A Florida sheriff has confirmed rumors that the will of Don Lewis, the missing husband of big-cat rights activist and “Tiger King” subject Carole Baskin, was forged.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister spoke on the matter on Tuesday speaking with 10 Tampa Bay.
“They called in some experts to say that the will was a forgery and I had already told them that two months ago,” Chronister said. “They had two experts deem it 100% a forgery.”
Lewis went missing in 1997 and was declared dead in 2002. Fox has reported that his estate, worth up to $10 million, was left to Baskin and cut out his own family. In May, Joseph Fritz, a former lawyer and friend of Lewis, stated that he believed Lewis’ signature on the document to have been forged.
While Chronister could confirm the will was forged, he explained how the statuette of limitations leaves options limited for pursuing legal action, as the will has already been executed.
“That’s the only reason. There’s no recourse,” he said. “A judge deemed it valid. So the civil side of it, with the execution of the will and displacement of the funds is one thing. But then you have the criminal side which is unable to prosecute.”
