Daughter Of TV’s 'Dog The Bounty Hunter' Dies Before His Wedding
A daughter of reality TV star Duane "Dog" Chapman was killed in a car accident a day before her father's wedding, a spokesman said Saturday.
Barbara Katy Chapman, 23, died Friday night near her home in Fairbanks, Alaska, said Michael Feeney, senior vice president of A&E television network.
Duane Chapman's wedding on the Big Island went forward as planned Saturday after the family consulted with a preacher and agreed to celebrate her life at the ceremony, Feeney told The Associated Press.
The star of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" married his longtime sidekick, Beth Smith. The couple have been together for 16 years and have two children.
The wedding will be featured in an Aug. 14 episode of the show, about Chapman and his tattooed crew of fugitive finders.
According to press reports, Barbara Katy Chapman, 23, died Friday night near her home in Fairbanks, Alaska, after the stolen car she was riding in careened off a highway.
She was one of 11 of the bounty hunter's children. She is survived by her mother, Lyssa Greene, and her 4-year-old son, Travis Drake-Lee Chapman.

Judging from this article, I'm willing to bet that Dog might not have known his daughter.

Stolen car. One of 11 children. 23 year old mother of a 4 year old.
Yes. I'm being judgmental.
Class Act All the Way.

I was just thinking this. Also--if he's such a Christian  , why weren't they married before now? 16 years of basically shacking up?

It is unfortunate. However, they were obviously not very close at all as she wasn't attending his wedding.

A young woman, who by accident of birth is the daughter of a "celebrity," is dead. Perhaps the world should allow her to rest in peace.

But apparently it's okay to speak ill of the dead if you're classier than they are! Which you are! Especially if you're the kind of person who would speak ill of the dead on GC! So classy!!!!

I feel sorry for that poor 4-year old boy.

I just saw the wedding episode of "Dog the Bounty Hunter."
He actually did know his daughter and he talked about how he was there when she was born and how he couldn't believe that he finally had a daughter (after so many boys).
He did say that the daughter went back to alaska to live with her mother and that there were some problems between the daughter/Duane and the daughters "choices." He also said that he took care of her son for a while.
He was very distraught about it....poor him--they told him THE DAY of his wedding!

slightly off topic I know, but my mom pointed this out to me. In the opening of the show they list Beth as Dog's wife and did last season at least. Maybe they were married by common law or something? I guess I just assumed they had been married before this until I heard about the wedding. Anyone know about this?

Okay - I'll admit it - I am a Dog junkie. I have been hooked for the past year since my MOTHER IN LAW (of all people) got me watching!
Dog & his wife Beth (and her gigantic hooters) were common law spouses. I think the success of the show & the fact that we all love a "celebrity" wedding contributed to the decision to make it legal.
Dog & his daughter were reunited last year when she showed up to make things right in her life with her baby. They were reconnecting & trying to have a productive relationship when she fell of the wagon again and left leaving the baby with Dog & Beth. I do not know if they still have the baby (now 4) or what happened with that.
I will say this - it is funny to see them pray before leaving, and then everything on the hunt is MF this and that -- but they do try to do right by and for people. I have seen many times where they will turn around and post bail again for someone that is trying to make something of themselves. They could be worse people and for that I can forgive them their use of words that we don't normally use in polite company.
The episode with the wedding, if you didn't see it, was incredibly sad with the news being reported to Dog and then cameras rolling again. The man made mistakes & didn't have the normal start to life that we all hope for - he turned things around & now helps other people get back on track. Now he faces the worst - seeing one of his own children killed through her poor choices. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

LOL! I don't know why I started watching, but I really dig the show. Dog is wacky but entertaining.
Maybe I just miss working with felons every day.
