- Although an official statement released by the US Department of Justice refers to Maldonado-Passage’s target as “Jane Doe,” Carol Baskin, CEO of Big Cat Rescue, believes he was targeting her.
- According to a story published on the Big Cat Rescue website, for years Baskin has received numerous death threats from Maldonado-Passage including a video where he shot an effigy of her in the head.
