"So I know that area's got a lot of animals and predators and wildlife so, but I am just like everyone else I'd like to know how she passed," Dog told The Sun.

Recalling his own daughter's death, Dog continues, "I know that my daughter was killed at the same age.

"And for a few weeks they didn't tell me that the car actually rolled over on my daughter's skull, I’m going to cry."

Dog adds that the delay in Gabby's autopsy result is "an act of mercy."

"I think if she was suffocated they would have announced that right away," he says. "I think it's more than that."

While Dog has unleashed his own search party for Brian, it's being reported he might face kidnapping charges if he holds the fugitive against his will.

According to Daily Mail, he's not licensed as a bounty hunter or private investigator in the state of Florida. That means he does not have the authority to arrest or hold Brian if he finds him.

Brian is currently wanted by the FBI for using an "unauthorized" credit card to pull out $1,000 days after Gabby was last seen alive.
