In a surprising twist to the mystery surrounding Carole Baskin’s husband, Don Lewis, she now asserts that he is alive and residing in Costa Rica. Despite enduring years of speculation and accusations linking her to his disappearance, Baskin maintains that Don is not missing.
During filming for the second season of Tiger King, Baskin claims to have received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stating that Don Lewis is alive and well in Costa Rica. However, doubts persist regarding the authenticity of the letter and the ongoing investigation into the matter.
Baskin has been vocal about her efforts to obtain a copy of the purported DHS letter and her eagerness to understand its contents. Despite reaching out to the FBI for further information, she has yet to receive a response. Baskin has expressed surprise at the apparent lack of awareness among many reporters regarding the existence of this letter.
While Baskin remains convinced of her husband’s survival, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) continues to classify Don Lewis as a missing person. Federal partners have not provided any confirmation of his whereabouts, and the investigation into his disappearance remains active and prioritized.
Until concrete evidence surfaces regarding Don Lewis’s fate, the case will persist as unsolved. Despite conflicting assertions, Baskin remains steadfast in her belief that her husband is residing in Costa Rica. The quest for clarity continues, with hopes that more definitive answers will emerge in due course.
