Police search private zoo once owned by ‘Tiger King’ Joe Exotic following reports human remains were found in alligator pen – PerthNow

Police have searched the private zoo once owned by Tiger King Joe Exotic, following reports human remains may have been present in an alligator enclosure.
According to local media, police and authorities went to the Oklahoma zoo on Friday after reports of a reaction from cadaver dogs near an alligator pen.
The dogs were in the park as part of filming for a show called Ghost Adventures.
Animal bones were found but no human remains were uncovered.
The zoo is managed by Jeff Lowe, who also appeared in the hit Netflix documentary, although he is expected to soon hand it over to Exotics nemesis Carole Baskin after a judge awarded it to her Big Cat Rescue organisation.

The courts decision followed a finding that the zoo was fraudulently transferred to Exotics mother as a way of avoiding paying Ms Baskin $1 million awarded to her during a copyright and trademark lawsuit.
Mr Lowe was ordered to repair the property and then given 120 days to move the zoos animals and himself off the land.
Joe Exotic is serving a 22-year prison sentence after being convicted of attempting to kill Ms Baskin, as well as crimes related to animal abuse.
The attempted murder, which was covered in the Tiger King series, involved Exotic paying an associate $3,000 ($4,316 Australian) to kill Ms Baskin in Florida.
Ms Baskin was a vocal critic of Exotics zoo, claiming he was breeding animals for commercial reasons and killing them when they were too old to pose with visitors.
Ms Baskin has also been the subject of controversy with the series featuring allegations she killed her husband Jack Don Lewis, who has been missing since 1997.
She controls his $10 million estate but has strenuously denied having anything to do with Mr Lewis disappearance.
