Following the apprehension of
Duane 'Dog' Chapman, star of
A&E's hit series Dog The
Bounty Hunter, his son Leland
Chapman, and business partner
Tim Chapman, A&E presents the
one-hour special, DOG: THE
FAMILY SPEAKS, premiering
Tuesday, September 19th at
10:00 PM ET/PT. The program,
which features an exclusive
post-release interview with
Dog and his wife Beth Chapman,
offers fans a firsthand
account of the dramatic events
that began with Dog's capture
by U.S. Marshals early
Thursday morning. The special
also chronicles the
astonishing events beginning
with the hunt for convicted
rapist Andrew Luster more than
three years ago, to the
emotional reunion following
Dog's release from federal
detention on Friday. The
special offers loyal fans an
opportunity to hear the story
directly from Dog, his wife
Beth and their family -- as
well as an opportunity for the
family to express their
thoughts and emotions in their
own words during this
extremely difficult time in
their lives.Dog, Leland and
Tim Chapman were taken into
custody by U.S. Marshals early
Thursday morning in connection
with charges stemming from
their 2003 capture of serial
rapist, Andrew Luster. Andrew
Luster, the famed heir to the
Max Factor cosmetics fortune,
was convicted of drugging and
raping three women over a four
year span. During his trial
in 2003, Luster fled the
country, leading to an
international manhunt. In
June 2003, Dog and his team
tracked the fugitive Luster in
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, where
he was living under an alias,
and seized him. As bounty
hunting is illegal in Mexico,
Dog, Tim and Leland were
arrested by the Mexican
authorities and released on
bail. Charges are still
pending against them in
Mexico. Luster was handed
over to the United States
government by Mexican
officials. He was
subsequently found guilty and
is currently serving a 124
year prison sentence. Dog,
Leland and Tim were released
on bail on Friday night and
are currently awaiting their
extradition hearing to face
trial in Mexico.
