NEW CLUES CLAW OPEN ‘TIGER KING' COLD CASE

Evidence sheds light on fate of big-cat Carole’s MIA husband

A MOUNTAIN of new evidence has put a fresh spin on the fate of “Tiger King” star Carole Baskin’s long-missing husband, Don Lewis, according to sources.

Homicide investigator Jim Rathmann told The National ENQUIRER a treasure trove of newly discovered documents and the statements of Don’s former handyman could finally crack the cold case.

“This could be the dynamite evidence that blows the case wide open,” said a source.

According to Rathmann, sources located “a box full of documents with regards to Don Lewis — court papers, photos, all types of stuff,” which he is now examining.

Rathmann — who heads the probe into millionaire Don’s disappearance on the new Discovery+ series “Joe Exotic: Tigers, Lies & Cover-Up” — has also focused on Don’s ex-handyman Kenny Farr.
