Hi Jeff. There's a popular theory revolving around the death of Don Lewis regarding that he was in the drug trade. In summary, it's known that his net worth before his death was in the millions and no one knew the exact amount, and people around him at the time weren't sure exactly how he made that kind of money other than possibly real estate or "he was just good at making money".

The theory ties him making frequent trips to Costa Rica with the drug business rather than having sexual affairs, and it's not uncommon that people involved in drug trafficking are also involved with exotic wildlife trafficking. Potentially, he could have been killed and disappeared after a deal gone wrong, and while Carole may not have killed her former husband, she isn't exactly forthcoming about what she knows.

What are your thoughts about this theory?

Thank you for your post. I haven't listened to the podcast yet since I'm in an area with little data, but will do so when I get the chance. I apologize if it's been mentioned already, but what do you know of where Aitken is today? Also, how did your anonymous package get traced back to you?

I remember reading your case in the news a long while back. Knowing you were on your last strike, what made you act on good conscience and turn the guy in for his photos? Did you assess the risk and turned in the photos knowing it could potentially lead you to getting arrested and face a harsh sentence? I guess what I'm really asking here is at the time, was there a sudden moral switch that flipped inside your head?

Is it often the case that escapees who are sent back across the border are jailed for a few months instead of capital or severe punishment? I ask because I've seen reports where people in NK are killed for possessing western or SK films. If that's the case, it seems bizarre that fleeing the country doesn't compare in terms of punishment.
