Grisly discovery at Tiger King zoo
The zoo which once belonged to “Tiger King” Joe Exotic is being searched for possible human remains.
Police began searching Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, in the US state of Oklahoma, on Friday after two cadaver dogs found what could possibly be human remains, KOCO 5 reports.
The dogs were brought in for TV series Ghost Adventures, which investigates the paranormal, according to the zoo’s caretaker Jeff Lowe.
The dogs picked up on a scent in the alligator pit, TMZ reported.
Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park, and its former owner Joseph Maldonado-Passage, also known as Joe Exotic, were the subject of Netflix series Tiger King.
Joe Exotic is currently serving 22 years in prison for his role in a murder-for-hire plot and violating federal wildlife laws.
He tried to arrange the killing of Carole Baskin, a Florida animal sanctuary founder who criticised his treatment of animals.
Baskin was never harmed.
