Dog the Bounty Hunter is marking his territory.

The reality TV star, whose real name is Duane Chapman, will open a home base in Central Florida Wednesday to help sniff out fugitive Brian Laundrie, who is sought for questioning in Gabby Petito’s disappearance and death.

Chapman was on Marco Island Tuesday sifting through tips while planning his next move and new headquarters, a source close to the high-profile manhunter told The Post.

“He’s trying to decide the next best lead to track,” the source said. “They are returning hundreds of calls and planning.”

Chapman interrupted his honeymoon with his new wife, Francie Frane, on Saturday to jump into the search for Laundrie, 23.

Christopher and Roberta Laundrie, parents of Brian Laundrie left their house Tuesday morning at 8:30. They were later spotted in a shopping center parking lot, they got in their truck and went home.

Christopher and Roberta Laundrie, parents of Brian Laundrie, were seen with their son at Fort De Soto Park

An image was posted on Gabby Petito’s Instagram in February that was tagged at the Fort De Soto Historical Fort, near the area where Chapman is investigating. Instagram

But Chapman said Monday that he has a lead on Laundrie that puts him miles away at the Fort De Soto Park in Pinellas County, where he said Laundrie and his parents were seen as recently as Sept. 8.

I can’t believe how many of them are falling for this doggy doo clown

What's it to you? Why do you feel the need to "correct" THEIR opinion?
Chapman isn't the only bounty hunter looking. A guy named Zeke Unger is out there too.

Pointing out the obvious truth.

Nope. You're giving your opinion and spitting contempt on those who disagree.

When was this written?
I'm mellowing out in my old age, which is nice. One of the keys
to my mellowing out is having developed a very strong
definition of what is and isn't my business, putting a lot of stuff
in the "not my business" category, and learning that the less I
bother with things not my business the happier I was.

Never seen his show but he seems straight-up. I don’t understand the negativity towards him.

I did see John Walsh on Fox last night; he wants to help. I can’t remember if he mentioned Dog.

I doubt that any of us influence other folks opinions much, but i do think it’s fair to point out that doggie Chapman has already wasted taxpayer dollars when got the police helicopter out to the St Pete park by feeding them obsolete information leading police on a snipe hunt. My opinion is that he’s making money for himself and doesn’t give a hoot how much he interferes with the investigation.

He's already wealthy. And he found leads that the police didn't so there's that.
As has been said, people are more likely to talk to him than police. Chapman doesn't have to reveal his sources, police do.

Why sugar coat it.
Guy cant vote, own a firearm and I don't know what else other than hes on his 6th wife.
From my view other than a reality show hes a ZERO.

At best Walsh is/was a real-estate developer turned reality show host & as the story goes he was "boinking" his underage GF of 16 when he was 20(a felony)whoops. He married her and they later had Adam who was abducted from the Hlwd Fl Mall while she shopped and left him to play video games and was later beheaded by a drifter. The body was never found, just his head.Drifter confessed. Tragic for sure. Preventable, IMO yes. That is what started his career as a crime sleuth. I lived in Dania at the time and remember that story well as we all do who lived it daily on the news.

Looks like a 3 ring pissing match between Walsh, Deputy Dawg and the FIB to see who gets the purse. My self I don't think either of those 2 give a crap about the girl only the $$ FIB no comment

What's your proof? The Laundries were registered and were at the campground. Twice. That was even on the local news according to a friend in the area.
Then there's the 3 second live video on BL's Instagram showing a small green boat and waves lapping the side.
The truth is you don't know anymore about Chapmans leads than anyone else. You simply dislike him.

He is a master of disguise who uses the art of deception to sneak up on unsuspecting fugitives.

It sounds like he has already discovered more that than the authorities.

the leads were bogus because they were registered sept 3 and sept 8. Everyone already knew BL hadn’t run for the hills on Sept 11 when he was seen getting in the red truck. The video didn’t come from Chapman,that’s a strawman. I’ll agree that i don’t like him(Chapman) or respect him.

“It sounds like he has already discovered”

“He” hasn’t discovered crap,he lives off tips from the public.
Hes using the public in hopes of reaping the reward.

The authorities cant divulge any info they have only move on it.

Those dates at the campground fit the timeline. They were there and then BL disappeared. Do you know if they were setting up an escape for their kid? Nope.
I didn't say the 3 second video came from Chapman. It was recent and from BL's Instagram and was on a news show.
