The Hillsborough County Sheriff sent out a tweet asking for leads on Jack Lewis's disappearance.
The true-crime documentary follows big cat breeders and trainers across the country, namely, Joseph Maldonado-Passage -- who goes by the stage name Joe Exotic -- who is currently serving 22 years in federal prison after being convicted for allegedly attempting to hire someone to murder Baskin, his longtime nemesis. Baskin, an animal activist, runs the animal sanctuary Big Cat Rescue.
But aside from Exotic's colorful life, one of the big mysteries of the series is what happened to Lewis, who was last seen on Aug. 18, 1997, and hasn't been heard from since. In the documentary, Exotic alleges on camera that Baskin was not only responsible for her husband's death, but that she also fed his remains to a tiger in her sanctuary. Baskin has denied having anything to do with Lewis' disappearance.
On Monday, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister tweeted about all the newfound interest in Lewis' case, and asked for new leads. "Since @netflix and #Covid19 #Quarantine has made #TigerKing all the rage, I figured it was a good time to ask for new leads," he wrote alongside a poster about Lewis that includes a number to call for anybody with information.
