Duane 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' Chapman Says He's Received Thousands Of Leads Regarding The Search For Brian Laundrie
Dog has sniffed out some leads on Brian Laundrie.
Duane "Dog" Chapman recently joined the search for the missing 23-year-old, who has been named a person of interest in the death of his fiancé Gabby Petito.
The TV star, known for his hit show Dog the Bounty Hunter, revealed that he has already received tons of tips regarding Laundrie’s whereabouts.
“We’ve gotten over a thousand leads...So we’re going through all those leads,” the reality star said, per Fox News. “It’s incredible pictures of him here, they’re here. We’re going through all those leads right now.”
“I would say within 48 hours, we probably will have a location where we start the tracking at,” he added.
On Saturday, September 25, the famed bounty hunter began joining in on the manhunt for Laundrie, and he promised he would find him sooner rather than later.
Chapman — who showed up at the Laundrie residence in North Port, Florida on Saturday — told The New York Post that he believes the fugitive might be somewhere along the Appalachian trail.

“That is most leads coming in right now that say that,” he said at the time.
“[Petito’s] friend Rose [Davis] said she was 100 percent sure and more that because of his past, being there for two months at a time, that she said, ‘I’m telling you right now that’s where he headed,’” he recalled to the outlet.
“That's what he does,” he added. "He’s a wilderness guy."
As OK! previously reported, a Florida lawyer Tatiana Boohoff offered a $20,000 reward for “the first person to supply information leading directly to the exact whereabouts,” of the missing person of interest.
“I think a missing child is every parent’s worst nightmare,” she said at the time. “Our hearts go out to her family and to the community, and we hope that together we can get some answers and get justice for Gabby.”
The search for Laundrie has been ongoing since he was reported missing on Friday, September 17, just two days before Petito’s body was found near Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming.
