Things get extra crazy in the docuseries’ second episode, once authorities realize that the celebrity chimpanzee known as Tonka, now in his 30s, has gone missing and wasn’t among the adult chimps transferred from the Missouri Primate Foundation to an accredited sanctuary. Where is Tonka? His caretaker, the obsessed “monkey mogul” Tonia Haddix, tearfully insists the animal died of a stroke. Others, including her adversaries at PETA, believe she faked his death. The series interrupts Tonia’s bizarre story to flash back to the cautionary tale of Sandra Herold, whose ownership of 200-pound “pet” Travis led to tragedy in 2009 when the adult chimp severely mauled Herold’s friend Charla Nash, ripping off her face.
