For over a week now, authorities have been searching frantically for Brian Laundrie after the killing of his fiance' Gabby Petito. But TV reality star Dog The Bounty Hunter says he is closing in on him.

According to gossip website TMZ, Dog the Bounty Hunter says (through a source) that Laundrie is alive, and he feels he's close to capturing him.

TMZ's "sources with direct knowledge," said that Dog is rolling to a remote site where he says Laundrie is hiding. It's worth noting that the gossip site adds, "we cannot confirm Laundrie's location or whether he's even alive, but we're reporting what Dog is saying." And that TMZ hasn't actually spoken to Dog.

The source said Dog received the information 12 hours ago (9/28), and he is working with a team that includes skilled ground and boat crews.

There is more to come on this news for sure.
