Andrew Luster caught by the bounty hunters

- The bill has already been passed by the House. Now it awaits a full Senate hearing. The state of Oregon plans on bringing back the tradition of Bail Bondsmen. Since 1974, Bail bondsmen have been banned in the state of Oregon beside three others. The House Bill 2682 will be studied by an interim committee before the next legislative session.
The concept of bail bondsmen allows for commercial operators to pay the bond to ‘bail out’ criminal defendants. In case of forfeiture and the criminal bypassing the law, the operator hunt them down. A very famous name in this business is that of Doug “Dog” Chapman who is a hugely successful Bounty Hunter with over 7,000 captures to his credit, the most famous one being that of Andrew Luster.
Andrew Luster belongs to the line of the very lustrous family of cosmetic giant Max Factor, who founded the Max Factor cosmetic brand. He was convicted of serial rape charges in 2003. Two to three weeks before he was to go on trial, on January 2003, Luster had fled the country. He was declared a fugitive by the law, and the judges ruled that Luster would go on trial even in his absence.
On January 22, after 2 days of speculation and deliberation on the case, without Luster’s presence, the jury found him guilty of 86 of the 87 charges he had been indicted with. His conviction fetched him a total of 124 years in the prison. He was caught in Mexico by Doug “Dog” Chapman.
The truth about Luster came to light when he had used the GHB (date rape drug) on one of his unsuspecting victims called Carrie and admitted to her about giving her the drug. Detectives caught him using Carrie as a bait and discovered his other victims from the tapes found in his beach house.

Bounty hunters are needed in Oregon, lets clean up the state and allow experts to give their input on how best to implement the system

I’m glad the legislature is considering legalizing bounty hunting. I remember the Luster story in the news and I’m sure Dog Chapman saved many women from the fate of Luster’s previous victims. I think that having a well planned system in place for bounty hunting would be a benefit to Oregon. In fact, Dog Chapman would make a good consultant for the state.

I think the Dog, Leland and Tim did an excellent job of catching Andrew Luster. The only thing that really buggs me is that the Us Marshalls & Mexico police had to arrest them for doing a great job aprehending him. He was a menace to society. I love the Chapman family, Dog,Leland,Beth,Duane Lee, Lyssa and Tim. They are a wonderful family with their love of family to help them stay together. I saw the show where Beth was afraid when they just took him and Leland and Tim. I am so glad they are back bounty hunting as a family. Much Love…Azure

Bounty hunting first began in Medieval England back in the 12th Century so it has a long history; these days, bounty hunters usually have to be licensed and play an important role in helping track fugitives who fail to appear at their court dates or who try to abscond whilst awaiting sentencing. I’m glad they have been allowed back into Oregon, as they can only be of benefit…I also hope Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman and his family can help train their colleagues to be as skillful and successful at tracking down fugitives as they have been. Reality show aside, their success speaks for itself!

Dog, Leland and Tim did a great job in catching Luster. They did something no one else would do and brought justice to all the women who were victims of Luster.
I know they will do an awesome job in training others to be as skillful as they are. We need more people like Dog and his family in this world.

I know someone called him doug on one of the websites. It know it is Duane(Dog) Chapman. The whole Chapman family are the greatest family in the world. They did an excellent job by getting him caught by the best bounty hunters in the world. I love watching the show, and the re-runs too. Have them on DVR too. The Chapman family are nice, caring people who go out bounty hunting together as a family and catch these criminals who are out on the streets. Congratulations to the family. They are simply the best. Thank you for all that you do

“dog” is a felon himself. i cant believe you people think he is a great guy. as a matter of fact, from my understanding, the majority of the family are all ex cons. “dog” is a joke and so is his show. its very far from reality.

I think the key term, “socal hunter”, is ex- cons! None of the Chapman family have ever hidden the fact that they have criminal records, and it’s interesting that those who have them were the ones to catch Andrew Luster when the law enforcers with no criminal record (the police) could not. If Dog continued to behave the way he did in his much younger days, I’d have no sympathy, but all those in his crew have made mistakes, learnt from them and are now helping communities by fighting the war on drugs. None of us are perfect, but our actions in the present show our true colours. Andrew Luster to all intents and purposes was wealthy and had no reason to do what he did, other than that his nature was that of a sociopathic monster…he did what he did for pleasure. Anyone who can put someone like that behind bars deserves respect. Andrew Luster grew up with everything and look where he ended up!

” DOG ” & his crew are nothing but a joke. They give bailbonds and recovery agents a bad name. I foe one am so damn tired of hearing Oh your just like the “dog”, No I am a working man not a joke. The sooner “dog” and his crew are out of the business, the better our business will be. If you people really knew what goes on behind the scene with “dog” and A&E, you more than likely not watch the worthless show they put on…..
