Dog the Bounty Hunter investigating whether Brian Laundrie has been eaten by WILD HOGS or alligators
DOG the Bounty Hunter is investigating whether Brian Laundrie could have been eaten by wild hogs or alligators while hiding out from authorities.
Laundrie, 23, has been missing for over a month after telling his parents that he was going for a hike in Carlton Reserve in Florida in mid-September.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Dog said that he had learned a lot during the search for Laundrie, including exactly how alligators and wild boars can eat humans.
"I've learned I learned a lot in this case ... I thought I knew at all," the famous bounty hunter, 68, explained.
"...I found out that a hog, wild boar, if they eat a human, and they check for DNA, we're so close to their DNA, they can't tell it.
"I also found out that an alligator, when they get you they don't go -- like we see on TV -- eat you up. They ... drowned you and then stick you up underneath the bank for four or five days to start softening up, and then they eat you."
However, Dog said he personally believes that Laundrie is still alive.
"In the beginning ... I thought [Gabby's death] was not intentional -- second degree, involuntary," he told The Sun.
"Now, the way he's running, I think it's more than that. Is he alive? Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's alive," Dog continued.
"Do they wish he was dead? Oh yeah. Do they wish that we thought that his body was being eaten by alligators? Oh yeah."
Dog also addressed speculation that Laundrie may have taken his own life.
"I think they all wish that we thought that he was dead. I don't think he's that personality," he said.
