Someone is not a fan of Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman, and they're making sure he knows it.

The reality-TV star and his family have been receiving multiple death threats via email for over four days, leading to an FBI investigation. 

Before you continue reading, you should know that the nature of these messages is explicit.

On April 30, a message to Chapman, obtained by RadarOnline, read, "I'm going to murder you. I'm going to come to Hawaii and murder you and your family in cold blood. You are next on my list and are the bane of society. I will deliver you to God."

Days later, another email was delivered, "I'm going to murder you and your family. I'm going to slaughter your family. I'm going to cut the fat tits off your wife while I watch your children bleed. I want to see you cry, like you did everyday in prison. I want you to watch as your family gets massacred right in front of you Then I'm going to f--k you in the ass with your f----t Indian beads."

The threats continued with talk about raping his children, "It will feel so great. The blood of the innocent gets me so hard. Bye, Duane."

The family released a statement saying, "The Chapmans are taking these threats seriously and are very concerned about the safety of their family. Duane Chapman said that when the person responsible is found, he will prosecute to the full extent of the law for the threats made against his family. A referral of the case has been made to the FBI in Honolulu."
