The search for Carole Baskin‘s missing husband is on and Investigation Discovery will be diving deep into the mystery of his disappearance.

Entertainment Weekly reports that the network has announced a limited docuseries that will focus on Jack Donald “Don” Lewis‘s disappearance.

“Love her or hate her, Carole is now in the center ring of the big cat circus,” ID shared in a statement about the show. “Is she a selfless crusader and protector of animals, who found unimaginable strength despite the mysterious disappearance of her husband? Or are we witnessing Carole Baskin’s master plan finally take effect?”

It continues, “Despite her claims of innocence, did she orchestrate the disappearance of Don Lewis to seize control of his fortune, consolidate power and lay waste to her foes? No one seems to be talking – except for one man – and that man is the center of ID’s upcoming investigative series.”

The project is titled Investigating the Strange World of Joe Exotic, and ID says that you’ll get to see “the investigation you didn’t, and revealing the secrets only Joe knows and the exclusive footage that has never been shown.”

Don Lewis went missing in 1997 and Carole has denied any involvement in it. The case is still open.

Joe Exotic is in coronavirus isolation while in jail.

Speaking with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM Radio Andy show on Wednesday (April 1), the 57-year-old Tiger King star’s husband Dillon Passage revealed that Joe has been placed “on a COVID-19 isolation” behind bars.

“We speak like three to five times every day, but since he’s been moved to this new facility, they are putting him on a COVID-19 isolation because of the previous jail he was at, there were cases,” Dillon shared. “I’ve yet to speak to him since he moved.”

Andy then asked if Joe “is in his own COVID-19 quarantine,” and Dillon responded, “From what I know, yes.”

Joe is currently serving a 22-year jail sentence after he was found guilty for paying a hit man $3,000 to kill his sworn enemy Carole Baskin.

A former employee of Joe Exotic is opening up about the zookeeper who was brought to fame in Netflix’s Tiger King docuseries.

While remaining anonymous, the former employee answered a ton of questions that fans had about Joe, his husbands, working closely with the big cats, and with PETA, too.

“I stayed with Joe for nearly 5 years and in that time I learned a lot of good and bad about the animal industry,” the employee wrote. “I met some wonderful people and some terrible people. I even have been engaged to twice to previous employees of the park. One I am happily married to and the other whom took her own life.”

He added that he was “one of the lucky ones to get away from this lifestyle and have managed to be happy in the aftermath of Joe Exotic, many others have not been as fortunate.”

The former employee did answer about the truth to the documentary.

“I think the overall story arch was pretty accurate and the basis behind each person was done properly. Joe really did have multiple husbands, Doc is a pervert version of Hugh Hefner, and Jeff is a player. But there was some evens that I do not think they captured properly such as the first or how they portrayed Joe as an Actor in front of the camera for the purpose of being in front of the camera.

He continued, “I would say that two of the people that chose to be in the documentary portrayed their stories fairly accurately, but the majority of those involved were mostly looking to increase the drama for their 15 minutes of fame.”

Margot Robbie… as Joe Exotic?! It’s an idea that’s actually being talked about right now!

Robert Moor, who hosted the podcast about the Tiger King star, is opening up about his ideas for the casting of the upcoming limited series about the crazy story. The podcast is being adapted into a series with Kate McKinnon playing Joe‘s rival Carole Baskin.

“We’ve been talking over a lot of names,” Robert told Radio Andy about the casting for Joe. “Names we were throwing around were like Sam Rockwell. My preferred casting — and this is a bit off the wall — would be Margot Robbie. I think Margot Robbie should play Joe in like a gender switch [thing].”

“Look at her eyes,” he added (via People). “That’s the thing if you look at her eyes, she has these eyes that are just like Joe’s … I think she would do a great job with it.”

Robert also said that he thinks “John C. Reilly should play Doc Antle, I like that one a lot.”
