Duane "Dog" Chapman and his family have been receiving threatening emails in the past few weeks.

The messages say the television personality and his family will be killed, Chapman’s Da-Kine Bail Bonds’ office in Hono­lulu confirmed Thursday.

The Chapman family sent the emails to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Los Angeles, and the family’s complaint has been referred to the FBI office in Hono­lulu, FBI spokes­man Tom Simon said.

Simon said the FBI could neither confirm nor deny that an investigation is taking place.

On the "Dog the Bounty Hunter" website, one of the threatening emails initially posted by radaronline.com said, "I’m going to murder you. … You are next on my list and are the bane of society. I will deliver you to God."

Chapman and his wife, Beth, who were traveling to the mainland, were unavailable for comment.

The Chapmans star on A&E’s "Dog the Bounty Hunter," which launched its eighth season in January, tracking down bail jumpers in Hawaii and on the mainland.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said physical threats over the Internet can fall within federal jurisdiction and could be punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
