STEVE: CROWDS OF MOURNERS
TURNING OUT TO PAY THEIR
RESPECTS AT THE FUNERAL FOR
SLAIN 22-YEAR-OLD GABBY PETINO.
THIS, AS THE MANHUNT FOR
PETINO’S GIRLFRIEND BRIAN
LAUNDRIE INTENSIFIED IN THE
FLORIDA SWAMPY RESERVE.
EVEN NOW, DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER
HAS JOINED THE SEARCH THOUGH HE
WAS MET AT SILENCE AT LAUNDRIE’S
HOUSE WHEN HE KNOCKED ON THE
DOOR.
HE’S LOOKING FOR LEADS.
DOG, THE BOUNTY HUNTER DUANE
CHAPMAN JOINS US NOW FROM
FLORIDA.
DOG, GOOD MORNING TO YOU.
>> GOOD MORNING TO YOU, STEVE.
HOW ARE YOU, SIR?
STEVE: IT’S GREAT TO HAVE YOU AS
WELL.
SO, YOU WERE DOWN IN FLORIDA.
YOU WERE ACTUALLY ON YOUR
HONEYMOON, CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR WEDDING.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
STEVE: YOU WERE DOWN THERE AND
APPARENTLY YOUR PHONE JUST
STARTED RINGING OFF THE HOOK,
HEY, DOG, YOU HAVE GOT TO JOIN
THE HUNT, RIGHT?
>> WELL, YES.
WE WERE NOTIFIED BY A COUPLE
FAMILY MEMBERS AND OUR FANS JUST
KEPT PLEADING WITH US TO NO END
PLEASE, DOG, PLEASE, SINCE YOU
ARE IN THE AREA?
WILL YOU CHECK IT OUT.
[ONCE FRANCEY AND I STARTED
READING ABOUT THE CASE AND
SEEING WHAT WAS GOING ON, WE ARE
IN COLORADO, SO THE COUPLE HAD
PASSED THROUGH COLORADO, SO
WE -- THAT GOT OUR ATTENTION
RIGHT AWAY.
SO, YES, WE WERE DOWN THERE.
I WENT TO THE FATHER’S HOUSE TO
TALK TO THE DAD AND HE WOULDN’T
APE THE DOOR.
STEVE: RIGHT.
WHERE DO YOU THINK BRIAN
LAUNDRIE IS?
>> WELL, WE HAVE A SPECIAL
HOTLINE 833-CALL-DOG AND WE HAVE
GOTTEN OVER 1,000 LEADS.
STEVE: WOW.
>> SO WE HAVE REALLY, FRANCEY
AND I STARTED THIS TWO DAYS AGO.
SO WE ARE GOING THROUGH ALL
THOSE LEADS -- IT’S INCREDIBLE,
PICTURES OF HIM HERE OR THERE,
HERE OR THERE WE ARE 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.
STEVE: NOW, I UNDERSTAND A
NUMBER OF THE LEADS HAVE
SUGGESTED CHECK OUT THE
APPALACHIAN TRAIL.
WHY IS THAT?
>> WELL, HE -- THE LEADS, YES,
HAVE SAID THAT.
AND THE REASON TO BELIEVE IS
BECAUSE HE SPENT A COUPLE MONTHS
THERE IN THE PAST.
AND HE IS AN OUTDOORSMAN.
SO, HE HAS GOT T-SHIRTS ON HIS
SOCIAL MEDIA WITH THE MOUNTAINS.
HE HAS GOT PICTURES.
HE HAS BEEN THERE BEFORE.
SO HE IS VERY YOUNG.
HE IS NOT AN EXPERIENCED
CRIMINAL.
HE WILL DO WHAT HE SHOULD DO.
HE CAN’T STAY AND SHOPLIFT AND
STAY IN CHEAP MOTELS OR ROB
PEOPLE LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
I CHASE.
THIS KID IS AN OUTDOORSMAN.
SO I THINK HE WENT TO, AGAIN,
WHERE IS HE COMFORTABLE TO THE
OUTDOORS.
STEVE: SO HE IS NOT -- YOU DON’T
THINK HE IS AT THAT CARLTON
RESERVE DOWN IN THE WESTERN
PORTION OF FLORIDA, DO YOU?
>> WELL, I’M NOT SURE.
THE ONLY WAY THAT EVERYONE
THOUGHT HE WAS THERE WAS A
PICTURE ON A DEER CAM.
AND I SENT THAT PICTURE TO MY
PEOPLE AND THEY SAID DOG, THAT’S
NOT HIM.
SO, IF IT IS HIM, THEN HE IS
DOWN THERE OR WAS DOWN THERE.
IT’S UP IN THE AIR.
YOU HAVE TO SEARCH.
THEY HAD TO TRY.
THEY HAD TO DO THAT WITH THAT
KIND OF LEAD LIKE THAT, A
PICTURE.
STEVE: AND, DOG, THIS IS
PERSONAL TO YOU.
BECAUSE YOU LOST A DAUGHTER WHO
WAS ABOUT THE SAME AGE AS GABBY,
I THINK, BACK IN 2006.
>> YEAH.
MY DAUGHTER KATY WAS EXACTLY THE
SAME AGE WHEN SHE WAS KILLED IN
A CAR ACCIDENT.
SO, I KIND OF KNOW WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE AND IT’S THE SADDEST THING.
AND CATCHING THIS GUY WILL NOT
BRING THAT MUCH JUSTIFICATION.
BUT IT WILL MAKE SURE HE DOESN’T
DO IT AGAIN.
STEVE: YEAH.
I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO TRY TO
CATCH HIM, APPREHEND HIM BEFORE
HIS BIRTHDAY WHEN HE TURNS 24,
AND THAT WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOVEMBER.
>> YES, SIR.
WE TRY TO SET A DATE LIKE THAT.
AGAIN, WE ARE GETTING A LOT OF
LEADS.
STEVE, WHAT I LIKE AND YOU KNOW
HOW I AM, I WOULD LIKE ALL THE
CHRISTIANS OUT THERE TO START
PRAYING.
ONE THING WE HAVEN’T ASKED FOR
IS PRAYER.
NOW IT’S TIME FOR PRAYER.
THESE CHRISTIANS GET TOGETHER.
PLEASE PRAY THAT GOD WILL LEAD
ME THROUGH THE WILDERNESS RIGHT
UP TO HIM.
AND I WILL BE ABLE TO BRING HIM
IN ALIVE.
STEVE: AND IF ANYBODY IS
WATCHING AND GOT A TIP.
OF COURSE, ALWAYS CALL THE
POLICE. BUT WHAT WAS YOUR LINE?
BUT WHAT WAS YOUR LINE?
>> 833-TELL DOG.
