Dog The Bounty Hunter is on the move and claims to have fresh “intelligence” on where the suspected killer might be hiding out.
Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman shared the updated information on Instagram, where he spoke to his millions of followers from a coastal island location in Florida. Although Dog doesn’t give his exact location but published a video describing it as having heavy vegetation that might be perfect for someone to hide in.
In the clip, Dog is standing near a search boat that presumably he is about to board and start searching for the missing suspect. You can clearly see that the reality star is on the shore, and the water appears to be on the Florida coast — but, he does not give up the exact location.

“Video is from this morning — earlier today we launched an active and specific search in a key area based on the intelligence we are receiving and researching. Boat crews and ground teams have been called in and we have search and rescue dogs deployed,” Dog captioned the video.
In the footage, Dog says the location is a “perfect place for him to hide” and there are “not very many people” in this specific location. He promises that the “search is really on!”
The reality star promises to give updates on the manhunt as soon as it unfolds.

As we reported, Chapman just finished hunting down a hot lead on the case that landed him in a Florida campground, that Brian’s family allegedly frequented earlier this month. Several reports claim that his parents had booked TWO spots in the campsite, which might have been for him.
Now, Dog has made his way to the coast and is closing in on some sort of small island. Again, it’s unclear where the information was gathered but the reality star claims to be working with local authorities. As we said, Dog is asking for tips to be sent to 833-TELLDOGG, which is being monitored every 10 minutes by his staff.
As you can imagine, fans and celebrities are cheering him on — on social media, including Jesse James who wrote, “GET’M DOG!!!!!!”
‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’ Looking For Justice For Gabby Petito
The weeks started out a bit rough for Dog after Brian’s parents called 911 on him after he arrived at their property. The reality star knocked on the family’s front door, before walking around the property in hopes of speaking to his parents.
“It’s a shame they wouldn’t speak with us,” he said. Adding, “The police said we were welcome to knock on the door so we did. I wanted to tell the Laundries that our goal is to find Brian and bring him in alive. The dad can still reach out to me, through social media, let’s get the kid captured alive. Alive.”
To be clear, it’s unknown if Dog actually has any solid leads on the case, but it sure likes he is putting in serious work on the case. Chapman says he is simply trying to get justice for Gabby Petito’s family and feels he should put his experience of capturing fugitives to work.
