Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman and the biological father of Sebastian Rogers claim they're on the receiving end of "really bad" death threats since ramping up efforts to find the missing teen.

Sebastian, a 15-year-old with autism, vanished from the Hendersonville, Tennessee, home he shared with his mother and stepfather Feb. 25.

Since announcing their collaborative efforts to track down Sebastian earlier this month, Chapman and Seth Rogers said they've been hammered with an increasing amount of death threats launched by "keyboard warriors."

"People run their mouths," Rogers told WKRN-TV Friday. "There's keyboard warriors every day. They want to send death threats and things to people, but they are cowards."

"It's really bad," chimed Chapman. "I mean, they have threatened Seth's family... and written letters to their employers, to their people, and that has got to stop."

The threats have prompted Rogers and Chapman to have their attorney issue cease-and-desist letters to their alleged harassers.

"What they are trying to do is not get people to quit talking about Sebastian," Rogers' spokesperson Tony Mathis explained. "They are trying to get people to quit harassing and attacking the people that are intimately involved with the case."

During an appearance on ex-FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer's Break The Case YouTube show last week, Chapman claimed Sebastian's stepfather, Chris Proudfoot, was hindering search efforts by "harassing" volunteer searchers, discouraging the public from helping track down the missing teen, and stating "the cops are... enough" in the hunt for Sebastian.

Meanwhile, Chapman revealed he's offering $50,000 of his own money, for a combined reward of $100,000, for information about the boy's disappearance.
