says the body of Carole Baskin’s ex-husband is buried on her property.
This comes not long after the TV personality had to be airlifted to hospital in March, after suffering a stroke in a casino.
Tiger King, the seven-part true crime Netflix documentary, explored the eccentric world of big cat breeding in America.
It followed quirky personalities such as zookeeper and convicted felon Joe Exotic, as well as big cat conservationists such as Carole Baskin, owner of Big Cat Rescue, who accused Joe Exotic of abusing and exploiting the animals.

Don Lewis, Carole Baskin’s ex-husband, went missing in 1997 after leaving his home in Florida, and although there is no evidence of Don being killed, many investigators suspected foul play.
And many viewers have been questioning whether Carole herself murdered her ex-husband – an allegation which she has repeatedly denied.
Now, it has been reported that Jeff Lowe, a Las Vegas playboy in the documentary, has received an anonymous letter from someone who claims they know where Don’s body can be found – and they claim the body is under Carole Baskin’s house.

Jeff has told TMZ that the letter was sent to his Tiger King Park in Oklahoma, back in May 2020.
However, the strange letter has no name or return address marked on it, throwing doubt on any legitimacy it may have.
The creepy handwritten letter reads: “The corpse lies under Her House. The Faithful Witness.”
The note then hints that the writer believes that his body can be found somewhere hidden on Carole Baskin’s property – similar to a theory Carol herself has already shut down in a Youtube video.

TMZ also reported that Jeff and his partner Lauren have been in touch with a federal agent about the letter – and they then notified authorities in the area that Don went missing.
The news site states that Hillsborough County (Florida) authorities requested the eerie letter back in May last year but Jeff refused, after producers of the Tiger King sequel, Tiger King 2, asked that he kept the letter.
However, now that filming has finished, the couple are believed to be finally sending the letter to authorities.

Main star of the show Joe Exotic is the former owner of G W Exotic Animal Park, and is currently in prison serving 22 years for his involvement in a murder-for-hire plot and wildlife charges.
After the show’s release in March 2020, the scandalous tiger series attracted a whopping 34.3million viewers over its first 10 days, partly due to the timing of its release in the early days of the first lockdown.
And since the documentary aired, Carole Baskin, 59, has become one of the most controversial and talked about people on TV.
We previously reported that Baskin may have stacked up a hefty profit since her time in Tiger King – she may even be sitting on millions.
