Investigating the Strange World of Joe Exotic will also examine the disappearance of Jack 'Don' Lewis, the former husband of Baskin.

Maldonado-Passage has accused Baskin of being involved with Lewis' disappearance, which she has denied. Tiger King's popularity has led a Florida sheriff to re-open the cold case.

"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?," ID said in a statement.

"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 seems to be talking - except for one man - and that man is in the center of ID's upcoming investigative series," the crime documentary channel continued.
