Many also took a moment to send prayers for Beth and remember the matriarch of the Chapman clan. Duane is the figurehead of the family and the face of the family bounty hunting business.

Many of their children work in the business and appear in reality shows that were inspired by the business. Amongst the main team of the bounty hunter is his son, Leland Chapman.

Leland Chapman did boxing and mixed martial arts as a teenager and went on to join the original show "Dog the Bounty Hunter," and "Dog and Beth: On the Hunt." He is also in "Dog's Most Wanted."

Beth had also been a big part of the family business. She has appeared in some episodes of the show posthumously as she had continued to work on the show throughout her battle with cancer.
