Now hearing Exotic Joe has an ex-wife, son named Brandon and three grandkids. How about that? Searched but found no pics. Supposedly Brandon was on the show.

Sorry about the repeat posts. I don't know what happened. I actually thought I'd deleted the original post because I wanted to edit it. I finished the longer post then hit something on my tablet and that one disappeared, too. Lol.

According to Kenny's ex-wife, he got the guns the night before JDL went missing.

Yes. You're right. She said he showed up in Don's van with about 50 guns. Nobody saw Don the day he 'went missing'. The police used the timeline Carole gave them. I think he was dead the night before. I think Kenny parked the van at the airport. Kenny said Don told him he was about to "pull off something big". I think he made that up to give Carole's story about Don possibly going to Costa Rica some credibility. MOO

(...) "Chronister told TMZ: “I’m extremely suspicious, but not just of her, of this whole circle here. I don’t want to allude to the fact or insinuate that she’s a person of interest and that this is who we are focusing on. I’m not comfortable saying that yet.

“Listen, there’s normally not one person that commits a homicide, it’s always a couple of people. This had to be extremely planned out, this had to be well thought out, there’s someone else involved in this, there is someone who is paid to do it, there is someone who helped do it. I’m hoping that person wants to come and get this off their chest and help law enforcement do the right thing.”(...)

Florida sheriff says more than one person killed Carole Baskin's missing second husband Don Lewis | Daily Mail Online
A article in the Daily Fail about them as well. From what I know of CB she will not be enjoying all this scrutiny. She strikes me as someone who likes to be adored, praised and not questioned. She’s now the butt of jokes, memes and news articles. I wonder how she’s coping with it all? JMO

CP bad-mouthing her uncle... now? I got the impression she admired him.

Maybe this will help you find Joe's son: The untold truth of Joe Exotic's son, Brandon Chappell

And Joe worked as police chief in the 80's???

MOO

Yeah that’s a little spotlight seeking imo. Same flavor as M Markle’s sister. Imo, of course.

Sheriff should ask theFBI for help. So much to dig through. MOO

Start with listing all of her inconsistencies.

Why hasn't LE ever specified if any airplanes were missing the day he disappeared? Seems that would be an important fact...

I think if there was, they would mention it.

 

[LadyL]

He is! And he doesn't deserve to be behind bars... At least not for the 17 wild-life charges. CB did exactly the same things in the past. She's not the Mother Theresa of wild cats!

JMO

"Free Joe Exotic"

so because she did the same things, they both are innocent?

 

[LadyL]

He was set up all along imo. Everyone knew it would be JE's end when JL bought the zoo.
JE did love animals. And the fact that he dedicated the then farm to his brother, helped him gain people's trust, i guess... A good-hearted man.
CB had the money and the right people having her back. She wanted to be the Tiger Queen... she kinda is now, but not for too long.
I have the feeling that this investigation is going to uncover a lot more than just a missing person's cold case.

I feel sorry for the animals. But there's nothing one can do to help them now... They wouldn't survive in the wild. We don't want them to be put to sleep...

*Free Joe Exotic*

ETA: There's a thread for JE... maybe we should discuss this there.

they can always go to a real sanctuary where humans don't exploit them

Thanks for posting that video. You have to give Carole credit. She reaallly tried to force some tears out, she just couldn't do it.

So, this video says he never got his pilot license. It's crazy that he wrecked 3 times and still wanted fly.

 

[itsreenw]

I just watched a video where Carole said her baby was over a month late. Is that possible?

 

[itsreenw]

Oh my goodness. She said she drove a box truck around while pregnant and loaded/unloaded furniture in parking lots to try to sell thinking it would make her lose the baby ( not verbatim but close enough), but the baby "held on".

 

[itsreenw]

I'm having trouble linking the video but there's a YouTube video "Before they were famous - Carole Baskin" She's telling stories I haven't heard before. I'm convinced she is making up most of her life story.

She claims the morning after she spent the first night with Don at the hotel, he dropped her off about a block and a half from her destination. Suddenly a man in a station wagon pulled up next to her with a shotgun and told her to get in the car. Don came running up behind the car with his gun drawn and saved the day.

It probably is... But remember, Carole broke her neck in three places, "in an auto accident", was paralyzed for weeks or months and, a chiropractor saved her! So perhaps the overdue baby is just one more of her lies.
And there's the "amnesia car wreck" story in 1985. ... But then we have diaries written "from the future".
I wouldn't give her much credit, if any at all. MOO

I'm dizzy. I hadn't heard about those stories either. Broke her neck in not just one, but three places??? The only thing she hasn't done is died and come back to life.
