Dog the Bounty Hunter discovered a fresh campsite on Florida‘s Shell Island during Wednesday’s search for Brian Laundrie as a chopper flew a sign taunting the 23-year-old fugitive.
The TV reality star — real name Duane Chapman, 68 — embarked on his fourth day of searching with a message for Gabby Petito’s boyfriend: ‘Aloha Brian Laundrie’.
The banner, which was flown over the islands off the western coast of Florida, according to Outsider, was signed ‘Dog’
During a ground search, Dog and his team recovered a can of Monster Energy Ultra Gold which appeared to have been freshly drunk at a makeshift campsite deep in the woods at Shell Island along the coastline Wednesday, Fox News reported.
However, the team did not find solid evidence suggesting that Laundrie, who is a person of interest in the homicide of his fiancée, Gabby Petito, 22, is in the woods on Egmont Key — which is located just southwest of Fort De Soto park.
Dog is likely not searching on Thursday, but will be following up with leads from his temporary headquarters in the Sarasota area, according to a statement from his spokesperson.
His team is expected to decide on their next steps this morning.
‘This has been a very different search,’ Dog said. ‘Social media has enabled us to do this alongside everyone out there. America is along for the journey with us and I’m ready to do more!’
