“People develop their properties. This is a very beautiful prime piece of property. You can’t stop development,” Beth told local news station KHON. “It’s a bittersweet day for us. Sweet in the fact that we need to downsize, simplify our life a little bit so we can focus on my health and figuring out what’s going to happen from that.”
To mark the departure, the Chapmans are hosting a meet in greet at the office, which was heavily shown on their A&E series, on Saturday. They will also be selling various items from the office, giving fans a chance to own a piece of Dog the Bounty Hunter history.
“This is were they could always come to get a little piece of Dog, where they feel like they were part of the show,” Beth told the Star Advertiser. “It’s just been a very, very long ride at this place. So it’s just been bittersweet for us to go.”
Ahead of the event, Beth also discussed her ongoing cancer battle. After surviving a throat cancer scare in 2017, the ailment returned in late 2018. She is reportedly undergoing chemotherapy in California and is spending most of her downtime at the family’s Colorado estate.
