Brian Laundrie’s mother, Roberta Laundrie, reportedly called 911 Saturday after Dog the Bounty Hunter, whose real name is Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman, knocked on her door.

  • “The female, Roberta ... called in on 911,” a dispatcher said in new audio obtained by Fox News. The dispatcher said the caller “referenced a situation with the male.”

Chapman told Fox News that he spoke with North Port, Florida, police after he arrived at the home.

  • “It’s a shame they wouldn’t speak with us,” he told Fox News. “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.”

North Port Police spokesman Josh Taylor confirmed to Fox News that the police have been notified multiple times about incidents at the home.

  • “We’ve been called to the house numerous times for all sorts of issues: media, protesters, celebrity searchers,” he said. “It’s not something normal. If the family calls and is concerned, we will respond like we would for anyone.”

Chapman started helping with the search for Brian Laundrie — the missing boyfriend of the late Gabby Petito, who was found dead by homicide in Wyoming — earlier this week.

The U.S. District Court of Wyoming issued a federal arrest warrant for Laundrie since he allegedly used an “unauthorized access device” after the death of Petito. The warrant suggests this was a debt card.
