You Can Bet on Carole Baskin Being Found Guilty of Murdering Jack Lewis and Whether Body Will Be Found
- Tiger King mania continues to be a major obsession for the general public
- The show has been a ratings giant for Netflix, outpassing Stranger Things in viewership
- With Tiger King stars such as Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin continuing to enthrall audiences, their impact is continuing far beyond the show’s duration
If you haven’t watched Tiger King yet, you’re definitely doing quarantine wrong. The show has been a surprise hit for Netflix, drawing in 34 million viewers in the first ten days. Now, less than a month after its debut, it’s dominating both social conversations and pop culture more than ever.
The show is enough of a hit for Netflix to produce an after special which premiered April 12. But even with follow-up interviews conducted with most of the cast, fans still have so many questions left unanswered. In the world of Tiger King, the story never seems to be over.

Odds taken Apr. 15
The number one question on the mind of every Tiger King viewer is whether or not Carole Baskin killed her husband Jack Lewis. As the show revealed, it’s been 23 years since Lewis’s 1997 disappearance.
Much of Tiger King focuses around Lewis’s disappearance. Carole’s arch-nemesis Joe Exotic’s speculation that Carole killed Lewis and fed him to the tigers is a largely adopted theory now. You don’t have to look hard online to find forums and memes in agreement to Exotic’s claims that Baskin killed Lewis.
Whether or not Carole killed Jack isn’t really the main concern. She’s pledged her innocence despite decades worth of investigations. Even if Carole did murder Jack, she’s managed to maintain her innocence for this long. Just because Tiger King brought Baskin to the limelight doesn’t mean it’s going to set her up for a new verdict.
Pick: No (-2500)
“Where is the Body?”
Jack Lewis has been missing for decades. Some believe he took off to Costa Rica to start a new life away from Carole since he was afraid of her. Police reports shown in Tiger King display Lewis’s attempt to get away from his wife and start a new life of his own. But it’s unknown if he made it to Costa Rica.
If he was murdered by Carole around the time of his disappearance and buried, his body would have likely been found by now. It’s morbid to think of these events, but even if Jack was buried and the body wasn’t found yet, it would be decomposed by now.
Another belief focuses on Carole murdering Jack and feeding his body to her tigers. Again, there would be no evidence for investigators to find by now.
No matter which way you look at this puzzle, it would almost be impossible for Jack Lewis’s body to be discovered nearly a quarter-century after his mysterious disappearance. This case is not likely to be closed anytime soon, unfortunately.
Pick: No (-2000)
Trump Exotic
President Trump was asked by the media during a Coronavirus Task Force briefing if he would be pardoning Joe Exotic from jail time. It’s not likely to see that happening anytime soon.
Trump has a lot of stuff going on at the moment in relation to COVID-19. Tiger King is far from his mind. He dodged the reporter’s question when it came up at the press briefing, so the door seems shut on this case.
Pick: No (-2000)
The Tiger Nanny
Though much of Tiger King focused on Joe and Carole, viewers have also focused on a lesser-known personality mentioned in the show. Jeff and Lauren Lowe’s nanny, Masha Diduk, has found a following on her Instagram.
Jeff Lowe has no qualms going on camera mentioning his ‘hot’ nanny. Turns out Diduk is still helping raise the Lowe’s daughter in between modeling gigs. Thanks to Tiger King notoriety, her personal Instagram page has gained followers. Her present count is at 252,000. Surely she can get that count up another 23,000 in a few weeks.
Pick: Over 275,000 (-170)
