A US sheriff has said that he is "extremely suspicious" of Tiger King star Carole Baskin over the mysterious disappearance of her second husband Don Lewis.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister told TMZ that he believes Lewis was killed for his fortune in a murder-for-hire plot.
He raised his suspicionsabout Baskin but refused to name her as a person of interest.
"I'm extremely suspicious but not just of her, of this whole circle here," Chronister said.
"I don't want to allude to the fact or insinuate that she's our person of interest we're focusing on. I'm not comfortable saying that yet."
"This had to be extremely planned out, this had to be well thought out. There's someone else involved in this. There's someone who was paid to do it, there's someone who helped do it."
