Dog The Bounty Hunter has joined the search for Brian Laundrie, the boyfriend of YouTuber Gabby Petito whose body was found in Bridger-Teton National Park last Sunday. Her death has been ruled as a homicide and Laundrie is a major suspect.
You can see Chapman embarking on his search below:
On Saturday afternoon (25 Sep) Duane "Dog" Chapman was seen knocking on the door of the home of Laundrie's parents, with who he has been living with.

Either no one was home, or the family decided not to answer as Chapman and his wife left the area within a few minutes.
Although, police were seen to be entering the home shortly after.
Chapman told FOX News: "We had a lot of requests that I get in on this. This is what I do for a living, for 45 years."
The 68-year-old has 13 children and he sadly lost his daughter to a car accident when she was the same age as Petito.

"I know what the victims feel like," he concluded.
Police and FBI have been searching the home of Laundrie's parents after declaring it a 'crime scene' earlier in the week.
Laundrie has been missing since September 14 after telling his parents he was embarking on a solo hike around the Carlton Reserve, near to the property in Florida.

22-year-old Petito and Laundrie had been travelling around the national parks of the USA since late June or early July.
After discovering Petito's body in the Bridger-Teton National Park on 19 September, the FBI's office in Denver, Colorado announced the results of the autopsy on 21 September.
"Teton County Coroner Dr Brent Blue confirmed the remains are those of Gabrielle Venora Petito, date of birth March 19, 1999. Coroner [Brent] Blue's initial determination for the manner of death is homicide."
The agency added: "The cause of death remains pending final autopsy results."
Laundrie disappeared just before the police named him as a person of interest to the case and two days before her remains were found in Spread Creek after a tip-off from other 'van life' bloggers who had filmed their vehicle.

Petito was last in contact with her family on August 30 before Laundrie returned to his family home alone in Florida two days later.
The 22-year-old's grieving parents have said through their lawyer they will not be making a public statement until their daughter's remains have been returned to them at home.
Richard Stafford said: "I want to personally thank the press and news media for giving the Petito and Schmidt family time to grieve.
"We will be making a statement when Gabby is home."
