18 Celebrities That Vanished Without a Trace or Explanation

Don Lewis

Let’s close out our exploration of celebrities that vanished without a trace by pointing to Don Lewis, a self-made millionaire with an eye for automobiles and real estate. Lewis would rise to fame thanks to his mentions in the Tiger King reality series on Netflix. Lewis would vanish in 2002 after developing a history of visiting sketchy places throughout South America. His wife, Carole Baskin, was often pointed at as a potential reason for his disappearance. Carole and Lewis had married in 1991 and had a notably rocky relationship.

Despite all the theories surrounding Don Lewis and his disappearance, no solid or concrete evidence has ever presented itself. Some say that he was fed to big cats after being murdered while others assume he went missing in South America. There have been no charges levied nor any arrests made in connection with his disappearance. Carole Baskin has since used her fame to try and find his remains.
