On the recently released Tiger King 2 series, a document the show identifies as being from the Department of Homeland Security states that Don is "currently alive and well in Costa Rica." In an interview with British TV network ITV's show This Morning, which aired on Thursday, Nov.

"And they said that my husband Don Lewis is alive and well in Costa Rica," she said, "and yet all this hay has been made about me having something to do with his disappearance, when Homeland Security has known where he is, at least since back then.".

On the second episode of Tiger King 2, Lewis' attorney, Joseph Fritz, said that after the first season was released in early 2020, a police detective called him and "got mad at me and slipped up and told me there were federal reports of [Lewis] alive and well in Costa Rica that he had to overcome." Fritz said a friend who works in federal law enforcement helped locate more information for him. The document attributed to Homeland Security is then displayed.

"[Redacted], working in conjunction with SAC/New Orleans S/A [redacted] has learned that Don Lewis is currently alive and well in Costa Rica," the document says.

Dominick, a former sheriff's investigator who assisted Garcia on the case, told the newspaper that  anything on the series suggesting Lewis was alive in Costa Rica is "all noise."

Baskin said in a statement on her website on Thursday that Tiger King 2 "continues to do everything they can to falsely convince the viewer that Carole was involved in Don Lewis' disappearance...And for everyone who still wants to believe that Carole killed Don, then please explain to us why you think armchair detectives, or you are better informed than the Special Agent in Charge at the FBI in this Homeland Security Document which says 'Don Lewis is currently alive and well in Costa Rica.'"

Baskin has a theory that Lewis crashed a small plane or ultralight into the Gulf of Mexico, which she detailed in a recent Reddit Q&A. On Tiger King 2, Lewis' associate in Costa Rica, Rey Rodriguez, said that the man "talked about moving to Costa Rica to start over fresh" and told him "he was there to get away from Carole." Rodriguez said Lewis flew a Cessna plane back and forth there and then he often brought in heavy boxes filled with $100,000-$200,000 in $100 bills, buried under used clothes, and put the case "in different companies" to hide money
