Duane 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' Chapman Will 'Continue' Search For Brian Laundrie Despite Ankle Injury, Rep Says He Needs 'To Attend To A Variety Of Matters At Home' Before Returning

Duane "Dog The Bounty Hunter" Chapman may be down, but he's not out of the hunt for Brian Laundrie.

As previously reported by OK!, the reality star returned to Colorado after he injured his ankle during his search for the fugitive.

The 68-year-old's representative told Yahoo! Entertainment that Chapman "will continue to search until Brian Laundrie is found."

"Dog and [wife] Francie Chapman need to attend to a variety of matters at home in Colorado, including Dog's ankle injury which occurred during the search," the rep explained. "There is still a group of investigators working with Dog who remain in Florida and are researching regional tips. Additionally, Dog's command center team led by [daughter] Lyssa Chapman and Greg Zecca continue to assist in managing the search logistics and researching leads from Hawaii and Colorado, respectively."

The publication noted that if Chapman finds the 23-year-old, he can legally detain him until authorities arrive. "There are also licensed people working with Dog, and also off-duty police. He's covered to apprehend multiple ways," the spokeswoman explained.

According to WFLA news anchor Josh Benson, Chapman's camp "says he’s put together a talented network of local team members he calls the 'Florida Team' that will continue the search while he’s gone. He says he will continue to process leads in Colorado while he’s there. "

The bounty hunter joined the search last month. He told TMZ that he was on his honeymoon when he heard that Laundrie had vanished. He said he got involved "because of my unique skill set and the fact I was only an hour away from where he was last seen."
