'DUSTY RELICS'
Dog the Bounty Hunter and America’s Most Wanted creator ripped by Brian Laundrie’s lawyer for using hunt for ‘publicity’
BRIAN Laundrie’s attorney is accusing "America’s Most Wanted" creator John Walsh and Dog the Bounty Hunter of feeding their “publicity-hungry” egos to find his fugitive client.
Steve Bertolino fired a salvo at the two public manhunters who joined the effort to find 23-year-old Brian Laundrie, who vanished four weeks ago from his parents’ North Port, Florida home to go on a hike at a swampy refuge.

'PUBLICITY HUNGRY'
"Dusty relics like that Dog and John Walsh need a tragic situation like this so they can clear the cobwebs off their names and give their publicity-hungry egos some food," Bertolino said in an interview with Fox News.
A spokesperson for Walsh refused to comment.
But Dog fired back with his own sharp-edged retort.
"It’s ironic that Mr. Bertolino would criticize the people trying to find Brian Laundrie, unless perhaps he doesn’t want him to be found," he said according to .
The family attorney took aim at Duane "Dog" Chapman, the reality TV star with the blonde mullet joined the pursuit of Laundrie late last month and Walsh who appeared on an ID channel special Gabby Petito: ID Special Report that debuted on Wednesday night that aimed to investigate the unsolved homicide of 22-year-old fiancée, Gabby Petito.
“I believe he's out there with the aid of his parents,” Walsh explained on the show when asked if Brian was still alive.

Walsh took direct aim at the fugitive’s parents, Christopher and Roberta Laundrie, claiming they were aiding their son to elude the authorities.
“They're actively aiding and abetting his escape and they're helping him stay out there,” he said.
