AceShowbiz - Police in Florida are hoping fans of Netflix hit "Tiger King" can help them solve the mystery surrounding the death of animal rights activist Carole Baskin's husband.
The docuseries launched earlier this month and has become one of the streaming service's biggest hits, and now cops in Hillsborough County are hoping the interest in the story of incarcerated zoo boss Joe Exotic and bitter rival Baskin, who runs a big cat rescue facility in the state, will help them with a cold case surrounding the disappearance of multi-millionaire Jack 'Don' Lewis.
He was last seen on August 18, 1997 and declared legally dead in 2002, but no one has ever been charged with his murder.
"I figured it was time to use the popularity of the show to see if anyone wanted to come forward with new leads," Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister says.
In "Tiger King", Joe Exotic accuses Baskin of killing her husband. She has denied having anything to do with his disappearance or death.
